Anymore problems with spams on the board lately?
« on: January 30, 2011, 11:37:45 pm »
I know it's happened in the past, and I've been fairly buisy with life and absent from the chat for a while now.  I'm asking because of a spam email that I got...it references Fybertech, is why I ask.  Also, I figured I'd share it here...heh.

It could possibly be from when the spams did hit, and it's just now sending spam with direct reference to the site here.  I'd be curious to know if anyone else here got such emails as well.

[00:52] <@FyberOptic> 5790 porns would be such a much better use, for example

You're the third person now that I've seen get that message.  Though I'm curious if you're getting the email directly, or if it's like a personal message through here.  If it's the former, I need to see if there's a way to hide all email addresses, I guess.

It was direct to my personal email.  I've seen a few spams go through my spam folder and I've blocked some that made it to my inbox, but I believe this is the first to reference Fybertech.  Odd that.

Welp, I finally went and made new accounts have to be approved by me, and deleted a bunch of ones that I thought were spammers.  That should stop this kinda junk from happening from now on.
