I love how we now have three threads on spam.

Spam spam spam
Original thread...

It would be lovely if the message didn't get so diluted across multiple threads....

I can't believe these messages are still hanging around in the forum....
And now we've have 3 threads about the spam. This is the original though and therefore the best.
 

Oh looks like they may have gone?
But for how long?
 

 
 

Yeah, the spam is in very bad taste!

A classic example of a forum without any real moderators despite many offers from various people in order to strangle this tone lowering rubbish.
A real shame. Unless you want a kitchen. Or a sexy night. Or a voodo doll. Then it's fab.
C'mon cake give a regular trusted member that lives here a bit of responsibility. :-) ...that obviously excludes me :-)

Apparently we need that X3e update so that we have something important to complain about!

I have asked for and received the ability to block IPs and mass-murder spam messages. Obviously forum maintenance isn't my full-time gig, but I deleted about 600 spams over the weekend, and check back periodically.

Thanks for your efforts, Craig. It was quite annoying this past weekend to open Recent Posts and see a page full of Ali Baba's posts.
 
Can you tell us if the spammer is using a consistent subnet, or wildly changing IPs with every new log in?

There are many folks in here I would openly trust to moderate. It certainly relieves the shock of logging in to pages of spam.
