Title: Spammers
Post by: kitkatz on April 07, 2015, 01:16:10 AM

We have been getting spammed lately.  Please report any spam you find on the boards to me or Rerun directly. through PMS. Please do not post reports to Facebook I hate dialysis page.
We have different admins for these pages taking care of things.

Thank you to those of you who have reported the spammers to Rerun or me in the last few days. I spent an hour cleaning one guy's ness tonight.

Thanks Kitkatz for dealing with this. It's so disappointing to go to IHD and see that we've been hit again.

Great job cleaning up the spam.  Without your efforts this great site would not be usable.

I have used the "report to moderator" link twice so far. I hope that's the preferred way. The last two spammers were so blatant that it would have been safe to remove their content automatically (but I don't know what tools are available in "simple machines forum").

Thanks for cleaning it up!

Today I scrolled down to the end of a thread (gardening) and was greeted by spam with a NSFW image. The problem does seem to be worse than it was when I joined just a couple of months ago. Has something changed?

If you see something on the message bards that does not belong or looks like spam please report it to me or Rerun. The spam bots are working hard to hack onto the site and sometimes they can get through.
I am going to be working with someone n an update tt he site so hopefully we can update the spam filters on it.
