Spam!!!

Unread post by sex_is_not_the_enemy »

Is it just me or have I noticed some growing number of pesky spammers on this site?

And if they are actual spammers, is anything being done about it?

Just something I thought you should all be aware of {up}

Hi sex_is_not_the_enemy :D

You're not the only one noticing this spam on the forums.

All moderators and admins on the forum do their best to have this spam and the relevant user removed ASAP. However, given that we're all not on here 24/7, and that each moderator only has moderator privleges in certain forums ... we can't remove every single bit of spam as it appears. It takes a bit of time.

I would suggest to anyone who notices this spam to click the ! button on the top right hand side of the post to report the spam to the moderators of this forum ... and it will be removed at the earliest possible time. Additionally, you can try and PM the relevant moderator of the forum to have it removed - but this will only be effective when the moderator next logs onto the forum and notices the PM.

Do not click on any links that they may have in their posts or in their signature. You don't want to be stumbling across something you don't want to see.

We're always trying our best to reduce / eliminate any spam on the forums, and are working towards stopping such spammers / bots from being able to do so in the first place.

I'm glad that we have people who are doing all that they can to make this forum even better, and free of spammers... They are the worst thing that internet has to offer in my opinion.
Over 2000 successes!
And about a half for the charity too! :)
