stopping the spammers

It's not stopping the nutjobs.

The religious discussion the other day were pretty interesting.
I'm fine as long as no one promotes WD drives.

 

[LunarMist]

There was another spammer today. Maybe the newer forum software is more popular in the spammer's search engines.

I have about 300TB of the WD helios drives. Is there something wrong with that?

No Lunar, I don't mind. WD is probably as good/bad as the other manufacturers these days.

We need a cleanup in the news forum, bring a mop and a bucket there's spam all over!

Thanks, I took care of them.

Thanks, I took care of them.

You've got another one.

 

[Stereodude]

Two more today. It seems we've shown up on their radar or something.

 

[LunarMist]

The Chinese are at it now.

 

[LunarMist]

Gang of Spammers are at it again.

 

[Handruin]

I already deleted them. Same IP and person.

 

[Stereodude]

I was a little interested to see how it was going to play out, but thanks.

 

[Handruin]

Me too but they were posting too much and I didn't want to have to deal with it later.

I thought you would chime in with sarcasm

I contemplated it, but had some actual work to do.

So the newest one (I've seen) is at least confining him-/her-self to the Folding Folder.

 

[LunarMist]

I think it is a random instigator without a particular reason for any forum section.

 

[LunarMist]

Now German and Spanish.

 

[Handruin]

I got rid of them, thanks.

 

[LunarMist]

I seems that there are multiple new accounts created. Russian spammers?

 

[Handruin]

Could be true. Lots of accounts get denied throughout the days that you don't see behind the scenes but some get through unfortunately. Thanks for flagging the one that got through
