Spammers
« on: November 13, 2008, 09:19:17 pm »
Hey All,

 We have been getting a rash of spammers signing up. We're all trying to stay on top of it. PM me if you see one sneak through.

Thanks,


Steve

Steve, you have about 4 right now.  That really is a shame that you take them down right away.  I never get a chance to take them up on thier cheap Viagra  ;D

Scott,

 Thanks for the kind words! I know that EVERYONE (legitimate members) try to make this the Best Site Possible.
I Appreciate all that you contribute to the site!  :)


Jeff,

 Do you need to increase the size of your breasts?
I can forward you a few thousand sites.  ;D
As for cheap Viagra.... You can Google those sites.
If you don't have time,  I can forward a few million sites to you...
One at a time!  ;) :D ;D


Dave,

 Thanks for staying on top of things!
I hate it when work gets in the way of deleting these spammers!  >:( :D ;D
It is getting to the point that I check whenever I'm awake. Hourly, when I can.


 Thanks to ALL our Members for making this "THE SITE" for Legends and Bando info, news, and disscussion.

I used to have a guestbook on my website that I liked a lot, but the spammers would get on there and there would be page after page of crap and it began to take too long to clean it all up so I got rid of the guestbook.  I wish there was some way to stop these a-holes.  Nobody wants to buy their crap anyway.

Last week we had like 5 or 6 on the ban list, total. Today we have over 30.
I guess we were just lucky the first year.

Yeah - I think once they find you, you are screwed.  On my guestbook, once they found it, I would change the name of the webpage and it would be good for a while, then they would find it and post more crap.  Most of the stuff posted on my page looked like it was computer generated - lots of repeating stuff.  Very frustrating.

You guys do a good job at cleaning this crap up.  I'm just dissapointed that I can't look at this website at work anymore because of some of the crap.  (being its City owened computers)  But I will be checking up on the site at home.   I wish people wouldn't ruin things for the innocent.

Joe,

You can probably still get here from your work computer through a proxy server like Kaxy.

The new system that Tom put in place seems to be working.
It's hard for us to determine the spam from the legitimate applicants.
PLEASE fill out profiles. It really does help.

Happy Holidays!
