I just came on here this morning to see that just about every post on here was hacked by this troll. Brad I sent you a PM concerning this and I hope you can get rid of him. It's people like this who make the forums rather unenjoyable for those who are honest and care about this page.

Ha - it's a beautiful irony that so far this is almost the only current thread that hasn't been spammed by the Oemexrting robot...

462 posts to that username's credit at this moment of writing. Good Lord, by the standards of these things this one is above and beyond! A spam hurricane! :shock: All of a sudden the ones who post a mere three or four spam threads now seem so gentle and restrained by comparison.

Cheers - C

Hey man I fear for the valuable threads which are being infested, will everything be wiped clean and we loose our substantial scripts?
Aw, crap.
This is de-moralizing.

Nah, don't worry. Soon as Brad sees it he'll block the spambot username and delete all its posts and everything will return to normal. Just don't post on spam threads: that simply leaves a messy residue behind once the bot posts are removed.

Meantime - heads down! Incoming...!

Cheers - C

I bet it hasn't hit this thread yet because we mentioned it by name. Oemexrting! Oemexrting! Oemexrting! There, now this post is safe. :lol:

Seriously though, I think this is the worst spam infestation I've ever seen.

As soon as Brad sees it. :lol: :roll: Very conditional phrase. It would be nice to have someone who actually moderated when it was needed. I'm all for hands off moderation. This appears more like negligence.

I'm not pointing a finger at Brad, per se, just at the fact that we had to endure this spam blitz.

This is not a 'troll' as some may think. It's not a person who is intent on annoying us. It's a programme designed for spam attacks on forum threads like ours. To completely eliminate this the security needs to be beefed up.

Don't get the wrong idea, this ain't a human :wink:

Hi guys,
I know its bad.....sheesh! Anyway, this guy is gone ( on this bot anyway)and I'm deleting "his" posts as judiciously as possible. Thanks to all who are reporting.
Hang in there. Brad's in charge of alot of stuf, andf even working some stupid hours, isn't always able to get to it right away.
Hope you're all doing good other than the irritating spammage!

All the best,
rob
