Why are we getting spammed?

[FADE2BLACK_1973]

Been seeing it lately more and more. Just wondering......

[J-P]

why? That's because what spammers do. Those idiots might think that the posts actually get overlooked.

[FADE2BLACK_1973]

Hmmmm, I thought this site could block spammers. That's why I asked..lol

I haven't noticed more but I've also been insanely busy with school. I know a few others are quite busy as well. We did have spammers blocked but removed it because people that needed help couldn't get on and post quickly (which is very important to us). So, we're back to manually dealing with spammers. My guess is that you're seeing more because staff aren't getting on as much as previously.

I've been in Disney over the weekend. Lots of catching up to do. Just be sure to click on the Alert, so I see it.

I'm on 6 atv forums and it's been the worst I have ever seen. Had 178 post in 10 minutes on one.

Flutter, I understand alot of the mods and admins have been busy lately. Spam is very sneaky, mainly late at night.


PP, I will alert them when I see them. Btw, did you have fun at Diseny?


Anouthernewb, I have seen more spam here then anyother site lately. But like Flutter mentioned that other real people could not get passed the spam blocker.

These are real people. The bots are blocked. It is a copy and paste job. I think these guys and gals are doing a top notch job of keeping the bots out.

[FADE2BLACK_1973]

Oh the real people doing it and not the bots here. Gotcha

[Pufferpunk]

I think I've got most of them off now.

[FADE2BLACK_1973]

I come in here really late at night and been noticing them posting alot lately. I guess, mainly on the late night shifts. Well glad you got most of them, PP

Yup. I'm on pretty early a lot of days and sometimes catch some fresh spam. I don't visit many forums these days, but this one seems to me relatively spam-free. Kudos to the crew here on that!
