Issue with spammers

[EveWasFramed]

As everyone has likely noticed, there seems to be a LOT of spammer accounts created in the past few days. We've banned almost 20, just today. There is no need to report any spammers for the time being, as we are handling them as quickly as possible. Some of the moderators aren't on in the early hours (US-EST) so you may see a buildup of spam threads until we get on and clear them up. Thank you for your patience.

What's a US-EST, is this some kind of heathen pagan time?

 

[EveWasFramed]

Only in the South.

Otherwise, that United States, Eastern Standard Time.

I am following the situation. If the problem persists I will look into adding an anti-spam plugin (ie. Akismet)

akismet comes stock, just click the button to turn it on

There's more spammers listed as having birthdays at the bottom of the index screen than actual members.

there are plenty of plug-ins that could reduce/eliminate the spam

you would think the higher-ups would be right on it when the spammers are posting picture-links of gay male on male porn in the general discussion section, lol.

idk.

The issuse is being addressed by the owner of the site, according to a recent PM. Nothing else to be done.

Spell spam backwards it spell maps ... find a map and gives you the wrong direction then your lost just like the people that send spam to my email. Lost in the money regime to make from me Its all balls anyway to send spam to a person that reads the internet like a holy book was written. Make money from the web sure good bet put the bible and errrrr other book togtehr you have another old method. I guess even the holy book such as the bible might be amap to follow but at least some sucker didnt send it my address. I read the bible and believe some stuff in there but like an email from a person with a christian name it doesn't mean you can make money from becasue you have the same name.

Fixed and activated Akismet plugin on the forum. This should significantly limit the amount of spam done.

Also notice that this plugin will automatically ban users being caught multiple times trying to spam.

Minor news: also installed a SEO plugin

Fingers crossed! Forum spam is the worst kind of spam.
