China Told to Get Lost... Again.

Yep, I tried being nice, I let China/Korea have access to my site again, just incase some poor sot there was running a board, and in spam hell.

Well, lesson learned, all it did was attract low class script kiddies, skript kiddies, or skiddies, whatever you want to call them. And lo, when they saw ZB Block was impenetrable by their lame attacks, they decided to start an http_referer spam campaign against my site, usually from homosexual pornograpic sites. This is designed to hurt Google Pagerank and other indicators of a site's quality. Never once did I see a valid, interested access from China. Never once did they get through my protections.

But they annoyed the hell out of me.

It's funny how the infamous Great Firewall of China stops normal good folks from using the web, yet seems to be assisting organized crime in attacking the rest of the internet. Sounds like someone is buddy-buddy "heh-heh" getting their pockets lined by the Russian Business Network to open the floodgates of spam. Imagine that, many people going against their beloved Mao Zedong's party, and co-operating with the Russians to the detriment of his people, his party, and his state. What is worse is, the same attacks and spam were coming out of Korea too, this means that "Beloved Leader" Kim Jong-il's people are stabbing him in the back too. Just shows you how two faced communists are, no matter their stripe.

Well, lesson learned. The blocks are back in, and the ZB Block IP banlist for Chinese / Korea IPs has been updated, thanks to the lists Okean provides . Just paste them into the appropriate area of your customsig.inc to turn off China and Korea like a switch.

It's too bad I had to resort to this, but it's a lesson learned.

Zap.
