Me too. In fact I've only been able to ban one spammer so far, the rest of the spammers I've noticed have been registered for more than 7 days. Maybe it would be better if we could ban anyone with less than 10 posts? Just an idea.
10 posts can be created in minutes with spam. Just keep reporting them, we have ways to clean those that delay in their spam tactics.
I realise this, but somehow I very rarely see spammers with more than 10 posts. Especially since the spam police have been recruited.
Woohoo! My first spammer banned! There were like 9 threads started by him, seems like spammers are back.
Where does one apply to be a Spam Police? ------------------------------------------ You guys... all these new users with 3 or 4 posts, whose posts look like this: "nice game... i like it... great graphics" There's something fishy about 'em.
Yeah I know... I've been banning them, but some of them have been registered for more than 7 days... I know someone else has caught on to em too because I was going to ban one, and they were already banned...
Remember to check people's signatures. I banned this one guy who made a thread which looked completely legitimate, but then I looked at his sig and saw that he was advertising porn. And strangely it wasn't internet porn, he was trying to sell porn on those ancient VHS tapes from the 80s! WTF?
What the heck!?!? That's hilarious (well sort of). Wait just a minute.... It was Echoseven wasn't it? I knew he didn't really want you to follow his Twitter page...
New members with the following nicks: helen t richard t jack1 linda y adams b lisa1 justine m have suspiciously similar way of posting, as Metalcasket has mentioned in his post.
They seem to be targeting the MMO thread, I guess they realize it's not checked often. I've deleted about 20in the last 24 hours. Good news is I think the parrot is gone.
I reported a thread posting a link to their blog and then they posted the same blog link within a game thread, again reported. Nothing was ever done, he's still using TA to advertise it. I don't bother any longer....
yeah, I don't sleep much -- crazy dreams+nightmares -- so I catch a lot too... usually get about 3 a day... sometimes upwards of 10... [on average] it's insane how many there really are.
