spammer got thru - pls email me when you see spam!!

14 April, 2012 - 12:19pm - pro

I just deleted about a dozen posts from a now-banned member named "davinox", who was bombing the forum with links to two crap for-pay sites that I won't repeat here. I've already deleted all his fake posts posing as one of us. The only link to his sites remaining is a scathing review in the book review area by someone who got taken in by him about how terrible his very expensive product is.

Puhleeese, when you see something like this, email me! Someone did email me about this guy, but only after he'd been here for months. I don't monitor the forum, so I rely on you all to let me know when a liar gets through (or if there are other problems). In my screening, I only catch the robot registrations. The out-and-out liars I need you to tell me about when they show themselves.

Thanks!

looks like a bunch of spammers got through maybe? please let us know if there's a better way to let you know. thank you!

no more automatic registrations

Someone bombed us this morning. I was hoping to avoid the time it takes to screen registrations, but the time it takes to clean up a trashed forum is worse, so registrations will now be screened.

No one gets in without emailing me a message about why they want access, and just any old email won't do. It has to sound human and sincere to me. English only.

Thank you for your valiant

I just deleted a bunch of porn and kicked the spammer. If you see junk on the site, please email me immediately. 

I'm also on Slack and you can text me there. Someone is using my computer right now so I can't give info on how to reach me on Slack (can't go look at the app), but haribol can describe it. I message with him sometimes.

 

3 posts deleted, spammers banned

I check multiple times a day for spam. It's tedious, but they get through. I deleted 3 posts and banned the spammers.

That is all.
