Looks like a spam outbreak

wheee! · 09-17-2013, 11:25 AM

Can we not implement a rule that all new members first posts have to be moderated before they can be seen?....

SgtGoldy · 09-17-2013, 11:25 AM

Sooo... any way to get rid of that stupid 60sec reporting timer? I would have went Reporting crazy if it werent for that...

There has been a lot of everything:

Annoying scammer/telemarketer phone calls to my personal and work phone, and I think they spoof the phone number using VOIP services. Half the time the number appears local, but it really isn't.
Tons of spam passing through the filters using random spoofed sender domains affecting G-Mail and work e-mail. IT at my workplace are working hard trying to filter this stuff out.
Heck, even news reports of local scams with someone hanging notes on doors with an urgent message to call some number.
Chaos in this world...

Lots of work for the human moderators. NSXPrime has a system setup such that new members must answer a math question, and sometimes it's beyond 5th grade level.

There's a fairly prolific one running wild right now. Mods!

you need to keep up with vbulletin updates,
check this for an example.
there are A LOTS of exploits out for the vBulletin Version 3.8.4

also if you had updated a new plugin onto this forum, check that out.
