I’ve been noticing massive amounts of spam across the boards lately , too many to copy and show here . noticing most of it in the late night or early morning hours and a lot of it being for illegal and illicit activities . The mods seem to be on top of it ,but I’ve never seen so much of it . banned member using sock accounts ? If so , they are pretty stupid. I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time before they get tracked somehow and hopefully receive harsh consequences for illegal activities .

There should be a way to auto-detect these spam bots and auto-delete them. These are becoming way over the top. I understand this may be easy for me to say though.

I am concerned that an unsuspecting user may accidentally click on one of the spam links and thus install malware onto their device.

This character, andyvotty, has links to spam inserted in both their posts:

I’ve reported both, but the mods haven’t seemed to have taken notice.

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

Jesus, spambots are a nuisance around here, but this cretin really takes the biscuit. 121 posts in all but two subforums. I’m surprised they didn’t spam the announcements too.
