Recent Spam

[Snaker]

As many of you may have noticed, there has been a major influx in spam recently, much of it rated X. We are aware of this new problem, and all the mods are deleting threads and banning spam bots left and right to try and control the problem. Other anti-spam measures have been looked into and are being considered for implication.

If you come across any sort of spam in the forums, just ignore it. A moderator will be along shortly to clean it up; as we have over twenty mods on our team, it should be handled quickly. But above all, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS IN A SPAM POST! Some of the spam that we've come across contained links to viruses. Clicking on any link from an untrusted source here may result in you getting a virus, so it's safe to just leave it alone, unless you trust the person giving you the link.

yeah ive been seeing it alot of spam lately, its ridiculous.


I was thinking, do you think it might be all the same person, or no?
and if it is, cant u just block their I.P. address so they cant even go here?

[gmgsci]

I tried to report this Porn Spam, but my the button didn't work.


Happen to anyone else?

We've checked into it; every spamming member is from a different IP address.

I don't think we were aware of that, but it's just another glitch in this version of the forums. The new version is coming before too long, don't worry.

[mcwattersm]

The spammers are probably spam bots.
Although I am not entirely sure why they are targeting us, where SB:C has nearly double views in a day as we.
But yeah you don't want to click it.

[crazy_dave]

Good call mate. Heed by this wise mans words. As ever tempting as it may be, Britney Spears porn videos' aren't that good.

[China Skate]

Yeah I'd like to include that these links have a good chance of giving you viruses, which are bad. Also, if you watch too much porn at a young age, you'll end up like me.
I find myself deleting these spam threads everyday

An online Asian Detective?

[China Skate]

Yes you could say that

[skateblank714]

it all started since MTV came here looking for someone to be on their show.... damn MTV. but yeah dont click on the spam threads

[Mr.42]

You members have been doing good on reporting stuff lately. Keep it up.

And yeah, don't click any links.

Plus, they don't exist. I'm glad Firefox prompts you before a download begins, haha.

Do we have word verification to join these forums? I can't remember.

I don't think they're bots. I think they're just bored people... Bored people being sent from other, inferior skateboard forums. Los bastardos.

[Bakerbum211]

2 spams today.....

[Freaky Styley]

I'm pretty sure their bots. Same shit is going on in a lot forums. Attack of the Vb I guess. Some forums have already closed up.

The Mods and Interns have been working real hard. Taps to them and the users who report!

Peace.

You're welcome.... i reported alot of them.

[SkaterBrett]

I hope that all of this spamming goes away.

[skateblank714]

its better if you PM a mod whos online (theres bound to be one) than to report it, because if you report it, you have to wait till one of us checks our email...

[Mr.42]

Man, 12 reported posts since I got offline Friday... dang.

I check my email as soon as I connect to the internet. The spam has usually been deleted by the time I get there. Big ups to the neighborhood watch!

[SkaterBrett]

I just reported another spam.

[Mr.42]

Haha, there's somebody currently attacking us with spam, and I'm on his tail deleting it as soon as it pops up. 2 so far. I know who I'm voting for next intern election.

[crazy_dave]

Yeah you guys are helping just as much as we are. Special thanks to gmgsci, brett and adiobird.

Between them they've seen about 20 reports to me. Thanks guys.


I should check my mail more....

But i just see em on New Threads.

[gmgsci]

*Plays Rocky Theme Song*

I've seen a whole lot of spam going on on many forums, is this some current thing?

[Bakerbum211]

I guess we'll have to get Norris in here.....

[gmgsci]

I'd rather get Sylvester Stallone or Bruce Lee.

[Snaker]

No. Charles Bronson.

[gmgsci]

I changed my mind, I want Stephen Hawkins to build us a spammer-laser.

[Freaky Styley]

Email activation of new accounts in set inplace. See if that puts an end to this.

[Mr.42]

If not, it will still repel people like Mr.Spitfire who feel the need to register as ten different people.

I only saw one thread when I woke up and logged on. Let's hope...

[SkaterBrett]

Who are you voting for next intern?

[Skaterscafe]

Turn on image verification, that will weed out all the bots and will help you a BUNCH, I checked and it's turned off.

vBulletin Options> User Registration Options> Image Verification

Also, under user banning options block all these email domains;

@cashette.com
@web.de
@mail.ru
@ankyl.info
@freeservicemail.info
@freefreemail.info

[Mr.42]

There were no reported posts when I logged on this morning. No spam in sight. I think it's helping.

Who are you voting for next intern?

A little known candidate name Nunya Asswax.

hahaha, I'm just playing.

Yesterday around 4 I deleted spam thread
It's working though.
:)

[Mr.42]

I just zapped three reported by Bryce.

It's better than logging on to find 12, like it was before.

[Ramprage]

Ok, new registrations will be prompted with a random question that should help cut down on the amount of fake new registrations we are getting and spam.

[Mr.42]

I don't know what it was, but something is working. Probably everything.

No punk bots in sight.

hooray

[Ramprage]

Glad to hear the spammers have left us!

[Snaker]

Indeed, it's waaaaaaaaaay better.

[gmgsci]

I miss those fuzzy little guys.

[Bakerbum211]

I miss those fuzzy little guys.


They weren't fuzzy, they were sharp evil douches.

[rodneymullen123]
