Forum under siege by spammer!

Hang in there folks, @Matrix has been alerted. For now just report the spam so Matrix can identify the perpetrators.

They just change their userid, I ignore them every post they make & got down to 4 active posts from members.

Put them on Ignore... it's only like 4 of them

OMGs! I was just mentioning this in @Kaila's thread. Actually used the words, "under siege."

But yes, sheesh, it's a heavy attack.

 

[-Oy-]

CLEAN UP AISLE 3!!!!

Great idea!

Actually up to 9 ignored. They've kinda slowed down for the moment. It was sorta fun trying to keep up with them until my KB battery went south.

What a pain. It’s easy to ignore them. I doubt anyone here is foolish enough to open one.

I'd like to complain about them too... but I also remember the fun that I used to have with
calling up stores and asking them if they had Prince Albert in a can...

Yeah, and there were a few this morning that only posted one expedia spam each, but they'll probably start up again at some point.

My ignores are kept in reserve, if they want to waste time creating userids so be it I'm looking elsewhere on the web anyway. Have fun! My Amazon order will be here on Tuesday.

Same here.

 

[That Lady in PA]

I put NINE on ignore already!

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I am only able to see this many new members, all of which look fictitious or ? so I put them on ignore. I don't know if that offers any protection to our phones, computers, etc, or if bot or spam members (which may not include all of the above) can cause harm by their mere presence.

For safety precautions, the above image is only saved on snipboard and may disappear.

[Edited to change final paragraph.]

And the image I posted has already changed significantly within the past few minutes, making it seem that there is SF management background work going on as I type this. [Hopefully they are being eliminated.]

Thanks for heads up! I just pass on by any topic that is obliviously spam.

 

[Nathan]

By viewing "new posts" back though earlier today I see the spam posts are....gone! Thanks @Matrix!

 

[Matrix]

Sorry for the annoyance. Cleaned up 40 spammers and added stronger measures to block more.

Wow, 40! I'd only seen 12 or 15. Thank you for being on top of this, @Matrix

 

[Pinky]

Thank you for taking care of those nuisances @Matrix

Just noticed quite a few scammers at 4 pm my time …..so in last few minutes ….reported 4 but they are still popping up as I look at my iPad … @Matrix

After we started using Cloudflare, we did get a lot less attack, but the spam registrations are out of control. I need to revert the changes. Endless war with spammers.

 

[Kadee]

There was quite a few in a matter of 1/2 hour or so it must be a headache trying to keep up with them
@Matrix they were popping up as I was reading the latest posts
