Hello,<br><br>it was not a spam in my case. See that piece of shit:<br><br>---------------------------<br>Hello,<br>
<br>
I run a forum at ****.<a href="http://co.uk">co.uk</a> and tonight a user has highlighted a private message that was sent from
the following IP: 72.14.**.** on: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 21:20:54 UTC.<br>
<br>
The recipient has personally contacted the Child Exploitation & Online Protection Centre <a href="http://www.ceop.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.ceop.gov.uk</a>
however, having done a lookup on the IP and finding this email address,
I wanted to alert this to you too. I have now blocked any access from
72.14.*<br>
<br>
Here was the original message:<br>

I've had it with you, cun.t. I know more about you than I should. I've
seen what you look like, fatso. And when I drop by your area I am going
to find you, and I am going to <a href="http://fu.ck/" target="_blank">fu.ck</a> you up your arse and then strangle you to death. No joke.<br>
<br>
I will watch your face while you run out of breath and shrivel up and
die like the fanny licking little faggo.t you are. Oh what a fun sight
it'll be. A sight for sore eyes? YEAH.<br>
<br>
--********<br></div><br>-------------------------------------<br><br>Forum admin is probably also an id*ot, because I dont know, why he blocks subnet of 65000 IP address because of single abusive post. On other hand, I accept my VPS's provider attitude, because it is unacceptable to leave his IP pool in blacklists...<br>
<br>As I wrote many times before, running my VPS has priority No.1, but I also like to support Tor and I will try to find any solution to keep exit node running. If anybody have an idea, please help me!<br><br>Marek<br><br>

I have gotten two abuse complaints relating to posting of spam onto Craigslist<br>
via my Tor exit node. In each case i sent the complainant and my ISP a note about<br>
Tor (modified EFF DMCA response) as well as a suggestion that part of the problem<br>
is the website's failure to require users to authenticate and confirm postings.<br>
Forum users can be anonymous but still maintain a solid internet reputation.<br>
Even anonymous users can be identified and located based on repeated abusive<br>
behaviour at other forums.<br>
<br>
Also, it would be overkill for the website to ban the entire IP space of your<br>
VPS provider since they need only ban the IP that your Tor node has (or all Tor<br>
exits e.g. using TorDNSEL service <a href="https://www.torproject.org/tordnsel/index.html.en" target="_blank">https://www.torproject.org/tordnsel/index.html.en</a>)<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
