Hey Brad - Porn Spam - How to Stop it
 

Brad

Porn Spam would stop happening if you started moderating users.

Click on the IP - if it wont resolve, DONT ADD THEM

Oh - and you are like 2 full versions behind on VBull!!

I know a guy who is very good at vbull and is reasonably priced.

You can probably get fully updated patched for less than the cost you paid for the license.

PM me, I'll hook you guys up.

The porn posting has got to stop! The pictures are getting more and more graphic. We are at the point where there should be an age restriction of 18 or older to access the forum part of this site. If something isn't done to stop the disgusting pictures and links, the FBI has every right to shut this site down indefinately.

Larks made a good suggestion for how to stop spam. Another suggestion: if we keep banning these spammers, will they not run out of email addresses to activate a new account?

I think at the very least we should appoint a few trusted members of the forum to delete any spam material. What is to lose by doing this?

It's pretty obvious what the spam threads are, so just don't open them.

And how do we verify this? Won't the spammer's (spam bots) just learn to click on the "I'm over 18" button / birthdate buttons?

Reference please? My guess is that most spammers operate overseas -- may we should ban all non-US addresses?

Agreed.

Yes, because there's a very limited number of "email addresses" available.


Isn't that what we have now?

OK guys, no one hates the porn stuff more than me. :mad: But Bob is right. It's obvious from the titles which things are porn sites and which aren't. So ... don't open them. I know, I know curiosity is a big thing... and we all are tempted... but if you don't open them you won't be disgusted by the filth and vulgarity. I'm sure the moderators are as sick of it as we are so let's get behind them with good ideas on how to stop this stuff and give them our best support. Lets all act like fellow officials and support them rather than acting like howler monkeys and blaming them.

I've upgrade the board, so hopefully that will take care of the problem for a while.

That's awesome, Brad. Thanks. Hope it works.

*Awesome*? That's so 90's.:cool:

Cowabunga dude! Thanks Brad!

The FBI shutting this place down? Hmmm gotta keep an eye on those Feebs... ;)

Dude. To say "that's so 90's" is so 80's. :rolleyes:

Regardless of the affect on spam, I like the changes.

I agree, the multi-quote tool is rather nice.

Fantastic upgrade, Brad. Thanks!

Ha! :) :)

Well, the upgrade hasn't stopped the spam completely (there was one posted just this morning), but it sure has gone WAAAAAYYYYYYY down. Thanks, again, Brad.

And, too, has that poster.;)
