Y'all are doing a great job. Too bad some jerk is causing so many problems for you.

BTW, notice the smiley after my "sleeping late" comment. Meant to be a good-natured ribbing for being human and having family/jobs/sleep/&c to take care of. Sorry if you were offended.

No offense taken sorry If it came off that way. It's all good :tup:

And Thank You for Reporting :tiphat:

I was removing some of my "Above comment reported" posts and noticed that this SPAM comment is still hanging around: http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...ml#post2498527

Got it

I've been out of town all weekend. It looks like things have gotten worse. It might be time for whatever nuclear option the mods have in their bag of tricks.

They've gone from Chinese/Engrish to Spanish!

BTW, several years back the worst form of SPAM that popped up were random pr0n posts with explicit pictures in various innocent threads. Made this site too unsafe at work at some point >.<

As annoying as it sounds, maybe reset everyone's login status by requiring everyone to log back in with a captcha.

Dude, I thought I was the only one catching this sh1t, these guys are getting ridiculous.

Chuck33079 09-23-2013 12:27 PM

Holy ****. They just keep getting worse and worse. This is unreal.

I'm beginning to believe that the system has been hacked. Someone mentioned (SQL?) injection earlier.

Or maybe they're just persistent little bastards. :shakes head:

Almost the entire New Posts page is spam. This is overwhelming. Fellow veterans of the Spam Wars, I think we're losing ground despite all of our efforts.

dAvenue 09-23-2013 12:47 PM

Yeah, this is annoying. Must be an automated process doing this ****.

SouthArk370Z 09-23-2013 12:48 PM

OK. I'm getting tired of marking all this guy's posts. Can Admin/Mod just mass delete all his comments?

Chuck33079 09-23-2013 12:49 PM

From what I was told, they only need one post reported from each spammer. They ban/delete posts at the account level, so all of the posts disappear when you get rid of the account. I've only been reporting one from each username so we don't completely overload the mods.

Oh no. I've been marking multiple posts for MANY accounts. Guess I'll cut back a little. Thanks for the tip. :tiphat:

Chuck33079 09-23-2013 12:53 PM

Yeah, I was doing the same until AK told me they only need one to drop the banhammer on the account. There's something wierd going on, though, because it just keeps getting worse and worse.
