Just me and the spammers
« on: February 13, 2011, 06:57:16 am »
Well, my girl gets up early sundays for work so I am always up, and here I am visiting my fave site and I notice all the odd names that are supposedly on the site right now. Me and 4 names of gibberish. Is this a problem? Do we get a lot of spam here? What can be done about that to tighten things up?

This is our site!

ive seen them as well, most of them aren\'t registered so they can\'t post.  i have inquired to the higher ups who is in charge of accepting new members and as far as Ive been told davepeck is still getting the requests from new members.  i don\'t know the status of how these are being handled at this point... but i have raised the question as well.
Where to next?

How do we know ds#s hasn\'t created multiple aliases!

I only have three or four and I think that should be about the limit :D

generally speaking, a random series of letters and/or numbers for a members name typifies a spammer, or computer-generated member.

ha!  good one
Lois: What the hell?  Marilyn Manson?  Is that who\'s causing all this?  Peter: Yeah, it\'s all him or hers fault.  Who does he or she think he or she is?  Look, you can totally see his or her nipples.  That\'s obscene... maybe.  Lois: There\'s only one thing to do.  Peter: You\'re right.  We got to find this Marilyn Manson and I\'ve got to give that bastard or bitch a piece of my mind or penis.
