Are there NO MODS in here??!! SPAM IS KILLING THE SITE

[crazyed27]

Ok Guys, first let me apologize for my absence, I was in the hospital for the past 2 weeks and just got home today. When I saw this thread I immediately called Jaz and told him something needs to be done immediately to fix this. The last time I was on the forum I spent 4 hours getting rid of spam when i could have been working with you guys on what we are here for Penis Enlargement. This place is starting to seem more like Matters of Spam than Size. The first thing we will be installing will be user verification so when someone joins they will need to verify a word to continue to register. There is also some new technology Jaz informed me of that some forums are using that he will describe to us tonight. We will get this problem dealt with.

Posted by DLD on 10-28-08 _____I am seeing this spam issue first hand. Today I spent an hour and a half banning and deleting new spam. I will ask JAZ what we can do tonight. Possibly approving new threads from users may be the only action we can take. Catching these guys at registration seems to be impossible. I just glance through each forum 8-10 times a day and try to catch it as it happens. We will get it under order, I promise.

This thread was started by 8incHydromaxike on 8-13-08. That is 3+ months and you never saw this thread? Outstanding!

Also you knew that there was a spam problem a long time ago dont act like this is the first time you found out about it. The last time you posted was on 11-13-08 and that was last thursday, 8 days ago not 2 weeks ago. Dont blow smoke up our asses DLD. I get enough of that from the company I work for. Nobody needs that from a place where you can let your guard down and discuss the most private information about yourself.

You need to light a fire under Jaz's ass and make him move and correct this problem, that is unless you no longer care about the free forums?


Posted by Threak on 10-4-08_______The new CAPTCHA feature has been implemented and I'm still removing several Spam a day if not a few dozen at times.

Spam is killing this site.

No unapproved posts for new members, moderators must rewiew the first 10 posts to a new member before he post without approval that might help this mess.

I was in the fucking hospital and I could not do a fucking thing. The spam issue now is much different than it was 8 days or 2 weeks ago or whatever. The spam issue has become an automatic posting issue with no registration required. I am doing what I can today if that is not good enough than fuck it.

We need cool heads now, you guys. God love you all. This too shall pass. I'm glad you're out of the hospital, DLD. There's been so much shit going around. Times are tough--jobs drive us crazy--if we have one.

Let's take a long deep breath and step back for a moment. We're all doing our best--and that's good enough.

We have such a great group of mods here. Let's all support each other. We all mean well.

 

[DLD]

OK, I have set up word verification which will stop any normal spam-bots from being able to register which will cut down on most of the spam. The next step is finding out how un-registered users are posting. Just called Jaz and he will call me back.

Wisdom is flowing out of you here Horse, Thanks for that, (taking a deep breath and relaxing)

I just tried to register and the word verification seems to be working. If another mod could log out and try to re-register to see if it is working for them it would be helpful.

Do what you can and continue to do what you can Mike that is what is important here. I'm sorry that you were in the hospital and am happy that you are recovering no question. Even if it take months to combat the spam issue it was well worth it because it will save your website.

Us mods just need to know that something is really being done about and that hard work is in action to rectify all of this and make [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] a more productive place. If mods are spending all of there time cleaning spam then Penis Enlargement knowledge from the vets will be limited.

Mike, my main concern was anybody doing anything about this, as long is the admins are searching for answers then I have no complaint. All I ask is please keep the mods informed on the status of the progress of this project.

Word verification worked for me too.

Awesome! I bet that will solve most of this issue.

Lets just keep our fingers crossed on this. If there is anything I can do to help you just let me know Mike.

I think it may solve the problem. I was mistaken on the un-registered posting. It was after I deleted the threads that I tried to ban the user and I think when all the threads were deleted it made the user a non-user. My fingers are crossed. I also look forward to Jaz's new suggestion on this software he was telling me about.

Improvements are always something to look forward to, and get excited about. That way your comfort level stays level.

 

[DLD]

MODS, keep an eye out on any spam that appears over the next week or so. I think we have solved the problem but there are still a bunch of members that will need to be banned but we will not know until they post as they were never banned.

 

[crazyed27]

Got my BANNER GUN loaded!

 

[goinfor11x7]

Thanks, they are banned.

 

[FoM]

Um.. Yes! The spam here is horrible.. If I only I could have a sword as well *Nudge*
I'm joking! Congratulations Mike!

 

[irafreak1]

Smelyslella is a new one. Is it helpful to post the names here or is this just cluttering up the forums?

Posting user names is a great idea. Please post the names and subforum location of the spams.

 

[stillwantmore]

Well, we mods FINALLY have the power to delete/move threads. That helps big time. rofl

Mike I was not trying to be dramatic over this shit but was feeling overwelmed everytime I loged in. I dont mind banning 4 to 5 spamers when I log on but 20? Wow!!!!!!!!! If this shit ever pops off again I'll PM you with ideas and concerns instead of making my rant public. I see the Mod forum does not always produce results.

Threak=======You the man, thanks for your understanding of what I was feeling instead of chopping my fuckin nuts off man!!!!

We did it [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have received worse strife than that, don't worry, nothing really pisses me off. You were justified in your anger as I was too...spam is a nightmare but I think we stopped it. I also noticed now that I solved this we are getting a lot more traffic and activity on the forums.

 

[irafreak1]

Bonnan is a new one. They're getting "trickier" I guess...

 

[DLD]

Bonnan is now shanked

 

[irafreak1]

If we can get on em quick, they'll learn it's not worth the effort.

 

[FoM]

You must be getting them pretty quickly, because since I have become apart of the Mod team I haven't seen any spammers.

Few try at this point. We can make the security here as strong as we need.
