The Spam-Bots are KILLIN me, son!

[honeychile]

AMEN!

[SydneyK]

GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

THESE DAMN SPAMMERS ARE RUINING MY MORNING COFFEE.

[SWTXBelle]

PLEASE - may we have more supermods?

[carnation]

Is anyone friends with SAEAlum or James on Facebook? Might you have a phone number?

I suppose we could all PM John and ask.

I would vote for DrPhil, but that's kinda like letting the wolf guard the henhouse.

I just sent NP a Facebook message (it showed she was on): GC is under siege from SpamBots! Send help soon!


Hopefully it's SuperMod to the rescue!

Actually, if we thought she would actually do it, it wouldn't be a bad choice - not like she's gonna get offended and go on a banning spree like many other posters we know.

We have four supermods, which is plenty. The degree to which they wish to participate in GC has nothing to do with anything.

Meanwhile, please, please, PLEASE stop the mindless bumping. Like Jen said, at least if you see "penis enlargement xoeijoiuf" you KNOW it's spam and can skip over it. When you see a real topic at the top, you think it might have....real new responses. It's wasting everyone's time to do this. There were something like 3 pages worth of "bump" posts yesterday, which was probably worse than the actual spam situation it was intended to remedy. STOP. CEASE. DESIST. NOW.

This is an ongoing issue that we're dealing with. For those who have been around awhile, the administrator has taken several major steps in curtailing spam. First, the Supermods, second, the introductions page has been pretty good at filtering out a lot of bots.

The discussion on how to improve things is ongoing. I don't think we've seen the last of our remedial measures against Spam.

Raise your hands and holler. Seriously people, it'll get fixed. Chillax. Use that adorable little bar on the right side of your page and scroll down. If there's crap on the first page, go to the second. It's not rocket science.

Putting the spammers on ignore works when there isn't haphazard bumping to get in the way.

I just put the most recent spammer on ignore and his threads are all still there.

I can't help but wonder if this method of advertising works at all. I just can't see it being effective.

Same here, the ignore feature isn't working on this one.

I also wonder the effectiveness of this junk. Just doesn't make sense.

GC is free. I'm sure we can scroll past the spam until they've had time to check in. Supermods have lives outside of GC, too.

Liar.
