Spammers... - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #83531 296 posts Started by Bitter
Out of three active mods, none have had time to log in today. I feel bad, they're so far behind right now... I know it'll be taken care of before I get up in the morning, but it'll take some time for sure.

Is it bad that when I see the online users list at the bottom of the forum, I judge unfamiliar screen names and assume that they are spammers?

Edit: Mods, is there any way to ban a specific IP address? I've noticed that several of these spammers always put a specific address as their location, and it's always the same address. A quick Google search of Location: Cherry Street, Room 318 Atlanta Georgia USA 30332 turned up a few other website being hammered by the same spammers, which we already knew. I'm just curious if we can ban the IP and stop a few spammers in advance.

We really could use one more mod, sadly. kindasad.gif

Couldn't browse all day yesterday...was quite disheartening.

The annoyance factor rises when the fix is so simple.
Yep, can't see what's really new. Terrible. redface.gif

Someone needs to get Christian to turn this site over...its falling apart and horridly dated...

But I do have to commend ours MODs recently, when things happen they have been on top of it!

From what I know, its a simple 'delete all posts by his user' button. And I doubt mods have much more access than that, so banning would be out of the question.

It's back to phase getting coomers attention. Anyone called him?

^^ We don't have that button. The mods have to ban the user to prevent any more posting then go through and delete each individual post. They must have been quite busy after yesterday.

we dont have a magic 'delete all their posts button', if we did that would be so much easier.


I don't think I can comment on the ip address blocking situation sorry.

I think atm the best thing members can do is raise the point to a mod if you notice any odd looking names that are online and don't have any posts

Could one of the mods PM me when the clean up is done.

I don't want to backup spam, and seeing there is a bunch going on lately...I'd hate to tarnish the backup.
OMG THIS IS REALLY RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

Most updated PHPbb forums have this feature. Just saying...
Got a new one we can ban before he makes a single post. eyuneyjohn. http://www.6gc.net/members/29503

Edit: A second one. erynnerlynrick- http://www.6gc.net/members/29961

Note the location that both listed. I've noticed all of our spammers put those addresses down. I think there's a third address as well but I can't remember at the moment.

Pedalroom.com, but after we last had a conflict with that website, we learned he really isnt there much either.

Also timmy2's posts (not timmyface) were deleted so his info is not here anymore, anyone save it??

Dan I will pimp slap the **** out of your VW driving ass.
I've considered crying for a bit frown.gif
LOL but really this blows!
It is slowly becoming too much for even the MODS, not trying to talk bad on them but close to 500+ posts need to be deleted and that's asking alot from the nice people who donate there time to moderating our site..

Not sure about everyone else, but it makes me not want to even visit the site. Everything is flooded in spam, and no clue what's going on with anything. Has gotten way out of hand. Also good job on finding all the spam bots. Mods should just start deleting all 0 posts "members". No legitimate person makes an account then doesn't post anything.
