It seemed like things calmed down with the spam for a hot minute.

I at least prefer spammers to bump legit threads instead of making their own nonsense.

We've had major spam/hacker attacks on our university records page...now, in addition to a user name and password, faculy have to click a box that saya "I am not a robot" and then click on pictures that fit a given question, like: "click on all the pictures that have a tree." What a pain, but I'm sure it helps.

Another Thank You

I just wanted to say Thank You to whoever has been diligently removing all the crap spam from GC so it's actually usable. I know it must be a big pain in the ass, and I hope it doesn't become an annoying burden to continue with it if no other spam solutions are implemented.

WTF?! I shouldn't have to see graphic pornography if I open GC at work or in public! Or even in my home! This is beyond ridiculous. John needs to take responsibility for these boards. I'm disgusted.

I don't know what you're talking about, sigmagirl.
Here is an excerpt from one of the messages he sent me (and PayPal) during my claim:

"Regarding the claim that I abandoned my website, GreekChat.com, that is not correct. This is going on the 18th year GreekChat has been online and while I am not active in discussions recently I can assure you that I would not abandon the site/community. GreekChat has not had any downtime that I am aware of and functions of the site continue to run properly."

See? No problem at all and the site is running just as intended.

The silly spam is bad enough. No one should have to put up with outright vulgar spam. There is no excuse for this.

It's filthy. We get hit with this nastiness periodically...there was one of 3 old men a few years ago that I'll never be able to unsee.

Nope, graphic pornography is clearly making sure functions of the site continue to run properly....
