I am no longer convinced (as I was earlier) that this is simply ordinary spam which the mods were running into trouble stopping. This has the feeling of a coordinated DDoS (by someone competent, not someone like AndrewThompson666).
It must be people aimed at operating system developers.
When my domain expired a week ago, OSDev.org was clean.
When it expired, spammers went from my forum to here.
I currently have no money of my own to pay the ~$15 of Namecheap.
Probably my website keeps these particular spammers busier.
Probably that would make them go away again and return to my forum.
Could they simply be the same spammers of my forum?
I have had spam attacks since around 2012 in my forum. I'm currently controlling it (
haven't had a single attack since I implemented it) by asking new users to convert to text a scanned book page that I need, but I will add this idea of asking only for known topics and always working source code per post (or money once per registration) so that spammers and people without enough interest go away knowing that the site is purely about developing software, hardware and related topics only in immediately practical ways not just without reusable discussion texts (
http://devel.archefire.org/forum with expired domain added through the hosts file also makes spammers non-existent).
It happened that it was also associated with personally identifying me wherever I went, truly a way of regularly assaulting people from information posted in websites.
It doesn't matter that posts are in Russian, surely somebody local to somebody here is trying to know the identity and home place of people around here for later physically attacking them in places such as public markets, churches, your neighborhoods, anywhere anyone can go alone for leisure.
It was the case with me. I survived the attacks of 6 individuals. I no longer attend to anything that they (random things around me that I know are associated with that) suggest to me. Now I know that a gradual interpersonal degradation like that is just a hard-to-figure way of having a chance of finally harming you that is to be expected and then ignored when going out home. I can now see that this is one of the very best, top-notch ways of leading anyone even to death, but if we all already know this fact, we won't let the small group (normally below 10) behind these spam attacks to mislead any of us in real life as happened with me due to the truly hard nature of figuring that this is a hunting method aimed at an individual.
In that time, Steve Jobs, Pat Villani and probably others died. I got at least 3 programming books worth $75 stolen by strange mail workers. They all must be from the same group, who knows what they do to programmers when near. Probably they are like the people who dedicate themselves to plague DHL with delivery problems and fake emails like those I received recently, there are of those everywhere in the world.
