Wicket Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Lately, Theres been too much spam comin in here, at least three people spaming today in the same format as always for some reason, i think all of these spamers are all friends just trying to annoy us. i dont want to cause a commotion (i think thats what they want us to) but we have to do something about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Its most likely the same guy. There were 3 of those topics in less than 4 min! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Probably the same place, but they aren't just targeting us. Look up their names on the internet, you'll see that they posted the same message on tons of other forums. They do it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yugiohmasta 444 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 wicket you are completely wrong. it is not a network of friends trying to annoy us, thats just silly. there all just bots that are made to sign up and post the spam. nobody would waste their time everyday allday on one forum. they are clearly advertisements, not jokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 The last forum I was on, this never happened. At least not this much. I was only on that forum for about 5 days, so meh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yeah, this is actually the first forum I've been on that had that kind of problem with bot spammers, we had some regular spammers, but nothing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicket Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 well i still say we should do something about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I don't think you can do anything but ignore it. Also, I think if you post in those topics and it gets deleted, you may lose points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yugiohmasta 444 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 i can concurr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well, hopefully those crafty sons of b****** won't follow us to the new forum, it really isn't worth doing anything about it on this forum, when we're so close to moving to the new one (supposedly, come on new forum!)

Wicket Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 weeeell, all right, i guess theres nothin to do but do what we always do and ignore those guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yeah, for the most part they aren't really doing too much damage. Everyone here pretty much knows not to click on the links. Although I do have to give them credit for that new member thing, putting links in their name was pretty clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm just annoyed that these people add to the member list. Wouldn't it have been bad if the 1000th member was one of those guys. All of those points would have been wasted on a spammer. And what about the 2000th member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frunk Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Its most likely the same guy. It's not anyone, they're interent robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yeah' date=' this is actually the first forum I've been on that had that kind of problem with bot spammers, we had some regular spammers, but nothing like that.[/quote'] Yes, same here. Althougth there is not alot we can do about them spamming, it could be cleaned up quicker. With the help of 1-2 more mods, people whom are on alot. And people in different time zones. So mods as work or school, dont have to worry because mods on the other side of the world will be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danilus Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 We are in the process of making it harder for the bots to sign up and spam by using what is known as a Captcha this will slow down or stop automated bots from spamming, although it need some fine tuneing to get the code exactly right. We will probibly implement this when the new site comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
