Stop clicking on the spam!!
Howdy, y'all.
While these message boards are far more secure than our prior host's, it is impossible to prevent spammers from manually joining the site and posting their bullshit here.
If you see someone post a message advertising for drugs, pussy, porn, ANYTHING inappropriate to the board, DO NOT OPEN THE POST.
These pieces of shit have added HTML to their submissions to record who you are and when you read the post. If the spam gets read, it gives them a signal that they can send more, and possibly justify recruiting other fuckheads to help them. It also targets you to receive spam from them, forevermore.
I repeat, emphatically, DO NOT OPEN SPAM POSTS. If no one opens the posts, no one will acknowledge them; they will eventually get bored and go away.
I was appalled that our latest spammer got almost twenty hits from y'all in the short time between when he posted and when I nuked him from the site. Do you really want to buy drugs, illegally?
Does anyone here pay attention?
Hello.... Anyone listening?
I just deleted a dozen spam posts, which were read by almost ONE HUNDRED OF YOU!
I asked that no one open these spam posts. Now that almost 100 people have opened these posts, the spammers have a clear message that it is OKAY to send more. After all, YOU ARE READING THEIR SPAM!
Please stop, or the spam will just get worse.
How to navigate the forum?
I'm in the same boat with Head2Foot - I peruse the forum by clicking on the next thread link at the bottom. I don't recall ever opening anything inappropriate to this site, so Boots - thanks, and keep up the good work! What can we do to help in this situation?
Stop clicking on the spam
Thanks Ron. I have a question though, generally speaking how do you guys get rid of spam like that? Block the sender and delete the posts?
