Influx of spam

Post by J_Cauthen »

How is this spam getting in here now I wonder? The poster is listed as a member, and Jared has to approve each member before they can post. You can look at these "users" profile and tell they aren't sports gamers :?

Not sure what's going on guys. I have alerted Jared to the issue. All I can do is delete the posts as they come in so please be patient as I am in the middle of getting ready to move and I am busy at work. I will do my best to stay on top of it.

Scoop, how about giving Dan the ability to delete the Spam? The other forums are also littered with Spam as well.

Who would want to spam this forum? It's not like a spammer is going to get a lot of bang for their buck here!? 8O

I deleted the ones in the online league forum which we don' even use anymore but that is the only forum i have mod access too.

I don't think Scoop has the ability to give me better mod access and I don't think either of us can ban users.

This is correct. Enjoy the pr0n while it lasts and hopefully we get it straightened out in short order.

Classic posts and why I will keep coming to this forum as long as it lasts. I just laughed out loud at work in "Elaine with the Pez dispenser" fashion which rarely happens. :) Thanks guys!

LOL... I looked up "Discord" to see what it was... OMG!!?? I am an old fart :oops: :oops: :lol:, but on the other hand, I've been so out of PC gaming since the XBox One and PS4 released, that I haven't been keeping up with PC gaming tools like Discord.

What's pretty funny is the thread Jared created about 10 years ago and all the stuff you had to do if you wanted to become a new member. Wow time fly's.

I think the forum is just letting anybody open an account now without restrictions. Hell I changed my email address 6 months ago and wasn't able to get back in until today.
