Looks like a spam outbreak

Trips

All WE need is just (one) person to report it and post "Reported"

This will avoid multiple reports for the same thread.

Once WE get that report we will ban that spammer, and at the same time we'll remove ALL their posts.

We are IP banning all thats been reported, But like again someone mentioned these are "Zombie" accounts coming to life.

All I can ask is to PLEASE be patient as we will get thru this issue sooner or later.

Yes,

What I do is if I see another spammer in the same thread?

I'll Ban that one also so I kill two birds with one stone

Is it too early to declare a victory in the Great Spam Wars? It's been quiet since early this morning. Good job mods. Whatever you did seems to have worked.

Why did they pick this forum anyways?

This is not the only forum targeted. From digging through vbulletin users, they're constantly bombarded with registration requests, and that bots figured a way around captchas. Some of them implemented human things like forcing users to answer several questions and whatnot.

I really feel bad for the mods and admins because this is quite overwhelming.

Thank You for your pms




Just an update

The Spam has been brought under control, Now all members who Have (0) post count will be put in post moderation in which it's getting screened by Staff before it goes live.

So even though you see a potential spammer online creating a thread or in a thread?

They are NOT going to do much harm for the most part, But nonetheless Report Spam posts like normal IF they do pop up.

This change HELPED tremendously, I'd like to Thank AK for stepping in to remedy this issue, and again THANK YOU ALL for reporting.
