Pangloss Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The spammers have just gotten RIDICULOUS here lately. I thought the membership might get a chuckle out of seeing what their forums look like to the staff these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimbicLoser Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks for all the hard work, guys, gals !! ('ve been there, no the trouble...esp. [at least for this area] the Chinese spambots) Keep it up ! Thanks for giving us a little to laugh at. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Are they bots that make these posts? Or are there really people who spam forums like this for a "living"? On my blog (on the SFN blog thingy), I also get twice as many spam comments as normal comments. And I have to approve them first - so it doesn't reach anyone. All so pointless.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 You can also enable the Spam Karma 2 plugin in your admin panel to save you the trouble of sifting through all of it. As for their nature... I think many of the bots are human. I've adjusted the registration page several times to make it difficult for bots to register with no human help, so they're at least getting help there. Some spammers also seem able to spam with relevant-seeming comments, whereas others just open loads of threads. So perhaps it's a mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
