Friends,
We're seeing an increase in spam posts. Spam is not just annoying, but the links can go to hazardous parts of the internet with malicious code to infect your computer. Can you help us keep the site cleaned up? The spammers are getting smart and not creating threads, but posting to existing threads. Almost always, it's from new user accounts that actually finished the sign-up process. If you see something that needs a clean-up, please PM the following admins with a link to the thread involved: -ClayPerrine -Vacca Rabite -Rusty By emailing all three of us, one of us is sure to clean it up quickly and *ahem* escort the jerkwad off the premises. v/r Rusty |

They can already send PMs and emails to members once they signed up, in addition to post anywhere on the site. You really think this is going to push them over the edge and get them all excited?

You really think this is going to push them over the edge and get them all excited? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It's a vulnerability you need to be aware of. It just became much easier. PM generation takes more clicks and a enrolling. It's now very easy for anyone to go into any thread and post a message. Does the user need to be logged in to use this? or can a guest post and the @ notification works? Very easy now to just open any thread and post a message with: @anyusername1 @anyusername2 @anyusername3 @anyusername4 @anyusername5 @anyusername6 @anyusername7 @anyusername8 @anyusername9 @anyusername10000 .....is there a limit on the number of users? I can blast 20 threads in the time it takes to create one. |
