gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted September 18, 2016 So from what I can tell, someone is using a spam bot on the forum. I have just got done banning the accounts that were missed, and removing all of the spam(Over 50 posts between 5 accounts in the last hour in multiple threads.) Due to this, I am asking the community here to report it as fast as possible, and if it is missed by the moderators, please flag the accounts, which every user has the right to do. If this causes a non spam account to get banned from posting, feel free to PM me, and I will unflag your account, pending review of the posts in question. Thank you. Sidenote: It might be smart to start by changing passwords, as at least 1 of the users whos account was used, is a valid person based upon previous posts. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted September 19, 2016 I dont think that Thorz is a spammer, as I have seen quite a few valid posts from them. The rest, I have never seen before. I do like how the people who liked this thread post are on the list of people who have spammed the forum today. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr.Gonzo 392 Posted September 19, 2016 "Thorz" ?? Is that me you are talking about? I did not find any other user named "thorz".I did not post any spam. I had different Browser Tabs open with Spammers. The User Thorz were in between these tabs with your Spamming Report.I don't look very closely. It was my mistake. @Swizzy Its the same Spam Protection System, we used it on Homebrew-Connection.org ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And promoting piracy, as the links were to different pirate video sites. Dont worry, they got banned also, not just for spamming, but also for blatantly promoting piracy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
