Join the fight against malicious commands given to new users

I changed mine. I hope that it will help other people out there.

I bet its Bill Gates! :twisted:

Count me in. This is an excellent idea. :)

I got so angry when I saw a user posting that as generic advice to solve problems...

Signature changed.

Well, even though I'm not really much of an Ubuntu user... I do hang out on this forum a lot.
Signature changed!

I edited in a link to this thread.

Hi!
I was just thinking: Isn't there any way to filter all messages containing these commands, so a moderator can read them before they are posted?

It would be impractical, I believe, since there ARE (in rare cases) legit uses for the command in question, such as removing unneeded compiled programs and such.

Im in, i dont usually post in the beginners forums and sometimes im not worth 2 cents of help but im in.

Not frequently, but we just had an attack two hours ago. That new (or old) poster has been banned and the posts have been jailed.

Good Question. I know there is a mod that restricts posting of links to established user of a set # of post.

For now we can do our own little part.

Can't the offenders be reported to their ISP as it seems that banning is only temporary until they get a new IP assigned.
