We had a Michael Kors invasion several years ago and it was awful. I posted in the Mods Forum that it would be great if we could set up GC so that every time someone posted "Michael Kors", a fist would come out of the screen and punch them in the nose.

Seriously, idk why any of these spammers think we would want the things they're selling.

Sister Havana 07-22-2015 05:31 PM

I see we have another monster spam attack today...

By the way... does anyone know where I can get some Michael Kors stuff?

I was just wondering the exact same thing! I felt like greek chat was the perfect place to find MK stuff. :p:p:p:p:p

thetalady 07-22-2015 07:43 PM

And many, many thanks to whoever cleaned up the overwhelming spam attacks over the last few days!! It is very much appreciated!

carnation 07-22-2015 08:27 PM

Three cheers for moe.ron and Ninja Poodle!

Appreciate the clean up they must be constantly doing. Seriously.

tinydancer 07-23-2015 12:15 AM

^^Absolutely!

ColdInCanada11 07-25-2015 09:59 PM

Apparently the spammers really like Michael Kors...

tinydancer 07-26-2015 02:44 PM

62 posts from Charleset and no sign of stopping? He deserves worse than banning. Not sure what that would be.

HQWest 07-26-2015 03:22 PM

Anybody even speak enough Russian to know what they are selling??? 😡

Pingyang 07-26-2015 04:24 PM

This is absurd... Google Translate says they're selling flights, from the titles of the threads?

And he's still going ... just about 1 per minute ..:mad::mad::mad:

Dixie_Amazon 07-26-2015 05:37 PM

At this point I am missing the Michael Kors spam.

pinksequins 07-26-2015 05:44 PM

Sigh. Just say nyet.

ColdInCanada11 07-26-2015 06:12 PM

Literally every minute- mods, thank you for what must be never-ending patience

Benzgirl 07-26-2015 06:18 PM

Spam is so bad that Google Translate keeps popping up.

AZ-AlphaXi 07-26-2015 10:46 PM

Still posting once a minute .. thanks for cleaning up all his spam but is there no way to stop it?

tinydancer 07-26-2015 10:54 PM

There is a way to stop it. Other sites do not have this problem. We just have an owner who does not seem to care.

navane 07-26-2015 11:39 PM

John has been logging in; so, I'm not sure what his deal is on this one.

I never thought we'd see the day when HPRL would be a viable alternative to GC. I think that day is rapidly approaching........

HPRL?

FSUZeta 07-27-2015 03:09 PM

Happy pony rainbow land.

LAblondeGPhi 07-27-2015 03:34 PM

Since most of the spam problem seems to be in the introductions forum, is it possible to get more moderators there? Or maybe a rotation of folks? I don't think I could commit as a long-term moderator, but I'd be happy to commit to a month of spam-fighting.

AZTheta 07-28-2015 09:31 AM

22 threads just counted.

JOHN - are you ghosting us?

Or is there a way to omit the introduction forum from the home page?

Dixie_Amazon 07-28-2015 10:42 AM

Looking better now. Thanks!

thetalady 07-28-2015 11:25 AM

Here we go again.....

NinjaPoodle 07-29-2015 05:52 AM

Those of you who moderate other forums, are you able to see ip addresses? Send me a PM. Thanks

Let me clarify :) Are you able to see IP addresses on your moderated sites?

I have GC bookmarked to here:

http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/

I don't look at the Introductions forum. Forums with new posts are in BOLD so I know to go there to see what's new. I only see the spam when it makes it past the Introductions forum.

ASTalumna06 08-27-2015 12:32 PM

My new favorite spam title:

Filling gallon milk jugs to take home to flush toilets

Seriously, though..... So. Much. Spam.

AZ-AlphaXi 08-27-2015 12:58 PM

I kinda (not really) like the black magic in every country on the earth posting.

AZ-AlphaXi 08-27-2015 01:39 PM

and thank you to whoever cleaned up the current spate of spam

AZ-AlphaXi 08-28-2015 12:46 AM

Oh man this new round of spam is the wildest ever!

Thrillhouse 08-28-2015 12:51 AM

They tagged the community service forum over 30 times and are now on to the introductions page

ChioLu 08-28-2015 01:44 AM

Astrologersk170 should die 10000 deaths.

xibair 08-28-2015 07:55 AM

PLEASE MAKE THEM STOP!!!

This is worst than a headache hangover.

LAblondeGPhi 08-28-2015 08:59 AM

Good lord - all of those posts with the mixed caps feels like a 14-year-old is texting me from 1999. Uggh.
