Spambots have breached the walls.
« on: April 08, 2015, 01:06:18 AM »
Given our method of preventing this I'm surprised they managed.  But now it's shitting all over the place.

I don't suppose anyone knows how to contact the mods or admins?  I'm so used to being admin over on my forum I admit I was ready to go delete everything... oops, right, wrong forum.

This is the 2nd one I've noticed in as many days, but there have been more in at least the last 2 months (check the light gray members in the members list)

This one is active now, but no mods. I've been reporting one post per thread it's posted in.

Report one as soon as you see it. Reporting the same bot more than once isn't necessary, as we'll just remove the whole account as soon as we see it. The team's currently thinned out a little due to real-life stuff, and it looks like both of these got in while I was offline for maximum spamming time. I'm waiting to get a hold of Prime to discuss a more permanent solution; until then, report bots as soon as you see them and otherwise carry on.

And we should prolly start making backups as well

Edit: In case things go sideways we should have a plan in place on where to meet, and how to contact one another.

I posted an off color note of a Cyrillic spam, back on March 19.  Clearly I didn't follow protocol.

Anybody notice the New Poster spammer?

Perhaps Solo and the guys at ruleofcool to the rescue again? 
They were awesome the last time.  Yet another opportunity to say thanks.

Those forums are semi-dead. Maybe they'd welcome the mass influx of new blood.
