CD Spam
 

Ive noticed within the past week that there are quite a few spam threads that appear, are these usual, ive only been on Delphi for 3 months so im not sure

Re: CD Spam
 

I've been on for several months, I'm not even sure how many. Spamming happens everywhere you go. I normally see 2-3 a month. But then again..

I survived the Great CD Spamming of 2006.

The moderators do an amazing job getting rid of that stuff really quickly. That's probably why you don't see so much.

Re: CD Spam
 

i just saw 2 advertising threads pop up before i started this thread, one yesterday, and 1 on teusday

oo but today i finally got to report a thread, i dont think thats a good thing though

edit: another one popped up thats 3

any bets as to how long it will be until they try again?

Re: CD Spam
 

Probably the same time tommorow, these spammers might have a schedule for this website and other websites

Re: CD Spam
 

They probably won't keep trying if it keeps getting deleted. But it seems when it rains, it pours with these spammers.

The moderators do, do a good job when it comes to getting rid of the spam. Kudos to them!!

But yeah I don't really see it to often. It's not that big of a deal anyway, it gets deleted and it's like it never happened.

Re: CD Spam
 

It never did happen. This forum doesn't get spam. That's what the subversive rebels want you to think.

Long Live Big Brother!

Re: CD Spam
 

Remember to post after the spam saying that you've reported it and, if you come across spam and see that someone's already reported it, please don't report it again. :)

Some of y'all just reported the same piece of spam three times. When I get that much e-mail, that rapidly, it kinda freaks me out. ;)

Re: CD Spam
 

I have also noticed a bit of a rise in the number of spams recently compared to previous months. I've never read any of them, though, the mods are just so fast at deleting them.

Re: CD Spam
 

The spam you see (or don't see, thanks to the moderators) is most likely automatic. There are measures in place to prevent it, but some slips through.

Re: CD Spam
 

Would you quit saying y'all Mads? You're a New Yorker remember?

The mods do a pretty fantastic job, some forums I admin are not quite that clean to my dismay. I'm the only mod that cares and I can't keep up with all of it.

Re: CD Spam
 

Remember that with increasing popularity, Chief Delphi also recieves more attentioin from not-so-productive sources. They're just spam threads - no harm will come of them.

Re: CD Spam
 

I just noticed the 4 in one spammer and ya i think there has been more spam lately esp since i just noticed this one

Re: CD Spam
 

I'd agree, I've never seen anything like this before.

Re: CD Spam
 

o oi only thought there was only 4 but 6 we need to figure out a solution...if there is one
