Spam

[Lloyd Gordon]

I'm sure you have noticed the increased spam lately. The moderators are aware and are seeking a better solution. Everybody is welcome to report spam (or anything else of concern) either by the report process, by PM or posts.
But you don't have to.
Whenever we log on, we see the spam at the same time or before we see reports or PM's.
And as soon as we see it, we get rid of the spammers and spam.
But the spammers are relentless and often spam when we are asleep or even when we are just not logged on. I know that's unthinkable but it does happen
So try to bear with us as we deal with this. We hate the spammers as much or possibly even more than you!
And while I was posting this a spammer got through the filters and managed to post a spam

The bots keep finding ways past the security measures.

The last time it was offering discount coupon codes.
I’ve seen this mess twice and also notice how fast it disappears thanks to the awesome job of the moderators!

It's stupid fake Temu spam.

We are working hard to keep the spam posts and accounts at bay.
Do not click on their links!

It's likely the same person, the rickmorgandddd is used over and over again, from VPN servers, usually putting one Temu spam in each of the same sections night after night. The other spammer is from India/Pakistan using very similar vaguely Indian names over and over like parvindd and puts dozens of Temu spam in the same section, every morning. Lots of fun.

Actually this am's spamming was fairly mild, maybe about 8 posts. One day there were a few pages to scroll down, maybe 60-70 at once.

And you try and tell the young people about spam and they won't believe you!

No spammers in 2026!
Did the Krampus put them in his washbasin?
Are the bots hungover from New Years Eve parties?
They may be back but in the meantime:
No spam!

The Temu VPN spammer is back. They took a week off for New Years.
