Return of the spambots

[stew42]

In the Other AFL Games thread, where moderators fear to tread, a mighty enemy has returned. Spambots are blitzkreiging their way through that thread like a child tearing a napkin. It's chaos, CHAOS!!!

So, yeah, let's get fixin'  >:(

[kilbluff1985]

yeah kinda funny cause we are dead quiet now :o

I cleaned up the few that were started in the DT/SC board, shame I can't touch the Other Comps board though to help clear it :(.

Lest we forget the spamwars of summer 2012/2013. A time when heroes were made and we conquered the threat of cheap watches.

Is it time for us to gather our keyboards and rise again in battle?

Monty time for action - This idiot has posted 3 times in the Other AFL comps where we have no mods. Either clean up the thread or give some mods rights in this thread.

That was too much from the spammers >:(. Was really annoying as think I was only active mod at that stage with the powers and had exams on same time they came about :P. At least we're better prepared this time, and I'm sure even more of you guys will be hitting that report button if you see more of them! I just really hope it's not the second coming...

Just remember HP m0nty is the only one who can deal with the Other AFL Comps as when I reported it got message no mods found.

[Mr.Craig]

Heads up guys, I just noticed that a guest to the site was printing off this thread. Seems a bit suss.

[Grazz]

Really needs to be a mod in here, we said it last year and here we are again saying the same thing.  :(

[Vinny]

Yeah I feel like the site is falling apart in a way, it's just a mess. So many little bugs and things. :(

[Capper]

Some forum sites dont let you start threads until you have posted in a couple of threads.

This could stifle some of these spammers if m0nty introduced this

[Vinny]

Yeah that might work or even you have to be registered to post and start threads. Would weed out the spammers and other flogs I think.

A lot of people come to this forum initially to ask specific questions, I think it would have more of a negative impact on the site than a positive.

[Capper]

they have started posting in existing threads as well
