Whack - A - Spammer Competition

Post by wm_hess » Wed Apr 12, 2017 1:15 am

Here I am, 1 in the morning, playing whack-a-spammer. Each time he spams, it's getting deleted. 30 or so, so far

There are some persistent spammers around here...takes a couple of people to get ahead of them *smile*.

When you all are playing whack a spammer be sure to send Carolyn a link to the member profile so she can block that profile and IP address from spamming again.
I just send her a note with "Registered spammer" as the subject line and include the link.

Obviously we can't block unregistered spammers but we can at least block the registered spammers from using the same member ID again. Makes them have to go through the work to get another registered ID to use...and makes me feel a little better.

And yes I know that blocking the spammer's IP address and member profile won't stop some of them but we can at least make them work harder to do the spamming.
