Spammers at MC...

[Vic Romano]

Wow, that Febreace guy went to town. I LVE reading these guys profiles, did you see this from his?

Personally I'm fond of jan, mar, apr, may, jun, jul, aug, sep, oct, nov and dec.

This guy actually posted his phone number and e-mail addy! Let's spam HIM!

Yeah... And if a person's profile seems a bit suspicious, it should probably be reported to the mods via PM's, let 'em who are the head honchos around here take care of the bogus members.

I'm deleting the threads as fast as I can. I've asked Phillip to delete the guys membership, in the mean time, please don't respond to any of the spam threads. Responding just keeps bouncing them back to the top of the new thread list. Report them and go create new muppety threads so the spam gets buried (mods will delete the spam threads as quickly as possible but I won't have computer access for most of the rest of the day).

Thanks for your help everyone!

No... Thanks go out to you MQ. And here's hoping you have a great day on a huge Muppety quilt with lots of nice Muppet-filled patches.
Helps take the sting out of dealing with all this spam crud.

I'm busy as a beaver in a petrified wood forest, but I check back to this thread pretty often. If you can, post links here. When they're reported it sends it to all mod's and I end up chasing down links that are already taken care of.

If the mods' all could, also: I try to post back when something's been taken care of so the others won't be trying to correct it behind me. Save them some time, too!

OK... We just thought the "Report Bad Post" would be a quicker option. But now we know, and that's... um, well, we'll just post here instead now.
Hope the convention's a blast.
Crazy Harry: Did someone say blast?
Nooooooo!

It's not a perfect system... but it works!

 

[Vic Romano]

I may be out of line here as this member hasn't even made a single post yet, but after looking at his profile, I think he might be a spammer

If this is wrong to post about a crime that hasn't yet been committed, I apologize.

Actually Vic... This "entity" for lack of a better term is a proven spammer. This is the basic example of a bogus member account I've found while keeping tabs on new members and reporting them if they prove to be bogus to either Kevin or Phil... You should rully send them the url to the member profile in a PM titled "Member Alert", at least, that's what I've been doing since the bogus member crowd started cropping up back in late August after that messy incident.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Ed. I'll PM Kev, MQ and Phil.
