Spammers at MC...

I hope no real damage could be done.
I think this site is only having these problems because its using a very popular forum software and theres people out there who devote their time to hack and make programs to send bulk messages in forums using this software.

Just to report, I also got a spam PM from the user ashleyleng. Same as Beau described.

 

[Muppetsdownunder]

Did everyone get one?

 

[Vic Romano]

Vic is right! Her join date is "1970" in the PM I got.

Wait a minute... Beau; your's had her with a different join date!? How did they do that!?

Okay, this dink just spammed me, too. Sent me a private message.
Can we just drop a piano on them or something?

I think the best (worst?) thing about the PM spam was how pathetic their spelling and grammar was. Yeah; I'm really gonna' do bussiness with someone who rites ths liek.

 

[MuppetsRule]

Many SPAMMERS spell words intentionally wrong in order to get around SPAM filters.

I got one about DVDs. How could she join in 1969?????? D'Snowth's right, we're under attack! Hide!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Under attack? I've been feeling that way lately, too. Seems that there's a lot of unstable-ness around here lately. Kind of sad, really. If it's not someone who's in a bad mood and posting, it's these awful spammers.

I got the PM one about DVD's too. If everyone got it then yeah i guess they are using a program to bulk mail the members list. I was thinking something could be done to ban their IP addresses but then i guess they can probably get round that too.
