Admin2 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi Eddie, I have deleted and banned the spammers and will continue to do so. I don't always see them in time before they do something. Spam log-ons are not always automated any longer. They will pay someone in a foreign country pennies to sit there and log on to sites all day long and spam them. We have a challenge question on our forum and then they have to validate by email. So our spam is obviously has a human element at play. As soon as I see them I ban everything about them and there isn't much any website can do if humans are involved otherwise it would ban or affect the real members. Your looking at the complaint manager. He will take care of them and if you have any doubts look deeper in those eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastEddieB Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 They will pay someone in a foreign country pennies to sit there and log on to sites all day long and spam them. You don't have to tell me - I'm actually a Malaysian woman in a Pakistani sweatshop and all I do all day long is log into aviation websites and try to convince them I'm a U.S. pilot. I'm just waiting to drop the spam bomb! Oh, wait...that was supposed to be confidential. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmoore7 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I got 4 in the last 24 hours and deleted them as well. Thanks, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT4ME Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 it's not a new problem... it pops up every month or two, but we usually catch them right away and delete them and ban the sender. Thanks for understanding. There's no way to protect against hand-done spam. tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
