Topic: SPAMMERS ATTACK!!!

Hey Mr. Moderators and Technical folks,  as much as I love porn, I don't come to Chordie for it.  I've noticed a whole lot of pr0n related SPAM that looks like it was autoregistered.

Please to be taking a look.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Chordie is not the place for porn.

Re: SPAMMERS ATTACK!!!

Yes, there has been plenty of spam and porn spam lately.  Apparently, chordie has grown large enough to attract the unwelcome attention of the internet bottom feeders.

The best thing to do when you see a spam posting is to click the 'Report' button to help notify the moderators and administrators.  We can 'carry out the trash' and ban unwanted users.

Those of us who have the authority to de-spam the forum do it as quickly as possible, but sometimes the cyberturds will be there briefly until one of us scoops it up.

Just don't click on any of the links in the spam postings - that only encourages the scum.

Re: SPAMMERS ATTACK!!!

James,

We may have to get filter or close this site to guests because thats where most of the junk is coming from. Just a thought.

Bootlegger.

Re: SPAMMERS ATTACK!!!

The forum is now closed to unregisterd guests - that will lessen the spam storm somewhat.

HEY EVERYBODY .  . ..Please click the 'Report' button when you spot spam postings - it really helps us keep the vermin out!

Re: SPAMMERS ATTACK!!!

Hi James,
First time I see the term Cyberturd. Just wanted to know if you have a copyright on that or can I use it. Fantastic term.
Keep up the good work as this really isn't the place for that kind of solicitation.

Re: SPAMMERS ATTACK!!!

Michel, you are free to use 'cyberturd' in any manner that seems appropriate.

What do spammers call themselves?  They probably don't introduce themselves at social occasions like, 'Hi, I'm a spammer!"  So, what euphamisms might they use?

Do spammers get spammed?  Do spammers receive spam, but think it is informative and helpful information?  Do spammers acquire higher and higher levels of spamming proficiency . . . is there a spamming black belt?

These and many other questions do I ponder whilst scooping, bagging, and disposing of Cyberturds.

Re: SPAMMERS ATTACK!!!

Hey James, this is a problem, worse than cocoroaches, in dutch it is named kakkerlak, you have to be so careful these days, spam here, spam there, spam emails, these are the worst. If I should react, and if it should be true what they write, I should be lying under the Carribean sun. Once I was victim of identity theft, 50% my fault, on eBay, it is linked on a special email and every single thing concerning eBay appears in My eBay, but just one second of not paying attention, problem.
Spamfilters or not, I receive mails, even the person who should receive it, his name is not mine and yet I receive a mail. HOW TO AVOID SPAM? The person who finds a real good solution will drawn in his money.
