Corina Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 it will stop them as i said the sites that have this no spam, spammers hate doing intros and this will keep those spam bots and spammers in one area, which would be better for the mods cause then they wouldn't have to search for those threads that way we can control where they post unlike what happened today As of now we are a nice target, cause they know we have no way to stop them really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie582 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I just got a SPAM private message today!!! Me too!!! Trying to sell a program for multiple postings.

bobh Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Over night I got a PM spam from one of our beloved members!! I don't want to give it away but he's posted in this thread! Maybe the board name was faked? I get all sorts of spam in my e-mail with my own e-mail address as origin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 something needs to be done.... our beloved board is in a sad state.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Maybe the board name was faked? I get all sorts of spam in my e-mail with my own e-mail address as origin! Yeah, that's probably the case, but i've never seen it in the form of a PM. Anyone else agree that last night's rampage was the worst yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 HOLY COW. I feel sorry for you, mods, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topher Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Mods need to lock up the membership for a while. Once they realize that they can't spam here, they'll move along and we can open the membership again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 the uber mods need to do something.... anything.... hello? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 we need to yell at the mods and whoever is running the site and tell them that we are sick of these spam attacks and want action to stop them Maybe then something will be done (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Who are the mods here anyway? Who is Admin? Yep, I think we've had this spam nonsense for quite long enough now - time to deal with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 IP Boards Client Area I think our admins are the ones who can talk to the people who design the forum. That's as far as I can get. I guess it's up to Stujoe or whoever his successor is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Also, we should be patient with the moderators and admins here. They've done a great job with the site the last few years and have been removing the spam in a timely manner til this recent attack. Let's be patient and hope they log on today.

Corina Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 i know i'm yelling as much as i can about the situation and waiting for the mods isn't going to work anymore, while we are waiting the spammers are having a field day, this is beyond bad it's now critical we need actions not "well let's wait for the mods to login" that isn't working anymore, but how to get the mods and the owner of the site to get on this ASAP is the question i hate yelling but the situation is getting out of hand fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corina Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 cute now back to the question of what to do with the 50 or more spams we have so far here today and how to keep these spam attacks from happening again? this is getting very serious and i fear we may lose members if something isn't done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I haven't been as active here lately due to the spam that's been coming in. I wish that wasn't the case, but it has impacted how often I visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Since all of the reporting, akdrv's inbox is full. So akdrv, I was wondering if there is anything that can be done?????? Currently as I write this there are 4 pages just in the main coin forum of spam ads If there is anything I can help with let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 so how much longer do we have to suffer though these damn spam attacks before someone fixes the site to where they can't do spam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
