Who cares if some of us are using the wrong terminology. Is there a word for people who correct others on their computer lingo? PC Nazi? I think we can all agree that the SPAM is annoying.

Well, hacking is much more serious and implies that site security s lacking.....

Spamming can happen to any site.

Just close down these sections of the board until permanent solutions can be put in place.
 
Yeah...they should be able to post in any section though. Other topics got hit the other day, there's no current reason that they'd be barred from the likes of Marvel, DC, Aliens & Robots, movies etc. Not that I want them to start spamming those sections :lol

Yeah sorry I used the wrong term. Spammer is the correct term. :duff

There was a lull from the spammer idiot today but it seems like they are back. :gah:

DD is he just going to sit on his a## and do nothing about this spam :pfft:

Not sure but I think a lot of the freaks will probably leave this forum :lecture
 
Is this spamming automated somehow or is it a guy who is actually taking the time to set up multiple accounts and specifically post each one of these thousands of threads? If the latter, even with copy and paste, jesus......

This needs to be addressed already. It's like no one is in charge of the forum

I thought Dave already "left" months ago.

I get the sense that Sideshow cutting ties was the straw that broke the camel's back.
 
I've seen him logged in fairly recently. From some of his postings though I don't think he even likes his own forum anymore so I'm not sure how much he cares about this happening.
 
This is ridiculous. Damn spammers! :gah: I see they have resumed proceedings in the Introductions thread :slap
