Quailman · His Postmajesty

I received my first spam message. How do I move it to the spam forum?

Better yet, how do I go about meeting the girl who embedded a photo of herself in the message. One of her funbags is hanging out, btw.

Let me know if you want me to forward it to anyone, or did everyone receive this same message?

Lepton · 1:41+ Arse Scratcher

Watch it, Qman; Olga and her luscious funbags messaged me first.

I wonder if the spam went just to the admins/mods, or to everyone? It should be easy to disable messaging for Icarians, I think. Would that impact anything? (Mafia, maybe)

Courk · Daedalian Member

9:12 EST Olga messaged me. Do I win? Do I want to win?

pikachamp · swore in chat!

I haven't been here in ages, and I still got spammed.

Neo · Daedalian Member

It's not to all admins/mods, I didn't get one.

Maybe everyone but Neo got one.

Courk · Daedalian Member

So Neo must be Olga!

Bicho the Inhaler · Daedalian Member

I received the message, and I'm a regular Daedalian Member.

Samadhi · +1

I did not get it. So it's just me and neo then.

mudbuck · Dirty Dollar

...and me.

I suggest making a single checkbox on private messaging, posting, and/or registering that requires you to check it in order to complete that function.

[ ] Check this box (anti-spam)

one case is hardly worth adding new features

Samadhi · +1

Unless that one case is really extreme (9/11 was just one case). But this doesn't qualify. But for Gedankenexperiment, by all means. Hell we might unintentionally be proactive.

I posted my own thread to this because I am blind Wink

Yes we are getting PMed by bots now. This isnt good. I couldnt even IP check it etc.

It wont be long before someone gets an image spammed to them.

The overhead of spamsters on GL is going make the old Will battles look easy...

Courk · Daedalian Member

We've already gotten images spammed to us.

worm · unregistered

Samadhi · +1

If anyone gets one, could you forward the message to me?
I'll go ahead and ban them. That should take care of any old spammers, and Antrax's new features should prevent new ones.

Amb* · Guest

What are the new features?

Lepton* · Guest

Presumably, Sam was talking about the modification to the registration page.

Samadhi · +1

Precisely. I was talking about Antrax's update to the registration page which has proven to be most effective.

I'm still interested in getting data on PM spam. If anyone gets any please PM me immediately. This will help weed out any "lurker" spammers.

I got one from Victor3999 titled "Invite for Mafia Game ~ Spies 5: The Shootout!" I forwarded it to Sam.

MatthewV · Daedalian Member :_

I got two of those messages. I checked my other GL accounts and none of them had anything new.

Victor3999 can no longer send PMs. That should improve the mood of everyone!

Dragon Phoenix · Judge Doom

Already taken care of Victor? Good!
