Midlife 834 Report post Posted May 22 I can't figure out why they post here. It's in Russian; a hobby site isn't interested in what they have to say...it is simply wasted effort on their part to post. 2 kblagron and RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to upload a picture earlier today too, but no dice. Ben (the owner) may not be aware of the problem, since he is hopefully still battling bots. He's a difficult man to get a hold of at the best of times. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesse 69 Fastback 28 Report post Posted May 27 The latest bot posters seem to be from accounts created years ago. Can we do a scan of accounts and purge/lock ones that look suspicious? Have all of the recent issues with bots posting been from old accounts, or are they also getting newly created? I’m happy to help in any way. I’ve been in the tech industry for over 30 years.

RPM 1,232 Report post Posted May 27 Ya, inactive members who joined a couple of years ago have been the ones doing the current spamming. It would be wonderful if we had more moderators to delete the spam posts and flag the spammers. But only Ben has the authority to add moderators.
