Mods- keep on your toes! I have deleted probably 13 posts so far! They are not coming as guests, but are registering, and posting stupid topics-with nothing in the post!

Don't respond- just delete!! Thanks all,I have to get off in a sec..karen :D


Sorry guys, I can't hold the fort down any longer... It's Saturday night and I've got places to be. All in all, in the last 1.75 hrs I've probably deleted about 200+ spams.

Hope Mike doesn't come back from his trip and find that spam has taken the site over ...

Just please don't reply to the spam; leave it alone and a mod will come by to delete it.

I think it was a bot/program of some sort that was able to create new user ID's and then make posts with that user. In a way, by deleting the spam we might have been deleting evidence where it came from ??? But I'm sure there are system logs that Mike can go look at.

Maybe Mike can tally up a high score and tell us how much spam we all deleted :)

Thanks for the wonderful piece of work you guys have done. I was shocked to see the system logs at the first time. Their had been regular influx of spams through their automated software during the weekend. When I logged in the morning today, I found almost all were deleted and taken care of very nicely. I really appreciate the good work and managing everything so nicely.

The pattern used by the spammers this time is very tough to stop. They are not using a particular IP this time. I will have to do some coding after studying the pattern very thoroughly. I want you all to have a peaceful stay on the board and the way these spammers have caused nuisance, I want to stop it. I will try my best and keep you updated.

Again, thank you everyone for being such a valuable part. It's the support that matters the most.

Regards
Mike

I think the way everyone moved quickly on this problem proves that everyone here is a comitted family member :lol: . Although sometimes we all don't agree on everything :? , we all agree on one thing and that is to get rid of that junk those spammers are trying to shove down our throats and stick together.
