Barbara Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ooooo I just spotted one but somebody has beaten me to reporting it. Thanks to the 2 members who reported the post. I had to deactivate them before removing the posts to stop them posting any more . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That's what's going to happen now,you know. The mods are going to be inundated with !!!! every time one of these pops up. I can just see Mod HQ with flashing lights going every time we hit !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Maybe we should start a competition -1 point for spotting and 10 points for reporting first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickinboy Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 is it worth entering a Captcha to the posting function? Or even a sum would be easier for real posters (y'know, having to work out what 2+2= before submitting). These spam posts look like they've come from a droid, and now you're on their list, it'll go on forever until there's an automated system to stop 'em getting in. Probably already being looked at - just thought I'd mention in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I must be really dumb, I hadn't noticed anything spam-like, and I had no idea you Mods had all this to do on our behalf. A huge 'thank you'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 It's very, very rare that spammers get through on the large forum I mod on (over 33,000 members) but Admin won't use phBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I must be really dumb, I hadn't noticed anything spam-like, and I had no idea you Mods had all this to do on our behalf. Most of the spammers don't actually get as far as posting anything - so you're not dumb . The few that do usually get zapped pretty quickly and their posts removed. It's doubly satisfying to zap a spammer while they're in the middle of posting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
