Enough is enough. Why hasn't it been fixed by now?The ball is in your court as publisher to fix it.SignedOne of many many members who is fed up with the situation..
I think it's a plot to try and get people to sign up for the insider board. That makes more sense than trying to believe that they find it impossible to delete a few posts on their own board or ban users that have been spamming the site for days.
Doc do you not think we are working on it? As coach says, if it were a quick fix, we would have already done it. We are deleting them as quick as we can. But just deleting users isn't the only fix. They are coming fast and furious. We have added a new thing where all new users have to be approved now by the moderators. We are also looking at making it where new members have to have a minimum post count before starting new threads. Another option is a security question. I promise we are working on this daily.
Well daily needs to have another day because they're back.
About time they add the minimum post count before posting threads. Red board is full of spam threads this morning.
Folks,I completely agree with you that these spam attacks are out of control and must be stopped. I understand how frustrating they have become because they are just as frustrating for our moderation team. I sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience that they have caused our members on the boards and take full responsibility for fixing this issue.This problem is something that we have been working on getting corrected over the past couple of months and we will continue to address it until it's resolved. About one month ago we changed our new member registration to administration approval to prevent new spammers from joining our community and as a result have put a stop to new spam bots registering on our boards. The issue we are dealing with now involves old sleeper cell spam bot accounts that have registered months ago. As soon as those bots are identified they are immediately banned and their posts and topics are deleted.Our moderation team has identified and deleted over 1,000 spam bot accounts already that would have eventually activated and posted their nonsense onto our boards and it's only a matter of finding the rest and eliminating the leftover bots to make our boards spam free. I have been listening to all of your suggestions along the way and just implemented another suggested security option to further protect our members from spam attacks.Thank you again for your patience with these spam bots as we work on getting this issue corrected.PR Patrol
