Spam from guest accounts

[Tim Murray]

Yup, looks like guest accounts are being abused in the news forum. Probably should turn them off temporarily.

Yup just noticed it. I was thinking wtf is he talking about until saw he made several posts with the same shit.

I think you are all being paranoid, why don't you take a few minutes and see what kind of rate you can get on a new mortgage?

That is a very interesting and tempting offer, but if you look here I think you might find a better one.

Question: are these actual people posting or bots of some kind? If they're bots, how do I get/use 'em?

They could save me OOODLES of posting time...

 

[Tim Murray]

Bots.

I just deleted those posts in the News and Beta articles forum.

There is a new one in the News forum. His name is duko.

 

[thop]

He got company by a guy called bugi and a few others. They are resurrecting old threads.

 

[Reverend]

Just deleted a number of these new ones.

I think you need to lock guest posting for a while, this is getting bad.

 

[jvd]

they just hit the beyond3d article section under this with spam. They dug up the cat 3.8 tthread haha .

I think a lock on guest accounts for awhile would be good

duko, zumba, buki and wlu_lax6 have returned. they also found the dev forum now.
