What do you expect Stevie when no-one is telling us anything and the spam now runs to more than 100 pages?
As Mouse says the Forum is dead unless someone fixes this - the stuff is still coming, sometimes at the rate of three or four posts every minute.
As above. This is a well supported and very supportive forum that needs to be moderated professionally. I really think that the spammers could be easily deterred; just ensure all new users need to be approved (by a moderator), block isps as needed and delete suspect threads quickly.
Just wondered if this is the only thread left....the rest is all football spam. WHY???!!!
I don't get it? What's the point? Its only going to get deleted anyway and its not even going to get anyone interested, not going to make any sales- they may have been able to with just the odd post stupid/naive people may have fallen for but 1000 odd? No one is that stupid!
bokul: Shove yur spam
where sun don't shine
Close it down for a while
Nightmare - I give up - back on Monday when the mods return to work!
you have to laugh at this thread being spammed!
I'm sure it'll get sorted out as soon as the RW techies are back at their desks. Feel free to pop over to Fetch while you wait
It's eerie in here. I'm actually quite scared in case it breaks again.
LOL
Is it me or has it all gone ????
I do believe you're right M...eldy - probably 6000 fewer threads in general than an hour or so ago. Seems a shame it took better part of 60 hours with no obvious comment from "them" about what was happening or what they were doing about it.
RW thank gawd for that , what took you so long ?
all they have to do now is fix the cut and paste problem
up and down more times than a whores drawers
Why would we want to go there, it's down more frequently than here.
That's a bit unnecessary.
@KK - I agree. I spoke to someone from RW towers at the london mara expo and they were really friendly and said that the people look on the site a lot and it's cared for... but they just have a really crappy way of showing it.
@Fetch - You're risking getting me over there sooner rather than later :0)
KK - It's examples like yours that really make me mad. You're a good honest member of the community trying to make it better and going out of your way and pocket to help them out and they can't even do the decency to pay you back the minimum costs? That's shocking. If you make a promise to someone - you keep it.
A thank you and some small token of appreciation (it doesnt have to be something expensive or elaborate) can make the world of difference but they dont' seem to understand that. I remember hearing other forumites offering their professional services to help sort out spam but were ignored... how they can hope to improve the situation and the relationship between forumites and themselves if they keep shooting themselves in the foot at every turn.
I shall get off my soapbox and go back to work...
Police..ambulance.. RW - seriously?
My God, what's going on here? I've been away from RW for a couple of months and come back to this!! Awful new forum design, angst all over the place and more spam than ever!!! Not sure I'll stick around........
At the risk of sounding like an extra from Poltergeist................................."Its back"..................
(Spam that is).
Yes I got one too .. I replied
