Hi there,

I'm wondering. During the registeration process, when you are creating a myspace account. Does myspace keep track of your IP? What about when modifying your profile or when adding friends/doing whatever through a bot?

Thanks
 


Right from what I've gathered they seem to track IPs or something, but not do anything about it because then how would people in the same area with same IP use myspace?

Wonder if anyone can confirm any of this stuff? Basically I want to make alot of accounts from the same IP at my house. Using proxies wastes so much time.
 
First off, mysapce does track ip addresses, but it's not a big deal. The spam limits they monitor for are based on account specific actions, not ip specific actions. You'd have to be doing some pretty heavy moving on their servers before they'd pick up an ip specific problem.

Also, TOR is quite amazing. Above all else... it actually works. A lot of people use it for filesharing servers, spamming, etc. A testiment to the fact that it's fairly effective at what it does can be found by looking at court cases that involve TOR. They're all against people who are running an exit node on the server, not the people who were actually using the node.

haha. well when i said confirm I meant more than just a simple "i bet" or "its makes sense".

And about tor, well I did use it for making accounts before but compare it to how fast you work when not using tor...well the speed difference is noticeable.

So that is why I'm posting this thread. I'd rather not have to use tor because everything - which for myspace for me is using bots to request friends and making accounts are alot faster by just using my internet connection normally.

So from what sometemple says, atleast for regg'ing and modifying accounts I won't need to use tor. But about friend requesting...

haha...what does "pretty heavy moving" mean?
 
well duh...

you cant have it both ways.... you want random ips and also speed like your going direct.. sorry =P

Yeah well too bad I can't have everything :P

I just mean, do I need to have random IPs and if I do, for what type of process....making/regg'ing accounts and/or requesting friends with automated bots....yeah i'm probably starting to get annoying :/
 
through tor (plain jane out of the box) you can easily make 1 account per minute.... thats a lot of accounts in a 24 hour period.

Yeah but somebody's gotta be sitting there typing in them CAPTCHAs. I dont know anybody who can do that for 24 hours a day. But if its really possible to easily do one account per min, thats pretty good.
