overrun with spam accounts

Posts: 627 Threads: 14

I don't think the private message system is working so I am starting a new thread.

In the past couple of months the site has become overrun with spam accounts. Most have game links and many are replying to very old threads. These have all joined in the past month except one that joined 5 years ago but recently posted that they work for a IT consulting company in Dubai.

These are the ones I found in the past few minutes. I would report them directly but I can't find any sort of report button on the site.

Thanks. I started reporting the user by clicking on the user and clicking the report button. Are you receiving those?  I found several more that I had missed  in my oriignal post and have four more that have joined in the last 12 hours.

A new system is being added to the forum to stop this from happening.  It should solve this issues going forward. Thanks for the help in the names.

I've just reported these using the new button

jeffreestar
lauralordelaure (still a registered user)
Arielbrown

and one of the three was reported in the original post. Does this imply the new report sysetm isn't working yet? Or just that moderators haven't had time to attend to it yet?

raydensmith posted to the Austrailian Collectors Group thread 40 minutes ago even though the account has been banned. Maybe you just deleted it in the last 40 minutes.

I love the irony of sarausa0106 posting in this thread with usless advice and the payload in the signature. 

Still waiting for an answer on whether we should use the report function or not.
