Maybe the porn is a free holiday gift from John.

Well, now we have friendly spammers, who are using smiley faces as they post their incessant nonsense.

I promise it's not me :)

Lol!!!!

Btw thanks again to the mods who diligently clean up the spam.

So much spam, and it looks like the Colonies/Expansions thread disappeared

And the same spammer is back tonight to junk up more threads. :rolleyes:

interesting, I just gave up thinking about the spam here.... I also gave up hoping that the edit button would come back so IrishPipes could attend to the most important thread on these boards....

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to our new mods and super mods (and the old ones too :) )for keeping the boards looking so sparkling and new! :)

I was just about to say that the situation
seems much better. Thanks.

I'm a little hurt by that. :D

Well, I should have known better than to say anything.

Ha, right? What is happening?! It was so much better and now this? What suddenly changed?

We went to sleep? There is spam everyday. Lately we have been able to delete it before you see it. For instance, it is 5 am edst. I just deleted 18 spam posts from the intro forum. I think it is the beetle juice effect.

Oh, I'm definitely not blaming the mods!

Being in Hawaii and an entirely different time zone, I'm usually awake and checking GC only when almost everyone is asleep. Therefore, I'm usually looking at it in the middle of prime spam time. However, I wasn't really seeing any major spam blasts at night (basically since John randomly showed back up on the site), so I thought the spam issue at large had been resolved, even though there are always posts that pop up here and there. Then suddenly last night it was back to the old ways of too much spam to handle.

Again, definitely not mad at the mods! :) Perhaps there's just been a night owl deleting them all and they happened to miss last night's spamfest?

ETA: notice how the last time anyone really complained about spam in this thread was nearly 3 months ago. And this thread used to blow up every day.

^^yeah, that's me. I'm up all hours of the night and see the garbage. I do appreciate the job the mods are doing to keep us from seeing it.

Game on, LaneSig 😉


(If it makes you feel better, I check your thread more than I check my own)

Opessedey needs to be banned. Don't read threads where that poster is the last comment.

Spammers are at it again ...

They've been at it. There are just more mods now to take care of it. As I recall, they get really bad in the fall because of all the live streaming of football games.

Yesterday morning before 7est, I had deleted over 30. This morning, about half that by about the same time.

I want to thank the mods for all the work you do keeping the board clean! Thank you!!

It's what we do.....and do.......and do. If you watched Startrek TNG I feel like I am fighting the Borg.

The spammers are at it again!
Maybe someone who's off from their regular job on Veterans Day.
Thanks in advance, Mods!

Thanks again to the super mods for the massive spam cleanup. You are appreciated.

The force is strong with the spammers this weekend. I must've deleted over 100 between yesterday afternoon and now. I wish deleting them would send lightning bolts thru the interwebz to the hive to destroy their servers.

^^^^ thank you for your vigilance and hard work!!

This!

I think I only deleted about 50. They've been very sly lately.

lolz! me too.

And the spammers are back! Ack!

I was able to eliminate most of them in "Greek Life" while watching a couple of my undergrads play lacrosse. The spammers really hit today.

Thanks!!!

Thank you Mods for removing the spam.....

You're welcome, :-)

Here we go again! It was nice not having to see this crap for a while.....

Yikes!

Deleted 11 this morning at 6:03.

Thank you,FSUZeta, and ALL the mods for staying the course. It's got to be annoying, having to constantly clean up the mess and also see people complain about the spam that does sneak through.

You are all appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who helped clean up last night's mess. That was a SH*T load of
spam last night.

Yea, I hadn't seen it take over the front page like that in a while.

Oh, the spam! Oh, the dreaded spam!
