New Spammers...

Fix.it.again.Tony · 05-21-2012, 07:58 PM

These bots have been infiltrating the forums a lot easier...what's going on? Is there any talks on increasing the login difficulty to prevent this?

I am sure it might affect vendors and revenue if it continues to overrun the forums.

Del-sol-john · 05-21-2012, 08:12 PM

I've noticed it a lot lately also. Was wondering when someone was going to make a thread about it. It's very annoying.

Fix.it.again.Tony · 05-21-2012, 08:25 PM

It is either some users on here, or the signup requirements are so outdated that idiots and spambots can join no problem.

***theAngryMarmot*** · 05-21-2012, 08:48 PM

There are probably plenty of ways to fix it, however it would require the people who have the ability to fix it to care enough to fix it.

Fix.it.again.Tony · 05-21-2012, 08:49 PM

I'll give them tree-fitty

I actually just did the update that prevents this BS on another site I manager. Works like a champ.

Dude... What the fuck..

Rzarectah · 05-22-2012, 12:08 PM

The Punisher · 05-22-2012, 12:13 PM

No reason to worry about it Joe Schmoe, I don't have access to update the system or it have been done already!

All_Hail_White_Powa · 05-22-2012, 03:24 PM

You must be a true faggot if all you post are faggots. Gtfo

I think this guy is somehow trying to make a statement that he hates the admin, but I think he more likely has made a statement, that he loves the cock.

Since we are on the subject of spam, those that post in a spam thread should get a ban for a short time due to the fact they bumped the spam thread back up. Maybe it's time to close new registration until someone "cares" enough to fix it.

^i agree even though i do it lol!

Awwww Dang. That's where I can sometimes be creative but you do bring up a good point. Why bump a Spam Bots thread.

***taggart_lumpy*** · 10-08-2012, 11:38 PM

I tried looking to see if I could access the registration requirements earlier today. no dice.

What? To report it an email is sent to all MODs about the thread and a link to said spam thread is in that email too. No need to bump it other than to be more annoying than the spam bot. Just report it and let it fall to the back. End of story.

MODs since you can't currently fix the problem, so can we go with bans for those who post in spam threads. Some of the major post whores even agree with it.

***taggart_lumpy*** · 10-09-2012, 09:27 AM

They have been getting banned as fast as they come on. Well trying to at least.

Im going to give BigC a jingle today and see if he can look into it further.

***theAngryMarmot*** · 10-09-2012, 08:20 PM

How about we ban everyone that is complaining about the spambots?

Especially when it is quite obvious we are all trying to ban them in a timely manner, and the ability to change/update the site is in none of our control.

lol.
