BLOODY SPAMMERS

Post by hazrainsuitman6 »

Hello all, this forum has been hit with a wave of spammers selling bloody awful shit and providing links to virus infected websites. I'm getting a handle kicking the ass out of them, but we need your help. When you all visit this website and see a strange username that makes no sense, post in an odd syntax that name drops luxury items that do not pertain to rainwear, and/or does not act like a person, PLEASE use the small exclamation symbol the bottom right of the spam post to alert us to this. We are trying to keep this website spam free and dedicated to rainwear. 8-)

I deleted a lot of spam this morning, but nothing since for some reason. They mainly seem to operate at night (or day time in Europe)

I got most of it. They seem to love peddling Louis Vitton and sneakers. Unless Louis Vitton branches into high priced macs made from recycled leather from recycled Aston Martin interiors or if Nike produces sporting rubber boots, they are not welcome here. An administrator's note, banning IP addresses won't work because the bloody spammers join and post from random networks and the same goes for names.

Making fun of their piss poor grammar and random syntax might be good for a chuckle, but in the long run, headache inducing.

Thanks, Mason and Haz. We really appreciate what you do. I suspect that a lot (if not all) of this type of spam is remotely generated, which accounts for why it makes no sense.

The golden rule is never, ever click on their links.
