The Fappening - Now a community!

The spam bots are here.

Yes they are, and driving me nuts. The douche bags. Vice, cant you call in some secret service power and have these spammers sent to some deep dark hole in the ground with a cell mate named Buba?

I already called in my favors to give the leaker a head start when the Feds went after him

Damn, there goes that idea.

Unfortunately this happens all the time and it will continue to happen until root promotes some members to watch over the forums while he's away. For right now just report every spam message you see, that will make it a lot easier for him to find and delete them.

He might want to install an anti-spambot plug-in. The spambots can get around the CAPTCHA rather easily. Either that or go to admin activation of new accounts. If the spambots get too obnoxious, he might have no choice but to go to admin activation (in lieu of adding an anti-spambot plug-in).

As far as "promoting some members to watch over the forums while he's away"-- since, with this forum software (as is usually the case with most forum software), in order to delete accounts one must have access to the Admin Panel--it would be beyond ludicrous to think he would allow those kinds of permissions to someone (unless it is a person that he knows IRL and trusts completely).
