They sure are prolific at the moment.

I guess someone somewhere in the world must click on them?

Hiya, the spam we are getting off this forum group is really annoying 😂😂😂 my email going off like mad, me thinking it's important, and boom spam

[FROSTYBALLS]

Topics merged.

Yes - very annoying, but they get cleared as quickly as we can.

Apologies, they seem to be hitting the site hard at the moment but we ban them out as quickly as possible.

As mentioned before, I cannot imagine anyone actually clicking on them and even more so, actually buying their any of their stuff 🙂

Yeah just report them when you see them and they usually get cleared pretty quick. Frosty and the team are on the ball!

It's not just here either; even some obscure gaming forums I'm on have seen an increase; The spammers must be employing sweatshop humans to create accounts or something, as this and the other forums have been pretty resistant to automated account creation in the past!

 

[Yugguy1970]

Aye, I always report as soon as I see them.

As regards reporting, where there are multiple spam topics from the same 'member', one doesn't need to report each topic. When we receive a report, we visit the offending members profile and can see what topics/posts have been made. Action is then taken to delete the offending topics/posts, and the member is banned from posting and accessing the site.

Well, I have not been successful in becoming a millionaire, or having a miraculous cure, or even casting a magic spell on the the evil criminals round here.

But I live in hope.

And maybe porcine mammals will sprout hollow boned appendages and take to giving air display shows.

Seriously though, they are so thick ,or can't be bothered to learn, how their target victims are to what extent clued up to their nonsense .

But thanks to admin for getting rid of it asap.

I noticed from the voodoo ones that they had made a few spell ing  mistakes.

Ah, Bob, their speiling mistacks are the least of their problems trying to extract cash out of the gullible.

It is so immediately obvious when they come on here ,by the simple volume of spouted nonsense in every post.

I think someone once said,"that the the most important,if not the sole purpose of education,is to determine when someone else is talking that well known language, utter nonsense.

Thanks for clarifying that, I'll stop reporting all of them in future!
