Its a "post Island" org and in that respect it works very well, providing a place for the island's 25 year old creations to get fair competitive fights without getting screwed by 18 year old creations who will far outpace them in development & can actually hit their peak while 25 year olds will be declining before they ever could. And every year there is a fair-sized batch of fresh recruits to pull from. TBH without an Org like this: 1. The Island loses a lot of value and makes it even less interesting to get involved with. 2. Everyone ends up sacking their Island Fighters OR 3. Some org swallows up all those Island fighters to Hype-mine them which would end up as obvious "cheesing" fighter hype for that org's 18 year old creations which in turn cheeses that Org's hype.

Another Russian Spambot account nailed before he posted. https://forums.mmatycoon.com/index.php?/profile/120499-andreaslyo/ Andreaslyo 21 minutes ago · 84.17.49.50 https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/84.17.49.50

Nobody so far, I would have taken it on but I already took on running RSE as I had a bunch of fighters there and I didn't see any good options for them if RSE collapsed while I only got 1 guy in Highland now & if that collapsed I would probably just retire him since no way he competes with 18 year old creations., given how well things have gone for my current & past 25 year old creations vs 18 year old starters.

Top one has an email unlike the rest of the spammers so will not ban that right away. Bottom one was a Russian Spambot Account as its email had the same pattern as the other ones so that one is now banned - good catch.

Odd

For example I literally just banned: - https://forums.mmatycoon.com/index.php?/profile/123492-andreasbgp/ - https://forums.mmatycoon.com/index.php?/profile/124547-viktorijkl/ - https://forums.mmatycoon.com/index.php?/profile/125461-agrohimbcj/ All have a similar email address "style" (mods & admins can see these) and all of them had zero prior activity, no posts, likes, dislikes, etc. Look at their joined date and all are historical accounts, same pattern as all of the prior Russian-langauge spammers. I've looked athe IP addresses and they have all been VPN servers, and most of them are on IP blacklist addresses. e.g. Andreasbgp 11 minutes ago · 188.214.122.57 https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/188.214.122.57

All of the recent attacks have used OLD accounts already set up on the site with zero prior posts. These all have email addresses with a very apparent pattern but which are very hard to combat with the available website tools. On a few occasions I have logged onto spot a user name that looks similar to the dozens they have used before and I have checked the email address, seen it looks very much like the format used for the others and managed to ban them before they even posted anything. Script kiddies could have easily manufactured thousands of accounts on this website with some very simple automation and all done long before measures were put in place to make sign up more secure. I have suggested a purge of all old accounts with zero posts to clear out all the possible accounts these spammers can use, whether that's possible under this forum's back end or not I don't know. The alternative is having access to the full members list of accounts with emails & manually deleting/banning them which could take a long time if there are a lot in there.

Early on your fighter's career that is going to happen unless you have built your fighter to specifically defeat that, and most early builds are just not going to be that well rounded without sacrificing their stand up game. High Takedown defense, high balance, high speed, high transitions, high escapes and good defensive grappling will lower the chances of being taken down & increase the ability to get away but to have all that early on your stand up will suck. So early on you will have to choose where you are competitive in MMA and accept losses will happen, or you can go the grappling org or Kickboxing Org route until your fighter is more well rounded.

I got a feeling that the player-run bookie system is all but dead, an automated Bookie system for fights could be interesting addition though.

Shouldn't be necessary to repeat it as the extra steps now prevent mass-creation of accounts far better, and I wouldn't bother with a warning for accounts with zero posts, use it or lose it.

I have noticed that the Russian Spam is coming from "old" accounts, these have been "Joined in January 2023" all the way back to "Joined in October 2022" so far, so that might explain how there are so many accounts at one time since these are already in the MMATycoon Forum user database they sidestep all the measures added later on. There could potentially be hundreds of accounts they have already registered on the forum. Maybe we need a purge of ALL historical registered accounts with 0 posts to combat that? Everything older than six months maybe.

Headkick, then Hang Draw & Quarter them, spending 20 to 30 mins a day cleaning up their garbage sucks.
