Don't reply to strange threads here. - Page 3

**TheRapingDragon** · 10-4-2008, 06:30 AM

Make that 4 reports. Latest one has porn images in it. Shame I don't understand any of it.

EDIT: Ya, 6. Earliest one I reported about 4 hours ago.

EDIT: 13 reports after I wait out the 60 seconds between each of these. I stand by my point that FFR really needs a staff member around at these times when all the American ones are sleeping.

EDIT: Ya, I'm not even bothering to report all these. I'd be looking at 20+ now as they are spamming faster than I can report (once per minute). This is the sort of thing where you need mass-deletions and banning.

This brings me again to what I've said before. You guys ARE banning these IPs, right? Logically, if IPs keep getting blocked, eventually they won't have any IP to post from.

And yeah, at least one of the mods should be willing to shift their schedule a little or something. It's one thing to be at class when it happens, but I know that there is at least one among you who can do some modding from 5 AM ~ noon EDT.

And you fags that are on AIM. Set your **** to show you're idle. I don't want to get on AIM at 5AM to try to tell you about porn being posted, only to find that you're not even there. That is annoying as hell. If you're going to idle all night long, ****ing let us know that you're idle.

ps PLEASE consider what I said in the post before. The solution here isn't damage control; the solution is to stop them from even being able to post their ****.

Tass is the only one who can IP ban. I'm pretty sure he hasn't been doing it.
Anyways, I'm usually up the earliest - from around 7am. I usually have tons of threads to delete. I had over 70 yesterday morning, etc.

NFD · 10-4-2008, 09:22 AM

Well last night, I just told Tass about 2 around 2am, and he got them right away.

Just because people from the UK (myself included) and Europe, and even Australia, would see these before you. Hell for anyone from the UK and Europe there has been spam around the past 5-6 hours or so. You're the first mod I've seen.

Some of them aren't even advertising anything anymore.

**foilman8805** · 10-4-2008, 06:03 PM

Some of them want to speak to the admin. lol

Haha i saw that one.

I can't believe I didn't catch the one with the link attached to the smiley face -__-''

**Squeek** · 10-4-2008, 06:17 PM

Mods can't IP-ban. Only admins can.

That doesn't matter since every user signs up with a unique IP.

Really our only answer is a captcha, but the vbulletin update mucked up our captcha so we have to start all over again coding it.

Also some of you are really dumb. If there's a new thread in Literature that isn't literature, assume it's a bot.

Looking at you carbo. How did you fall for that? Seriously?

And in case you didn't get it the first time:

DO NOT REPLY TO AD BOTS.

Don't post "this is a bot". Don't post "reported". Don't reply to their post. Ignore the thread. Report it to us via AIM and we'll take care of it. Don't bother using the report function since it takes so damn long to get it sent to us.

Every time you reply, you make about 100 new links to the thread. Even just clicking on the thread makes a ton of links to the thread. It's annoying. Cut it out.

Maybe you should make a more global announcement for those who are unaware of this whole situation. It would be unreasonable to give out bans to people if they didn't know that they aren't allowed to reply to a spam thread. I think this should be something added to the Announcement thread at the top of the forums.

This is my opinion though, don't think I'm flaming or disrespecting your decision. I personally think it is immature to reply to one of those threads. Not only does it bump it to the top of the recent posts, but it also creates more work for the moderators.

Once again, this is something that should be emphasized more throughout the whole forum.

Front page announcement may be necessary, but there already is a global announcement if you hadn't noticed, and if you're a typical forum regular, you should know better anyways.

Also, incoming volley of porn sites. Spambots are at it like crazy right now.

Just thought I should point out what I said. I was talking about how users; NEW users shouldn't get banned for something that isn't globally announced. If it is globally announced and I have missed it, I apologize. I don't see a global announcement about this situation anywhere though.

~Soul

**foilman8805** · 10-4-2008, 07:33 PM

There's an announcement at the top of every sub forum here - so, there's one at the top of Chit Chat, TGB, Lit, General Talk, Newbie Forum, etc. There's no way to make an announcement available on the index as far as I know...maybe I speak from ignorance though.

Just so you see it, here's the one for General Talk: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/....php?f=14&a=36

**Squeek** · 10-4-2008, 07:33 PM

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/....php?f=52&a=36

You mean this global announcement?

It's right above the list of threads if you click "New Posts" too.

**s0ulst0n3** · 10-4-2008, 07:40 PM

Oops! >.<

I made a dumb mistake and I apologize, I haven't seen that before now, hehe.
