phantom Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Spent over a hour getting rid of spam this morning. Steve, if you ever check up things please add a couple more moderators. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 I went and got another coffee, more new spam. Keep on banning and erasing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Sorry to hear of the work load. I’m a moderator on another forum (Don’t want to say in case the spammers are reading this 😆) and I guess we’re pretty lucky. 2 or 3 hits a month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Easily over a thousand this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Oh crap! I just saw a quickbooks spam as soon as I went back to the main page. Sorry guys… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Yeah, got another coffee, and 10 more, buddy needs to get a life I have real stuff to do later today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Right now I am just listing every new guy as a spammer as they join the forum. Hopefully I am not banning REAL people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Yeah, I just reported a couple more people. I haven't seen it this bad in a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Da SWO Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I help mod a page on FB. Ban hammer gets swung often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lockheed2004 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 We need more moderators, or the site owner needs to take a more active roll. Is there not a captcha requirement to register a new account? Seems like a simple method to at least weed out some of the junk applicants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Damned if I know. I know nothing about computers. Just been erasing every new person as a spammer this morning. Must be near 50. Well over a thousand new spams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Oh gosh, just opened the email my ARC membership uses, 294 unread, spammers are a blight on humanity. Gonna take a while to empty the garbage and my defective body already has my hands swollen stiff and hurting. Edited May 24, 2023 by southwestforests Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alternative 4 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I'm happy to be a mod and delete spam if required. Being in New Zealand the time zone difference may be of benefit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eraucubsfan Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 If you were a mod on a group build, you got it, that’s how I did Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Is it 2 clicks to delete all the spam now or has it gone up to 3? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffryfontaine Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) The General Discussion Archived Topics just got hit with another SPAM BOT a couple of hours ago.

When you know nothing about computers and there are several hundred, Its a lot. When I moaned about the big rush of spam it took several hours to clean.
