I mentioned this in another thread, but obviously nobody has taken a look. phpBB has a good spambot program. You may want to look into it. Either that, or you really should get stricter policies. This is getting extremely annoying for anyone who keeps an eye on the board. There are several people of whom I know have offered to help. I have offered, but have heard nothing from anyone. That doesn't really make me feel any better about this board. People are offering. You should at least tell them whether or not you want their help.
Anywho, here are today's suspects.

The culprits are Erdickder, Anedmojoder2, and Poencetardder. I mean really, who cares about Angelina Jolie anyway?
Edit: We've got another one.

You know what really sucks about this? I know some of the ones on preexisting posts already have one of these perverts in them.

Erpo27 - which I had a feeling was another spambot.

You know, in the time it took me to copy and past this, I could have easily taken care of them. I do have experience with forums.

It would be nice if this was all for today, though I kinda doubt it.
Seems I was right, and only thirty minutes later. Edit x4 (4:02pm est)

jynx76-
I know that this is getting frustrating for everyone, but unfortunately, we're doing all we can do right now. Due to circumstances I am not going into on a public forum, for the moment, the only ones with the ability to do something like appoint more mods or purchase additional spam blockers and implement them on the site are not able to do so. As soon as things calm down in the real lives of our admins, we'll see what we can do. Other than that, please bear in mind that most days at least one of the current mods spends literally hours (voluntarily, might I add, none of us are getting paid for this) deleting spam-bot accounts and their posts. I personally spent almost three hours deleting 134 spam accounts that had been registered in just the two days since I had last removed all of them. We're just as frustrated as you are, if not more so. We're doing everything we can, so please don't think we are ignoring your suggestions. The only thing we can ask for is your patience, and hope that everyone will stick it out with us until things get better. |

Thanks, Jackie, for at least letting us know that something is going on. I know now that they do still care. I understand real life gets in the way. I just want to help. I'm willing and able.
However, if I'm being too much of a burden I will voluntarily leave. |

Jynx,
I did not mean to imply that you, or anyone, was being a burden, or to offend you. I know I probably am coming across as a bit bitchy, and I can only ask you not to take it personally. It's the forums and the spam problem and my general helplessness when it comes to the problem that is making me frustrated and cranky, not you. I just want everyone to understand that we're not purposely trying to ignore anyone's suggestions, and we do understand why everyone is getting annoyed, but we are, at the moment, powerless to do anything to fix it.
To be honest, I worry most days about people leaving, for multiple reasons, and I don't mean to chase anyone off. I'm just out of ideas on how to improve things at the moment, and for now, we're extremely limited on our abilities to do much of anything.
Again, it's not you or any of other 'real' member of the boards that's making me angry or annoyed, and I am sorry if you thought that was what I meant by my previous message. I guess I'm just permenantly frustrated these days, and apparently that comes out more in my writing than I'd realized... But please don't think I want anyone to leave--if I did, I wouldn't bother spending so much time trying to keep the boards at least remotely tolerable for the people who use them.
Jackie |

Looks like Abademdelem42 has already been reported.
Thanks for getting rid of the ones we had earlier. I still haven't gotten any replies on some of my posts, but at least it's my name that's out there (which might mean something to regular SH readers...and then again, maybe not... ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |

Cleared!
Things Learned:
1. Jennifer Lopez apparently gets around.
2. Some bloke's girlfriend is a total slag . . . and he wants us all to know about it.
3. Visit website=instant credit rating increase. Score.
4. Masturbation! It's what all the cool kids are doing.
5. Returning furniture to IKEA is hard work, yo.
6. Jennifer Lopez still getting around . . . A LOT.
7. Gamers really do have too much time on their hands. Shocking.
8. Google is still God.
9. SH apparently stands for 'Self Help'.
10. Not only does that chap want you to know his girlfriend is a total slag, but now she wishes you to know too -- with pictures and video!
Also, I'm not quite sure what 'pusy' is, but I'm quite convinced that I've not contracted said affliction. Although, I am developing a sniffle. Never fear, however, with all the free drugs, free healthcare and like, should have no problem recovering from dreadful state quickly. Also, now that have been made aware of all manner of free things on internet, such as (but not limited to) free books, movies, magazines, porn, games, reduced home mortage loans as well as tips on improving credit rating, am now quite flush. Excellent. Can now spend all of my time at the online gaming casinos.
In all seriousness, sorry for the overload of spam recently (even worse than usual). I did have some real life matters to attend to, but I figure that it should stay clear for at least ten minutes or so and thus allowing me to make my great escape. If I deleted someone's legitimate post in my grand sweep of the forums, I apologise in advance; however, as my eyes are currently bleeding, I have to admit that I've all but ran out of tears to weep for you. |
