Good work there, David, @KGIII

 

[KGIII]

I just whacked a bunch of spam posts, all from the same user and/or same IP address.

(I should not be here at this hour of the day. So, bear with me.)

 

[Condobloke]

You are up at midnight !

Only 2PM here

 

[Brickwizard]

And I awoke early today, we are forming a night hawk orchestra

 

[Condobloke]

Peace reigns.

 

[KGIII]

Things appear normal right now. (Now I am here early.)

The only spam I like is green eggs and ham spam!

@f33dm3bits
Marten, I think we are off-topic

spam

 

[Condobloke]

Yeah....spam.....this is getting boring.

I can go to any forum and get this crap

 

[f33dm3bits]

I think we should enable admin/mod approval of first 10 posts of all new users, that way it will be less likely to have a flood of spam like we've been having these last few weeks.

How about the university of Moncton? Euh... Oh my.

 

[Condobloke]

Are you seeing this @Rob

 

[Condobloke]

I am assuming the load imposed by the spammers was too much and the site crashed ?...

 

[Condobloke]

Approx 30 spammy messages in ~60 minutes...approx 1 each two minutes

 

[Condobloke]

Apparently they have better taste than to spam a site that crashes....LOL

 

[Brickwizard]

Late to the game today,they seem to be reducing in number [but i may be wrong, it could be the lull before the storm]

 

[Condobloke]

@Brickwizard, then site went down after an hour or so of the spam, and they did not return after that happened.

Last night the spam started about 11pm my time. i reported the spammers and replied "reported". Then i posted "spam" #129 on this thread to try to alert a admin.
is this a good way to report the spam?

 

[Brickwizard]

is this a good way to report the spam

HB see my post on page 6 #114 and KG's reply, all will become clear [I hope]
