Spammers on 365....

September 21st, 2016
There is a lot of spam/advertisements on here the last week. There is a lot right now if you look at most recent posts. I wonder what Ross can do beside just deleting that account. It could be hard to keep this site as open as it is and not have spam.

Wow, I've never seen it this bad. I've tagged a bunch of them so Ross @Scrivna can delete the accounts. Out of 49 slots on the latest page only about 9 of them are from actual 365ers. Yikes!

@dyanstevens i do that too, hope he doesnt mind! there are heaps, I have started to put go away messages! when they put it in the discussions its taking things a bit far, but the best thing is just to tag Ross and then ignore them so they disappear down the list pretty fast.

Yep - more and more of em out there...

I wonder if Ross @Scrivna can block the computer this person is using. The same posts are coming from different names, but I would assume that it the same person using the same computer.

I have been tagging these pages, there is a lot. The person doing this is busy spamming this site.

@chapjohn presumably they've written some sort of code that automates this? 'cos otherwise it's a boatload of work... and for what? as someone said in another thread - imagine the good they could do in the world if they used that time and energy for something constructive :)

Hey guys, it actually looks like they are manually uploaded so unlucky for them for wasting so much time. I have some code to automatically delete them all so save your time, you don't need to tag me in them. They have to have uploaded a photo in order for me to detect them so they will appear on the latest page, i'all do my best to catch them early so other people's photos get a chance to be on latest too.

Thanks for your efforts!

They seem to concentrate on the weekends. Blows my minds that people think being annoying is a good way to advertise their products.

@Scrivna Thanks Ross

Wow, the site is full of them today! @Scrivna
