ZemyaSoldat Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Wow, we seem to have gotten an influx of spam recently - I think half of the topics on the first page are from bots. I went through and reported a bunch of them - is there anything that can be done to stem the flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Residualshade Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 ya i have been reporting all of them as well. i don't know if they have moderators in place monitoring that kind of thing yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 They really need to use one of the SMF anti-spam plugins, like this one. I've been using it on a SMF forum for years and it's been very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenalin Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I went through and reported several as well. Anybody seen CuppaJo? We could really use her help right about now. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylas Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yeah, plenty of spam bots for drugs. And not any of the fun kinds either. :( Make Energy Melee Great Again! Join the discussion. Request hi-res icons here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemyaSoldat Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 And I see that a mod must be on zapping posts! Thanks Mod of Mystery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Its because no email authentication to create a forum account. Just wait till the bots set up game accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_NOPE_ Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I've asked to assist, in public and in PM, because I've had a LOT of experience running forums (I created and ran Paragon Unleashed for a lot of YEARS), but the team seems to be radio silent. Probably busy with more important things, like playing CoH! I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably busy with more important things, like playing CoH! or work. lets not forget these people all most likely have 40+ hour a week jobs to do still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrdinn Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I say, we have a new sub-faction of the Freekshow: The 5P4|\/|B0TT3Rs. An upper level type of smucker we can do a smackalot upon in game. (I have been reportin' them as well!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
