J4MES OX4D 10,034 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Spammers are out in force today! This could also be considered spam.. Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2560-spam/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah, I flagged two this morning before I left the house. I just saw that there are two more reports right now. It's been getting worse lately. I guess due to the ad block issues Dave talked about. Hope it gets sorted soon! Edit: I just killed the two new reports. If you guys see them, hit the report button right away! Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2560-spam/#findComment-61826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I know I deleted at least 6 threads yesterday and flagged the name number of accounts. not sure what the deal is, I will kick Dave here in a minute though, I think pookums is still sleeping Also, I just bounced the two that are sitting here, but I didn't see any reports Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Sennex 1,903 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Our Spam monitoring service is up to date, but the license is expired. As that costs money to renew, this is definitely a Dave issue Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Plumbers Crack 4,062 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 If it costs Dave money and there's a limited revenue stream at the moment, I say purge 'em once in a while...they're quite easy to tell and don't seem cause too much grief Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2560-spam/#findComment-61837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddums 4,346 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'll change up the sign up process when I get time. I have no idea how they're getting past the question, might hafta look in to that. I can't afford the renewal right now. Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2560-spam/#findComment-61841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsinOwl 644 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I reported some with Tapatalk, but it gave me an error message. Did any of you mods/admins see my reports?

BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Deadums/Bart, either of you guys know why it takes so long to flag someone as a spammer? It has been taking 3 or 4 minutes before the process goes through. What's the deal with that?

TigerBurge 2,375 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Deadums/Bart, either of you guys know why it takes so long to flag someone as a spammer? It has been taking 3 or 4 minutes before the process goes through. What's the deal with that?I was wondering the same thing.

Sennex 1,903 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The deal with that is that I have no idea. As soon as you click the link, the user is flagged, the refresh is what takes forever, and I never dug into it to heavily. You don't need to wait around for it to cycle. It is marked as soon as you click it Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 So we are now getting spam in the status updates. I just deleted/flagged one that had zero posts, but had a spam link in his status update. Keep an eye out for those. I don't think you can report them, so just say something in here if you see one, and I'll kill it.

TigerBurge 2,375 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 With all the spam we are getting as of late and Euan being about worthless as a mod do you think we can get another mod or two to help squash these fuckers?

Diddums 4,346 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sure, who's up for it? Euan is as useful as a knitted condom. Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2560-spam/#findComment-63660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbers Crack 4,062 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Could we do something with the places on the page that used to have ads as well? First thing that people see when they hit the forum section is a bright white space with the words "The web page cannot be found" which isn't very welcoming.....if there is a chance we may get ads back why not put a place holder in that says " Space held for our new sponsors" or some other BS Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2560-spam/#findComment-63664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsinOwl 644 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I can help if you want, lord knows I've reported enough of the fuckers. Do you guys get the reports I send from Tapatalk? It gives me an error message sometimes. I bring some baggage though, so if you'd rather fresh blood then I completely understand.
