typically if i see a group of spam threads, i just report one of them and kind of assume the mod will notice all the other ones there as well.

Those were from everyone, not just you, coolsome.

ryannumber1gamer · 09/09/2012, 04:06 pm

Yes for example i must have sent around 10-15 reports about the spambot threads today.

Ohh good. I thought I became obsessive.

...and we went so long before another bot spammed the fourms :|

coolsome · 09/18/2012, 07:31 pm

Whenever coolsome is not on-line, all the other members should be asking 'Where's coolsome?

I think we were just cleaning them up before anyone noticed them. :/

The fabled "new forum" is expected to have something that will at least deter them a little.

Trust me, it hasn't stopped at all. It's slowed just a little, but there's still several every day.

We are, but we're always deleting our posts before you turn up again.

Well these posts exist. You just cannot see them!
Have you ever wondered why there is sometimes a link to a page of the "Whatever is on your mind" thread but if you click it it directs to the site before that? That's because of these posts.

I actually have no idea why this happens and it drives me crazy. I do know that it doesn't happen on earlier pages and I'm determined to get to the bottom of it one day.

ryannumber1gamer · 09/19/2012, 07:02 am

Wow you guys must really have been working hard to stop them for around a week or so, Can't really blame you guys for letting one through by mistake.

*GuruGuru214* · 09/19/2012, 08:11 am

We get them all eventually. It's just that sometimes we get them more quickly.

Huh. I think there's a reason why other vbulletin board moderators oppose threads with more than 100 pages.

JedExodus · 09/19/2012, 08:47 am

Ban JedExodus in 2013.

DAISHI · 09/19/2012, 08:57 am

Can we have a Coolsome button that spawns an awkwardly random thread topic that gets shut down within five posts?

I'm sorry! I was young and had no idea what a nightmare behemoth that thread would become!

I think I could manage to ban JedEx until 2013. Would that work?
