LindenBruce 27 Report post Posted December 26, 2014 Before you go gunning for someone take a look at page 2 about half way down. There is a thread on this already. Please take a look at it. B. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JD08 42 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Copy a link to the crap thread and PM Pakrat. That's what the spam sticky suggests. Think of it as doing a public service for your fellow members. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindenBruce 27 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 I have an e-mail address for a site owner at another forum do you want it to ask what they do? Because I hardly ever see spam there. B. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raven R code 281 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 There should be an anti-spam widget that can be added. personally , I think there should be a button for each post or user that when clicked on by at least 5 registered users , it will delete that user or post spam.

MAD IN NC 21 Report post Posted December 30, 2014 Another Forum I frequent is the FordGT Forum, who just upgraded to the latest Vbulletin platform. With that on the lead page you can find the following counter... " Spam-O-Matic Statistics 10 Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated" so... time for upgrade?

MikeStang 247 Report post Posted December 30, 2014 This is the first time I can recall in 5 years the forum has ever been hit with this kinda spam. some one mentioned contacting the authorities about the fake passports and such...I had a guy trying to sale me a gun through a reputable gun website, I asked for his FFL and he sent me a copy of it, too bad it was for a dealer in explosives and not firearms and was linked to a gun shop about 1000 miles from the guy...I contacted the local FBI office and gave them the guys name he provided along with a phone number that I actually talked to him from. Im not profiling but it was kind of a dead give away when the guy called me and was trying to tell me about the Kimber 1911 he was wanting to sale me and doing it all in a Heavy Foreign accent. Not sure if the FBI followed up however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
