Title: Spam Post by: poprockgeek on August 27, 2011, 11:10:38 am You may or may not have noticed that we have been a small problem lately with people signing up seemingly with the sole purpose of posting links to things that absolutely nothing to do with Doctor Who, or anything else under discussion on the forum.
We will are trying to keep on top of removing it & the people concerned, but we ask that you all keep your eyes open too. If you see anything you consider to be spam that hasn't been dealt with let one of the mods know & we'll get onto it asap. Thanks for your help :) Title: Re: Spam Post by: hannahcole93 on August 27, 2011, 12:08:48 pm I did see the one the other day but didn't know what to do, seems you found it now :)
Title: Re: Spam Post by: poprockgeek on August 27, 2011, 12:13:57 pm Send one of us a PM telling us about it, or just do what TC did & post 'Spaaaaaaammmm!!!!' underneath it - that ought to do it ;)
There is a 'report as spam' button as well but I'm not sure what happens if you hit it - I'm going to guess it sends us all an email though as that's what happens when the 'report to moderator' button gets hit :) Title: Re: Spam Post by: hannahcole93 on August 27, 2011, 12:17:21 pm Oh okay :P I'll do that next time! :P I'll press like all the buttons and um write loads of random stuff underneath it! :P Should get your attention! :P
Title: Re: Spam Post by: Nyki on August 27, 2011, 02:46:08 pm We've been having a major attack on another site I help run - over 300 accounts sending spam. Must be something in the water.

Title: Re: Spam Post by: Vampyros Adric on August 29, 2011, 10:04:23 am Hi,
I've deleted the offending messages and warned the member concerned. If it pops up again give me a shout and will deal accordingly Title: Re: Spam Post by: poprockgeek on August 29, 2011, 11:31:20 am Just to let everyone know that hitting the 'Report spam' button at the bottom of the post does indeed let all the mods know of it's existence, so if you see any hit that & one of us will deal with it.
Title: Re: Spam Post by: hannahcole93 on August 29, 2011, 11:54:06 am Hehe sorry I clicked both :-\ I'll just click the one next time! :P
Title: Re: Spam Post by: poprockgeek on August 29, 2011, 11:57:41 am I only got the spam reports.
Glad that you did it because now we know it works :) Title: Re: Spam Post by: hannahcole93 on August 29, 2011, 11:58:54 am Oh I clicked report to moderator too, but I titled it spam... and I wrote underneath it... Know what that button does now though! ;D ;D |
