Don't delete me...I'm still here lol.

Stupid question, but what's the purpose of the spamming? I don't usually go into the suspect threads, so I don't know if they're selling something or want you to click on links, or what?

I can usually tell by the weird names or thread titles.

Thanks for cleaning house, seems to be a never-ending task though

They usually are selling something or they have links that they get paid for on a 'per click' basis. Most of them are computer-based... there's no human at the other end doing the registration... it's all computer programming. Every site has them. At IDF, we didn't notice them so much because we were only ONE sub-forum in the sea of sub-forums. They had a lot of mods handling them.

Here, we are ONE board so I see them all. Since last night, there seems to have been a flood of activity from the spammers... Dunno why....

Members shouldn't be seeing their posts or new topics though... Do you still see them before I get to them to prune them out?

I've seen their posts in an existing thread, but I never see new posts, if they post one.

Yes, when I first found the settings to force their new topics to be approved by admin, I didn't realize that it didn't include their posts in existing threads. I've remedied that now. So you guys shouldn't be seeing any of their crap!

Lol, Marie

I saw a weird thread a couple of days ago, think it was early in the morning...it was gone later in the day. I didn't click on it, so I'm only assuming it was a spammer....had a weird thread title, too.

I know! I had pruned chronologically from the end going backwards. I didn't want to prune some names that 'might' have been a poor choice of username, just in case... So spammers that escaped my pruning a few weeks back still had access to the board.

Today, I was so pissed to find 50 new spammers had popped up overnight that I did a major overhaul... Sorry to any 'real' user that may have got caught in the crossfire.

There are still a handful of users that are questionable, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt... until they make a bad move...

Now can you come clean at my house, too? There are some dust bunnies (lots actually) that were not invited and need to leave

Put carrots near the door? WUT? Just a suggestion!

I don't dare put out food anywhere; my son is home for the summer, and he eats everything in sight.

Been there! When my boys were still home, I'd come home with bags of groceries, put it all away, make a coffee, go relax for an hour in my room... I'd come back to the kitchen with most of it... gone!!!!!

Teenagers (and their slew of friends) cost me a fortune!

When my boys first moved out, they used to come do their groceries in my cupboards/fridge.... That didn't last long... I took out a physical calculator and started adding up each item as they took it out... The got the message!

Lol, I better watch my fridge when he moves out
