No need to apologize. I know the team already gives 110%.

I see there's 5 spam threads currently.

If you, the moderators, feel comfortable with it, I can help out a bit. I'm not at the pc all the time, I just stay logged in. But I could have deleted those 5 threads.

So if you're comfortable temporarily giving me the ability to delete threads, I can take care of the Korean ones when I see them.

I tend to use the report post button , the triangle one to the left of each post ..

I only do it once per "breakout" as i guess multiple reports would just mean the mod's inbox will get full pretty quick , then I don't engage and just ignore em ..

If i reply to a few real posts the spammy ones will drop off the front page :)

Thanks for the offer Mike but that's not really an option. As it is we're kinda falling over each other cos there's so much of it. :)

Thanks to those who have reported things - the good thing is this spam is pretty obvious so it's not like we have to look for it.

Well done mods good job guys

I think this is going to take patience from all of us. Even when a Mod is here, it's very hard to keep up with the spam.

I have contacted the site owners and asked if there is anything they can recommend for us to do or any way they can help out, but since it's a weekend I think we may have to wait until Monday for a response.

Isn't there a spam filter for forums?

Ariesagain 04-02-2016 11:42 AM

What's the new one, Arabic?

Hey, we might as well learn something...but I still want to do this...

Can't wait until they try Norwegian!

Anna 04-02-2016 11:51 AM

Yes, we have a Spam Filter and this is the first time we have ever had a problem of this magnitude.

I copied it into Google Translate and it was still incomprehensible. Hopefully they will get bored.

Coldfusion 04-02-2016 09:19 PM

Uh oh, they're back--and I don't see any moderators.

venuscat 04-02-2016 09:20 PM

I reported one of the posts...honestly, spammers are such pains.

Upward2Enlightenment 04-02-2016 09:21 PM

I know that I reported it so hopefully one will be along soon

Dee74 04-02-2016 09:25 PM

I'd ask again you be patient guys. I'm usually the only mod awake at this time and I can't sit here 24/7 :)

This must be getting old for you now Dee, congratulations on your HFT (high frustration tolerance) haha

Dee74 04-04-2016 09:52 PM

Looks like another wave of spam.

Please be patient while we do what we can, with the manpower we have :)

I'll be back in an hour or two :)

venuscat 04-04-2016 10:05 PM
