What to do when a spammer hits the site

[mike]

Just report it using the report this post button and do not start replying to them no matter how much you want to tell them they scum.

IMPORTANT! - Please do not reply to the thread because it then becomes a lot of extra work for me to remove the spammer , not only do i have to remove all their posts but then i have to remove all the threads on a case buy case basis as well (other users tied to the threads). If the posts are not replied to then its easy to wipe that user from the board along with all topics and posts.

cheers

how can a man who still uses dail up be so onto these things.

[mike]

remember guys when a spammer hits, pm me or reece or text me 021 895515 or reece 0274 589921 instead of replying to the thread they create. If you do reply to the thread i cant delete them and their posts without going in and deleting your replies first which = 2-3x the work to get rid of the farkers

So if we hit the report button (exclamation mark) is that okay too?

Yep saw that, but you said to contact you direct... Just thought I'd check.

[SV1K]

You can do both, but use the exclamation mark first, if it is still there after 24 hours, then text or call either Mike of myself and we will sort it out.

I am looking on here most of the time and try to remove them as soon as they pop up.

Its not spam. You could really learn something if you'd only 'appropriate the time to apprentice about yourself' Jerry!

[mike]

Big thanks to whoever reported the latest spam threads as spam and didnt reply to any of the threads, made deleting the 6 or so topics one click of a button

A timely reminder what to do when reporting a post or spammer...

remember guys when a spammer hits, pm me (suzuki1k) or txt me on 0274 589921 instead of replying to the thread they create. If you do reply to the thread i cant delete them and their posts without going in and deleting your replies first which = 2-3x the work to get rid of the farkers

Remember, Mike is away for six months and it's only me looking after this...

If you see some story etc that just seems weird / out of context to ORE website or something that has a link to another website should always ring alarm bells (especially from a new user)

[SP450andLE]

e.g.

OMG funny show here(which they make a link). Simpsons show so funny America. Watch new show Futurama. Family guy movie dvd here.


etc etc

[ladeda]

sweet thanks all
I know what Im looking out for now and will make shure I dont respond to them and report them asap.

[mercutio]
