AdyCarter Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Sorry about the insane amounts of spam (again) and the lovely new PM spam... Im working on more new and exciting ways to stop this but annoyingly these spammers are humans and as such it makes it difficult to create any form of coding to keep them at bay. If you see a spam post, please hit the report button, dont post "ZOMG SPAMMER" in the thread as that really isnt any help, if you recieve a spam PM please forward it to me. Im incapable of deleting other peoples PMs so I do apologise that some of you will get these junk PMs even though I've deleted the spammer. Im IP banning every spammer and doing DNS lookups to ban hostnames too if they are something uncommon and dubious. Again Im sorry about this but it seems popularity brings its problems.

Amazing.JL Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I've not had any spam PM's yet, so it's obviuosly hit and miss. T. Thankfully I have not as well. I was quite surprised when hearing about it. It's difficult to filter out spam on any system, so I feel you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 If it makes you feel any better, most of the major boards I go to have been having serious problems with spammers. I think some one just gave Decepticon grade weaponry to a terrorist organization determined to take over the world with spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
