Has SR been abducted by a higher power?
 
What's happened?

sleepie 03-31-2016 11:29 PM

You mean that it looks strange right now?

Soberish 03-31-2016 11:39 PM

Hes talking about those korean casino posts that were up a moment ago lol. Guess a mod took them down

zlhzlh, don't ever mimic a troll's post. I banned you by mistake from the title of your other thread. I was rushing to catch all of them. I'm glad I caught my mistake so I didn't leave you banned. :)

I wasn't that quick off the mark!! Actually thought we had a Korean Member !! Then thought he must have had a really heavy night! Then thought possibly a bug !! Gullible at the best of times....but 6am VERY😜

Dee74 04-01-2016 01:05 AM

There's new ones...

Ah well, it'll pass. And it is a good moment to appreciate the moderators for their hard work!

Dee74 04-01-2016 01:45 AM

Please don't engage with the spam posts.
It's spam bots, not real people.

More posts and replies means more work in cleaning up.

Looks like it might go on a while.

Thanks for keeping this place clean Dee (which you do in more ways than one if you think about it). And thanks to the other moderators as well of course.

Sorry Dee, I honestly didn't realize that it was gonna cause such grief!

Dee74 04-01-2016 02:20 AM

I wasn't having a go at you, zlhzlh - just letting everyone know :)

It's happening again guys - we mod bods can't sit here 24/7, so it may be that things will get a little spammy around here from time to time.

I have other things to do tonight. We'll have to bear with the spam until we can sort something more permanent out.

My apologies on behalf of the Forum Teams. We hate this as much as you guys do.

MikeM 04-02-2016 01:28 AM

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

MikeM 04-02-2016 01:42 AM

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.

mecanix 04-02-2016 01:49 AM

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 :)

Dee74 04-02-2016 02:43 AM

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

Anna 04-02-2016 08:34 AM

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.

MikeM 04-02-2016 11:38 AM

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...

:a043:

Fabela 04-02-2016 11:43 AM

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.
