MCHinson Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 We have been hit pretty hard today by Korean Spammers. I have just deleted another group of them. If you see any more please hit the report button on one of the posts to alert the moderating staff. I did not notice how long that group of spam posts was out there before I saw it, banned the spammer and deleted all of his/her posts. Nobody reported this one. Hitting the report button will get it removed faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I already banned SHUGHshae66336. I have been looking at new users off and on all day and have managed to eliminate some before they had a chance to spam us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I would never try to contact the peckerwoods, but if I did it would be something like: You have come to the attention of the fbi criminal apprehension division, and may anticipate inquiry by the federal communications commission enforcement office. p.s.: your recipe for kimchi was written by an illiterate clerk who can neither cook nor understand Asian language composition.

MCHinson Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 And they are gone again for now... Simply report one of the spammer's posts if you see them again and we will ban them and delete all of their posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEducation Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 On the upside, I only saw one username. That's gotta make cleanup easier for the admins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reported the first one at about 11:30 CST last night. Since I only saw one username, I only hit report on the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 There were actually about a dozen or so again this morning. One of them did have 433 posts which is obviously the user whose posts you saw. I am spending about a half hour each morning dealing with the problem, until the long term solution is found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most moderators are in the Eastern Time Zone. I really wish we had a moderator somewhere overseas who would generally be awake when most of the moderators are asleep.

60FlatTop Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I printed the message and had it translated. It says "Buy the Korean Buick. The ones from China and the ones from Germany are no good. When better cars are built, Korea will build them." At least that's what the Korean tattoo artist who put "I am the evil from the valley" on the back of my neck said.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEducation Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hmmm... I'm not getting updates from the forum like I used to. I quit following several forums during the Korean Conflict of 2016 because my email was getting unmanageable, but I never quit following any threads. I've turned the following back on and was getting emails for a while, but I haven't gotten any updates since Wednesday...Oh, wait! When was that forum system update? Maybe that did it. Anyone else getting email notifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I appears that we are having some email delivery issues recently. The webmaster has been made aware of it. He is busy preparing for the update. I am sure he will get it all back up and running but we will need to be patient for a few days or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEducation Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I figured it was all related. Just making sure it wasn't just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
