flashh4 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Sure has been a lot lately, here ! I banned a bunch yesterday they seem to be persistent ! They keep coming back all day & again today ! First thing i do is check the "View New Content" every time i check in. So i can remove them & ban the poster. I hope this is the removal process & deleting them to the right place ! TT (The Terrorist) says he has to ban them permanently when he shows up, i don't have the power to do that. maybe you have to be an ADMIN, not sure ! But i will continue to do it this way till i am told differently ! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I see the same spammers are here every day ! I guess they are hoping that their account is UN-banned !! They visit my profile every day, i hope they see my Jack-a-lope in their dreams .... lmao !!Just wonder if this is usual ? Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan72 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I see the same spammers are here every day ! I guess they are hoping that their account is UN-banned !! They visit my profile every day, i hope they see my Jack-a-lope in their dreams .... lmao !!Just wonder if this is usual ? ChuckThose spammers make multiple accounts .At g4 forums me and some of the moderators watch for new accounts and if they came from India or China we would pre ban them before they got a chance to spam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flashh4 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 5 new spammers last night, they just keep coming ! Like zombies in the night ! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's not real people. They are spambots. Just keep doing what you are doing and when I get the chance to pop in I'll place a permanent ban on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds good TT !! Hope you are doing better !! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flashh4 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 There has to be a way to stop them, they keep coming faster than i can ban them !! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Some one needs to figure out how to stop these spamers. Another 15 or so banned today ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I just banned a few hundred marked spammers going back to April. Just mark them as spammers and move their posts to the trash and I'll take care of the banning when I check in. I am still dealing with my multiple doctors seeing as how I lifted too much weight that I shouldn't have and tore something in my groin and back. Some day I'll listen to the docs and do as I am told. LOL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yep some how those Doc's advice seems to work !! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Amazing ........ 14 hrs. and no Spammers !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Does Besttechie use a Captcha and confirmation / activation email for new accounts?That generally works. If not, making all but a few of the boards "hidden" to non members will make the board seem smaller and not appealing to them (and the bots will generally just post in the public boards).

flashh4 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 TT or Jeff (BT) will have to answer that Pete, i don't know anything about that stuff !! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baker7 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Chuck: Or they will choose usernames that are easy to spot - either ones that show a company name like livewellfitness, or something that is spammy in its own right.........Luckily, we have good staff here that can get rid of this crap, Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flashh4 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 24 hrs and only 1 flagged as spammer, i think they are slowing down ! Wonder if they get tired of being unable to post & go away, at least for a while. I know they are programmed but someone has to run them !Just some thoughts here !!
