SPAM Attack

Post by Sean Lemieux »

Hey guys, I just got done going through most of the spam that came in over the holiday weekend. If anyone is still seeing something missed, please give me a heads up.

Thank you!

Saw that, what a mess, they must have tried to run a script, must have been a whole page and a half of new spam topics

Thanks Sean.

Sneaky little buggers must know when the holidays are and people'd be offline. I usually check in at least once a day, that's why I reported it.

Only upside to spam is it keeps the forum active. :D

Sean..,
Great job! By the timing and volume of the posts it sure looks like it was a script. I'm glad the board suffered no damage, but unfortunately, this is probably a unending problem :???:

Hi Guys, I did get all of your reports but did not reply to each one individually. I was getting dozens of reports so I figured the time was better spent sorting and getting the spam under control. Thank you for looking out!

Page 4 before I get to the end of it. That's over 150 individual spams. Mr. Bot was busy. At least its by the same poster, so the deletion should be fairly straightforward.

Go get 'em Sean!

ARGH!!!!

It's bad enough that I get Phishing attacks on my home phone line, and even my cell phone.
But this is just all out harassment!

I may have to go off the grid, just to get away from it!
