Porn Spam invasion

[Alan]

Last night we were invaded by a porn spammer. I think I got rid of all the messages. If I missed one, let me know.

I saw that, dangit, didn't have a chance to follow the link

I have been spending hours deleting spam and porn links on the boards I moderate.

What a pain. It is automated, so there are always ten or eleven posts. Usually three new topics - which are easier to delete - but then the rest are scattered among old posts. That brings the old post to the top, where somebody may reply to it, and that causes all sorts of other fun.

I sure don't get how these people make any money off of this behavior -

maybe you could set up a separate forum site for the good porno sites.  You could even include pictures of the time Chas was locked out of his house

Exactly what I saw.  Did you ban IPs?  I'm sure they shift, but perhaps we should share IP addresses?

That was a funny story but I don't think it came from Chas...damn who was that naked man running around the house...

 

[Ruby]

Wasn't that Stuart?

Wmccall,

[Bonibelle]

I think the naked man was Drewski...pretty sure it was

 

[xrdirthead]

I think the naked man was Drewski...pretty sure it was

Would the real locked out naked man please stand up.....

 

[Brewman]

I think the naked man was Drewski...pretty sure it was

Care to share how you know that?

 

[Alan]

Wmccall,

<--------new car?

Yup, picked it up Tuesday night.  Don't have any good pics yet, other than cell phone cam.

 

[Bonibelle]

They are back this morning Bill...

I remember Drewski telling the story and I was still laughing even after I was off the computer..I am almost sure it was Drewski...
I don't know how we can find out for sure unless he confesses... ;D ;D

 

[MostlyLurkingGal]

ohhhhhhhhh thats a real purdy car ........wtg!

 

[windsurfdog]

Indeed it was drewski...and his neighbor across the street liked what she saw too!  

 

[Bonibelle]

Thanks Windy...It's good to know I can remember some things  ..although that is mostly NOT the case!

Seem to use multiple IP or anonymiser sites.

We ban the member, but that is a waste of time really.

I've been looking at it and your right.  When they do hit, it seems to be several messages right away, so I did turn up the repeat post timer to a minute, hoping that doesn't inconvience the proper users too much.

Yes, I noticed.   It is a pain to sit here waiting for 120 seconds to click by.

I guess I can just slow down a bit.

Very nice. Typically I don't like blue on cars but that shade sure is purdy.
What do they call that color?
Lookin' forward to more pics.
