SPAM replys to my posts

Postby TimC » Thu Feb 24, 2022 10:49 pm

Anyone else experiencing SPAM from someone with the handle below? I'm getting multiple posts with hundreds of links to brand names. I've used the "Foe" tag on them. How do I report this to an Admin or Moderator?

Just checked the "New Posts" section and my first question is obviously answered. Can tnttt do something about this?

I just went through and tagged all of his posts (that I could keep up with).

I seriously wonder if this isn't some desperate Russian spammer trying to get his click money before the banking links freeze him out. Seems too slow to be a machine. :thinking:

Admins, this fellow needs to be turned off!

And it continues...

I can't help but picture some twenty something sitting in his parents basement getting his/her kicks filling up servers with bulls%#t. A sad life indeed!

typical forum bot.

they're bigger problems on more popular forums and social media sites, but they're pervasive on the internet in general.

my minuscule blog gets comment spam from bots trying to share links all the time.

Heh. Quite prolific.
One of the mods just needs to delete the user's post history. It will all go away.

Tim, there'll be a lot of this going on across the net.. probably get a whole lot worse over the next few days.
For now I went in and unsubscribed to my postings I watch. I'll just pull them up on the build pages.
Stay safe, David

Don't worry about him too much, guys. He'll be back. Maybe not next week, but sometime, under a different name, he'll strike again, and this will start all over.

Gotta love these "instruments of progress". :roll:
