There's one

Oh BMR made a new mod XD If that hadn't happened I'd probably have PMed him on the MA forums and asked if he could give me mod powers over here too to help out XD (I'm on mod on MA for those who didn't know *shrugs* not sure if you knew =3)

I'll post if I can find anymore =3 Thanks and good luck :D

RE: Updated banlist
 

Thanks for reporting this, gigi. I banned this spammer already, my ninth ban in 24 hours. XD If you really want to be a mod here, PM him and I dont think this is a problem. Also I wont be here during christmas and early January 2011, so perhaps its actually a good idea to have someone else modding this place atm.

Yeah of course I know, you are an awesome mod on MA. Actually Brandon makes me a mod not only because I offered to help out, you will find out in late January or early February 2011. ^^

RE: Updated banlist
 

Why don't all their posts get deleted? They all made such a mess of this forum!

RE: Updated banlist
 

Because when you ban someone you haven't erased their information, so their posts and etc still stay. It appears that BMR hasn't given Hall of Famer the ability to delete posts, which would be extremely useful in this case.

RE: Updated banlist
 

Yeah, just gonna say. When I ban spammers on my forum, I make good use of the "Delete all posts" Feature :P

RE: Updated banlist
 

Because I am only a mod and only admins or supermods can delete threads/posts. Plain and simple, ask BMR if you have more questions.

Here's some more :D Have fun! (this is what happens at 1AM when boredom strikes X3) 'll stop for now and do something worthwhile on my site =3

Not sure if these are spambots but when I hit search posts nothing shows up but they clearly have 1 or more posts

(is it bothersome that while looking through post count order on the Member List that 544/576 pages of members have not made one post O.o if anything a pruner should be run to remove all persons with 0 posts D: )

RE: Updated banlist
 

Thanks for reporting, pokemontrainergigi. I banned them all, and guess I had fun? XD

And yeah, I have zero tolerance against spammers and advertisers, so feel free reporting them if you want to.

RE: Updated banlist
 

Got some more :D

RE: Updated banlist
 

Again thanks for reporting Gigi, looks like you've been trying hard searching for those annoying spammers or bots. There was this user Sekar555 whom I thought I had banned a long time ago, but seems that I didnt. Glad you pointed it out. XD

RE: Updated banlist
 

Just added two myself. The hammer is working well. :D
orafqer and arjunbarbosa banned for spam, now if only we could delete the posts...

RE: Updated banlist
 

Yeah, I should ask Brandon to give either one of us supermod permission to delete threads. These spammers are going crazy...

RE: Updated banlist
 

Even if I'm not posting I dedicate at least an hour a day to online lurking. But we should ask him first.. *sage nod*

Gawd, I can't type anymore... D:

RE: Updated banlist
 

Well yeah, everything will get changed by next January or February, for the better of course. You will see what I mean by then. ^^

All the spambots seem to have lost their banned status during the move D: Oh noes!

Well there's no need to worry about it Gigi, the forum is now hosted on my server and the spambots wont even have access to this new domain. Even if they do, I have my way to block them from posting.

Hall of Famer

Well that's good :D Finally the issue of bots can go away ^-^

Well dont worry, I have installed this 'Stop forum spams addon' on Mys support forum. It worked really well on my pokemon forum, as I had only like one or two spammers in more than a year.

YAY! No more spambots! xD <3

Well a very good reason why BMR's forums were spammed is that he does not enable email confirmation. Email confirmation has pros and cons, I understand why he decides not to use it. It does a good job blocking spambots, but some users find it annoying.

But he also installed it for the MA forums and there's still lots of bots D: It's strange really but we mods over there can only just ban them and hope it doesn't get worst ._.

Different kinds of Captcha codes work well as spambot blockers. Only the most sophisticated ones get past them and they don't usually target smaller forums.

Well it makes sense. MA is a bigger and active forum, but cant understand why RA support forum was targeted too lol.
