What are those weird posts with numbers etc?

[Spaze]

I think every mod should have the ability to delete threads regardless of jurisdiction.

and if any mod abuses that right then they should lose mod status.

It looks like they are trying to attract people who use search engines for keywords like love problem solution and city name.

+91 is country code for India

Specialist Baba Ji Pune......what a name

[Doctor Amadeus]

Hang in there. I'm sure the Gen Discussion mods will start hammering at them shortly.

I'd at least start deleting them if I could, but we actually don't have moderation powers outside our "jurisdictions."

Dude I am talking to this African Prince I am going to be RICH!

Interesting because 91 is also how you reach an outside number from an office phone.

Tell him that iam still waiting for his princess daughter to marry me when the cheque clears!

[Echocho]

Maybe implement one of those "I'm not a robot" things when creating a new account. This is getting ridiculous, it's not even spammy it's complete nonsense.

[Faroth]

Looks like we've gotten the bots infracta-banned. Looks like there were two. Hopefully we'll have less spam now and those can start dropping off the front page.

Not sure which mod nuked 'em, but yay!

They are annoying! I understand we (Europe) are in a different time zone, but please do something about it. For how long this is going on now, more than a month? If I click on the "What's New" button in the menu above, the first 8 (probaly even more, stopped checking after this page) are for 80% full with those spam topics. It really brings the quality down of such a great website. I expected you guys would have dealt with it way faster than this.

LMFAO he's got a daughter?

Can you think of anything that also stops TennisAce from creating threads ?

[Spaze]

there are still new posts -.-

[coprax]

Why would they want to attract people to mmo champ? Are the spammers financially involved here and get something out of it?

[Faroth]

Noticed that. I reported it. Looks like they got one and not the other.

[Deleted]

They don't gain anything but in their head it's probably self confidence, self approval or whatever and believe me, that's enough to unleash hell.

They could at least be more imaginative and funny, even though it's not funny at all

[Nihilan]

I asked Baba Ji black magic man for love advice in the last thread and a mod locked it before he could solve my problems. Am disappoint.

[Duckypoo]

They are the result of the board owner unwilling to impose any posting restrictions for new accounts.

I actually emailed him about it. There are restrictions in place. However they are easily over come by a person before they set up the spam bot. Keeping a board free of spam is a monumental task. I moderate another board and it cam down to every post from a new member being set to having a moderator approve the post before it is seen by anyone. After 3 posts were cleared from moderation that poster was free to have thier posts seen by everyone with out need for moderation. It was a shit ton of work for me and my fellow moderators, but it ended up working. Sure a few still get past but like I stated, it's a ton of work. Especially for a site that doesn't have many moderators.
