  4. You guys better do something about jefferyy12, he's flooding the board with thank you for your post. Because of that, he is bumping old threads that shouldn't be bumped. Just to let you know.

    Too bad we can't do anything about members posting about 200 crappy apps in the sale forum.

    Why can't you?
    It is pretty obvious that the person is creating a post for evey crappy game he can find in order to increase his post count. Why is that not considered spamming?

    It's only spam if they're reposting the same thing over and over - there are tons of crappy apps, and if some poor soul wants to report each one that goes on sale, then that's their prerogative. We can only hope that they acquire some taste and start posting only news about better quality apps. ;)
     
  8. You got another weird spammer in the lounge tonight, Labixiaoxin going on now, he's posting thank you for your post stuff in tons of threads... Fyi

    Money28 also seems a bit suspect. Copies the first post from a thread and adds a link to runescape gold on the end

    If you guys can mention a thread they're in, that will help.

    Hitting the "report" button to report threads is infinitely more helpful than posting in this thread. :p

    The spammers are getting far more clever.

    Sometimes if you see a post from someone with say 3 or 4 posts which seems to be a 'repeat' of an earlier post, click quote and you'll see theres then some HTML with an invisible link, like a white .gif and a link to a website.

    Clever way of spamming sites for search engines. I've reported a fair few but like i say if you see one which is either a repeat or broken english do a quote and see if theres an invisible html link in there.
