Spam Reduction

This is strange. Can you forward the email to me? david.jensen@axisandallies-org

@Midnight_Reaper Thank you for posting this. I have forked this posting to a separate topic.

Let me just add that it would be great if everybody noticing spam would refrain from commenting on spam postings.
Flagging the spam is totally sufficient to bring admin/moderators into action to remove and purge the dirt.

Further commenting on spam means that we unneccessarily would have to deal with those comments too, that remain somehow isolated when the spam/the spam accounts have been removed.

Thank you all for your help to keep this forum clean.

In Quebec we have this one: “I want a poutine without cheese.
So, you want gravy and fries?
No. I want a poutine without cheese.”… :wink:

Most serious spammers use IP rotators and are impossible to ban. Each and every spam attempt will appear to come from a different IP address. They have been at it for a long time and are intent on advertizing for free.

We have reCaptcha and StopForumSpam and I think it’s doing a good job. The issue was the photos right?

I can try turning them back on.

If you have more posts than the secret magic number, then your posts will skip spam filtering.

This is new.

Yea, but honestly, to play games, I’d have to give up posting here and playing Axis and Allies.  Would you really wish that on me and the world? :P

it helps when english isn´t your main language, since i rarly get legit e-mails in English…,…

But there is a new virus on MSN that my girlfriend mnaged to infect my system with.

It says somethinga long the line;  Here´s some summer pictures i took the other day, have a look"  then it wants you do download a rar file, if you do it will download and say “error, couldn´t download”  (but it sure did).

Then all your Msn contacts will get the same  messages from your Msn when they or you log on.

Beware., It was quite hard to get rid of…  had to manually dleete some stuff, then atlast the virus priogram managed to clear out the rest but it took 4 scans+manual deleting+making my firewall stop all contacts with certain programs in the mean time…

Without firewall it will contact some server and re-download all vital files again when a virus scan and cleaning is done.
