Gaybutton Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Gents, Spam software has become quite sophisticated and today, for the first time, this message board seems to be getting inundated with it. I request that you do NOT send PMs to the moderators informing us when you spot them. Believe me, our eyes work too and we will get rid of them as soon as we spot them. It's pain-in-the-hind-quarter enough getting rid of the spams. There is no need to add to the difficulty by sending us PM's telling us about the spam posts. It's clogging up our PM mailboxes for no reason and then we have to get rid of all the needless PMs too. I request that you send us a PM about a spam post only if you've seen it sitting there for twelve hours or more. If it remains visible as long as that, then we've missed it. Quote
Gaybutton Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Congratulations to Stef! Stef is in Pattaya and we spoke today at the beach. Without revealing trade secrets, Stef was able to make an adjustment to the message board program that seems to be working to stop the spam from being posted. Since Stef's adjustment, no more spams have appeared. It will probably stay that way. However, we'll still be on the lookout for them. Quote

I was banning Ip's and deleting some of the stuff to realized that more have had appeared once the page was refreshed. I understand the frustation you had when it first appeared. I hope the adjustment will keep the spam away. So far so food Quote
