Fight against spam
-
wouldnt it just be easier to have a like forum support team created that allows for deleting and keeping an eye on these things made up of those users that are in here all the time.
-
@Musou-Tensei I don't think North Korea has much incentive to spam a small internet forum, haha.
-
I believe this is a job for the mods... but they need to sleep too.
-
The spam has been exterminated sorry about that guys. Lucky I was up early enough to deal with the problem. Also I do not mind getting my inbox flooded with flagged posts.
-
@Swordfish00830 I suppose its better to get an inbox spammed with flags than having a forum full of chinese spambots! :3
-
Ya it's fine. Flag away if you notice anything.
-
I don't really understand this kind of spam...
Has anyone ever clicked on a link from those kinds of posts in the history of the internet? Or do people just like to be a nuisance?
-
I was wondering why the amount of my unread posts suddenly skyrocketed tonight. Wacky spambots.

Exact same thing happened to me when I signed in.
-
Working through it now guys. Sorry about this.
-
I've installed reCAPTCHA and Honeypot to cut down on spam registrations. We have some other options we can do, but let's see how this works first.

Those dastardly Koreans are at it again! I wonder what's in the code of that bot, really it makes no sense to write a spam link bot that does nothing but blast one section with a dodgy title. More of a nuisance than a threat to people one would imagine.
-
Don't worry your ever vigilant mods are always watching 😎
-
Time to fight again. So many Delhi Call Girls and stuff here now.
-
Yeah I have reported like 80 posts just today! To arms against the spammers! to arms!
-
It's a good thing I've got decent internet this morning. Instantly saw 99+ notifications... I was thinking I'm not usually this popular :P
-
Squeaky clean. It was nice of Kyle to let us use the clean up crew.
Also thanks @Lotias for flagging. For your own sanity, there's no need to flag all of them, 1 or 2 and we'll see all the rest anyway. :)
-
@tokeeffe9 Haha I just wanted to make sure that you got em all boss!
I am not sure how you get notification about them and so on, but I must say that I felt kinda reliefed when I clicked back to unread and it was all clean! My job here is done :sunglasses: Just like this forum enough to not want it to overflow with spam.
-
I'm new on these forums - is there a way for me to flag them without clicking on the post itself? Not that it really matters I suppose - just an extra click in the end.
-
Thanks @tokeeffe9 for locking things up this morning. I'm scrubbing the remnants away.
