Spammers

Hi All,

It looks like a spammer got past the extensive signup stages (by the looks of what was entered in the profile, it was a manual signup). All of their posts have now been removed and hopefully we don't have to deal with them in the future.

Every so often we will have something like this happen (normally only one post not 150!) so hit the report button (which 3-4 of you did) and we will remove them ASAP!

Thanks for your patience!

Drew

Suze, surely it is disrespectful to the members of this site to leave them in the dark over this.  ??

 

Direspectful ???

A website such as this needs advertizing to keep it operational ... YLC is not a charity organization and the staff have to get paid.

The members of the Meeting Place do not pay fees 

In reality how many regular members are there at the Meeting Place ?

I would suggest if members bumped a few topics, that would keep the spammers off the front page.

Goodness gracious!!!!!

Whoever thought I'd be agreeing with Suze?

But I do!

I still think it is disrespectful to not inform members what is being done about the spammers Suze.  Many have contacted management and had no reply.  Surely it is common courtesy to reply?

The spammers are not paying to advertise on here...if it keeps up more members will not bother posting I am sure.

Just my thoughts Radish

But cannot think of any other reason as to why they are not stopped

... they do stop a lot of bitching and arguing amongst the members.

As I said above if members bumped a few topics, that would keep the spammers off the front page.... spammers are quite visible because of their grey avatars, so it is not hard to gloss over them.

Radish has a "grey avatar" - is she perhaps a "spammer"? lol lol lol 

Then who are the people that run this forum being paid by?  Also for what reason?

PlanB

As far as I can see it is is NOT a charity or a government organisation ... it is  a business run for profit....read the links below

Thanks Suze -- well with all those people you would think they could do a better job of stopping these spammers and also ANSWERING email sent to them

Yes have read all about these lot that supposed to run this forum -- but other than email and postal address no other way of contact and emails are NOT working now for a LONG time

Suze, maybe they "are" paying management to put up these links...not doing any good though LOL...no one is bothering to click them on ;)

Some of them do seem to be regulars

 varun kumarji

varunkumar ji

vishal kumar

asrtery dfyrut

asetery agetu

 aetseryd sdtudtiyu

Well I've clicked on them and they do seem to be advertizemets of regular firms??

The kumar and ji are sure busy to night

We're being eaten by spam

Image result for spammers need spam

 

There is some 8 pages of them there already ...hard going in keeping them off the front page.

Is the pay good?

I hope you are being paid Suze  :)...I cannot be bothered bumping up things.

It only takes about 5 seconds to do 3 bumps ...

providing you do not get waylaid by reading and writing ;)

As an example in your response time I could have done many bumps

Ty for doing my share Suze  LOL!!

You are so cute

Open letter to Admin...bumped it three times and every time I did one of the spammers came over the top of me...interesting.

Gets to be good fun  save image

If people used their common sense and put the threads they like in "favourites" then the forum can be kept running. I have done that with the threads I like. Really silly to ask people to keep "bumping" threads.

 

Dumb - doesn’t work 

If you weren’t such an arrogant know it all , maybe you will be better liked 

on second thoughts , scrap that - don’t think it’ll help 

"better liked"?

You silly little person. Is that why you troll everyone on the forum so you'll be "better liked?" It's not working troll.

I don't need to be "better liked" by anyone on the forum. I am an independent woman who has a life, a great family and a circle of terrific friends.I don't have to sit here like you all day trolling.

I bookmark threads too BUT it would be really great to be able to go to the main forum page to see the latest threads I haven't bookmarked that have been recently added or commented on by other members, not page after page of spam. Otherwise ...

you just end up confined to the same stuff.

 

Well I guess the good news is that Drew addressed this issue a mere 6 years ago!!!

Hilarious...And Drew guess you've taken the usual understanding  of 'patience' to a whole different level  with the spamming issue!!!...

I mean 6 years of members complaining about the same issue has to say something about the forum's moderation .....not a great look by even the slackest standard..

Aargh, put a sock in it woman. What a laugh.I don't mind reading  comments from posters who contribute in an intelligent way to the forum, but it beggars belief  you would have the nerve to open your gob. As for moderation, yep, they should ban you again.

It looks like the spammers only seem to come in under General Discussion, nothing under Hot Topics. Maybe we should try to enter under Hot Topics, oh no, they might try that next time.
