Lexx Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 It has been noticed in the past week that the forum seems to have gained an increase in spammers. The Team would ask members to please use the report button on any content they believe to be coming from a spam account.
Lexx Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Well the one I banned half hour ago had joined an hour ago, posted once which was written in Russian and advertising watches.......

WhackyWill Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Well the one I banned half hour ago had joined an hour ago, posted once which was written in Russian and advertising watches....... As blatant as that..!
Ebized Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hey Al - looks like we have some more spammers ^^^^ More seriously, as Mods can't be around 24 hours and many come on from time zones when we are snoozing we do value reports of potential spammers as we all get email notifications of those, so usually a Mod can deal with it as soon as. 2
glrnet Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I've banned one this week too and we suspect another and are watching closely. On a side note, use of the is also considered suspicious 1

Neilp Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I've spotted a couple over the last week or so! Don't know why its started over here recently. Maybe because this place is getting busier and google is putting us further up there search lists
