The_Manipulator Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Some may have noticed it... there's a script out there that can 'read' the Invision CAPTCHA's (those hard to read images with letters you need to type in to be able to register). Which unfortunately means we've got a LOT of spam at the moment. So be careful what you open and DON'T CLICK ANY SUSPICIOUS LINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope the new and improved CAPTCHA's will be installed soon and we can go back to some peace & quiet... There's no real need to point us towards spam. When we visit the forum we cleanup where needed. Which means sometimes a SPAM advert can be on there for a few hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Manipulator Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Additional: if all went well, the domain domain_used_for_porn_spam (russian picture host) is more or less banned from being used on this site. It was used for porn spam, so if all goes well at least the pics shouldn't show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

widzhit Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I've received a spam PM now. Any ways to avoid that too? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Manipulator Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 That was something new for us... never had a script sending PM's before... and I haven't found a simple way yet to mass-delete the PM's a user has sent :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geist Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yeah I got a pm from a hot woman who wanted to date me on this forum. For a split second I thought having tedious knowledge about catalog #'s for vinyl releases had become sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
