Spam in the SS forum

[TMF Jeff]

We've had an unusually busy spam week, and I'm sure you guys have noticed. I just wanted to let you know, we're not ignoring it.

In addition to deleting the spam and killing the account that made it, we ban the IP address that it came from. Unfortunately most if not all of it comes from virus-hijacked PCs and other illegal tools, and even killing the IP doesn't slow it down much.

Thanks for being patient 🙂

Thank you for all your efforts to keep the TMF free of spam. 😀

Ditto from me. I've personally taken out several dozen accounts in the last two days. The bots have leapfrogged the security standards again, so it's going to be busy until the defenders offer a new patch.

Thanks for the patience, and keep reporting the stuff when you see it.

It's back, I'm sorry to say.

 

[Myriads]

Yes it was. Sadly no one took the time to report it.

But I'm making regular sweeps so it's gone.

Remember when spam was just slimy meat in a can?

Thanks for cleaning out the SPAM. I noticed one individual had about 30 pieces of SPAM one morning.

Thank you Jeff and Myriads for all you do. It is appreciated. 😀

I found two pieces of SPAM this early afternoon.
