 Re: Major spam attack today
Jerrold39i is dust now. I hope I have enough ammo (battery life) to finish off the last alias.

 Re: Major spam attack today
Everything active has been killed. I hope it doesn't come back. That was about 2000 manual deletes.

 Re: Major spam attack today
Thanks you two so much! Is there anything we can do to help when this happens?

 Re: Major spam attack today
Not much. About all you can do is report it as early as you can.

 Re: Major spam attack today
Boy, now the spammers (bots) are even trying to disguise their spam as actual posts, with links and everything, that look seemingly almost legit. But then, down in the signature, they have the spam. Just found 14, by 4 different usernames, posts that somewhat all fit that bill. (I didn't click one of the "legit" links to see if it really was what the url advertised or if it also led you to their site selling their garbage.) It's a shame that they'll always keep up these tactics without any fear of reprisal.

 Re: Major spam attack today
Can I just repeat what we mods always say - if you find a suspect post, PLEASE mark it as such, to bring it to our attention! SBD and I don't have the time to check through every post on these fora, so if the sus ones are marked, we can go straight to them and deal.
Thanks.

 Re: Major spam attack today
Or we could just convince Sally to give you guys membership approval power in order to spot the obvious fakes?
