Default The First Spammer

Well I knew it would come eventually but we got our first round of spamming today. I have deleted the 3 or 4 threads that were on mobile phones or something but that does remind me that I will have to announce 1-2 mods in the near future.

I suspect I will announce mods around the time I announce the winners for the December 10th Prizes. I will probably PM the individuals directly and then if they want the position they can accept or reject

Anyway will keep you posted!

Congratulations on getting your first spammers. That's means you've hit the big time, right?

Yes, that's a positive sign

What's more worrying is that one of us may have directed them here indirectly.


Damn their oily hides...



BFN,

I didn't know how much of a time difference there was between here and there. Have a good night.

Oooooh spamming; good or bad makes for good publicity (depending on how you look at it).

^^ Hmm... I didn't think spam was good in any case. It is true that it attracts members, but the members it attracts will most likely just be more spammers.

yeah Curor unfortunately spamming can be a headache for admins, however with Vbulletin forums I find it less of a problem than with other Forum softwares like PHPBB.

My other PHPBB forums getted spammed a heck of a lot so im quite pleased with the odd spam here and there on VB.

Well, I just like to look at the positive in the outcome of anything. I don't like spamming, but who knows, how do you know that one of those spammers won't be a great gamer and stick around with the rest of his friends once he takes time to get to know the site, I mean the conent of the site, not the programming aspect.
