    Hey guys

     

    So many of you today were “treated” to some highly graphic pornographic postings in various threads. I’ve gone through and gotten rid of them. This has been happening with more frequency lately and Daniel, Matt and I are sorry about that. I know Daniel was working on a way to get rid of it, but I think it’s still in the works.

    If you see spam of any variety–be in porn or anything else–let Matt or I know. Thanks to those who sent me messages on various sites letting me know that I was needed.

    These accounts are bots who manage to tag the threads and then keep coming back. Once I mark the posts, they are no longer visible. Sincerely sorry about your poor eyes and what you had to see.

    Ah, that explains the strange usernames and nonexistent posts in the “…has replied to your message” notifications.

    You’re doing a good job. Spam happens and comes often in waves, know that from my moderating times on other boards and blogs. That was the easy detectable variation at least.

    Thanks for being on top of this, RG!

    I’m in the middle of launching a couple big projects. When I finish, I’ll return to setting up the spam-prevention tool correctly. (Last time I set it up, it blocked 60% of our users and deleted a bunch of valid threads.)
