Please could you find a permanent solution to the spam going on on this site? This isn't a new occurrence as it's been going on now for about a month. Deleting the spam messages and blocking each profile created is only a temporary fix as new id's are created almost instantly. This is the only forum I know where spammers continue to attack constantly. If you know you aren't technologically savvy enought to find a permanent fix to this then I suggest you seek advice from people who are. This is getting annoying and is making it difficult for us to read meaningful posts and I'm sure many people would agree with me on this. Just saying. Thanks a lot.

Yeah and it makes the site look very unprofessional. Btw I'm not a dude :)


M sorry., didnt see your name bfore posting comment... :) :)
 
I guess their site is hacked and some automated program is posting these.

Why take the pain to post such threads when the admin is going to delete in an hour or so.

But surely there should be a way to sort out the hacking.

I guess their experienced admins already got an LMIA from some MNC ;)
 
This is the only thread in the first page that isn't spam.
 
Or how bout you have patience and be happy that the admin is providing this free service for you. Its not easy monitoring a service like this around the clock.
 
The solution is very simple. It is some automated script which creates accounts and posts endlessly. The site is not hacked of course. The admin should add a captcha addon , the automated script will not be possible to read the image(captcha), after 5 times of failure, the addon will block that IP. This solution will prevent the script from posting and also prevent the slowing down of the website which is caused by sending multiple http requests from the script to the domain.

I assume David Cohen it's self administrating the site. 8) 8) 8) . Every IT guy would have resolved this in maximum 1 day.


Give me a LMIA now :P :P :P
