Influx of porn gifs and scammers

Hello all -

I notice spam is popping up and lasting for days and days. So I'm offering to zap some spam when I pop in, if that will help.
 
So anyone else noticing this? Is there away to delete posts off blogs to stop this or something? :)

Also stepping up if you need a hand on the site I'm willing to step in and help?
 
The spam is getting out of control. One reason I have used this site traditionally has been that I felt safe accessing it from work, although we talk about adult subjects, at least it is only text...

Well, not today. Now we've got a spammer posting animated gifs of explicit porn. And they have made it into the blogs section. Not cool.

If the spam is beyond what the current mods can zap, can we get more spam-killers on the job? I volunteer to be a spaminator! Whatever it takes...
 
I used the 'view forum leaders' to send an email to one of the staffers. Not sure if I picked someone active or not, but I agree, it's getting super cluttered and... I'm tired of seeing them too :(
 
To report a post click on the little triangular icon on the top right hand corner, and all the mod staff and clean-up crew will receive a message about it. Writing "Spam" in the reason box is enough information, so don't waste your time composing an essay.

If there are multiple spam posts from the same person you only need to report one of them for the spamminators to be able to find them all.
 
I reported several spams by one bot and there are more still at the end of plenty of older posts.

I report spam every day and every day there is more that seems to sit there for days.... Is the staff overwhelmed? I know NYCindie is supposed to be doing spam but I haven't seen her post here in ages.

Is there no one to go down New Posts and take off the obvious spam (multiple posts by a "new member" with a strange name) that crops up every day?
 
I agree. I found it so offensive to find animated porn spam on my blog! GROSS
 
Yeah if you all don't think i'm a good fit its cool but i'm here every day and a few others who are more regularly responsible. I can't speak up for them, but i'm happy to step up if needed.

Me and mags taking it personally with titles like "vintage pussy" I don't mind pussy's or porn, but vintage I take offense to....lol. Trying to see the silver lining in a distasteful joke. Been watching too much Garfunkle and Oats comedy.

And I have reported multiple ones. Thanks Emm.

Well, I don't know if you're implying my pussy is vintage or what, there.

But I have a "vintage porn" gif on my blog right now, which is a woman eating another woman's bald pussy, in HD. That is not 70's porn! The spammer bot didnt even get their gif right.
 
I only meant we got the same GIF, and meant to make a joke out of it mags to try to highlight the fact that the spam is now on blogs too.

Also it was tongue-in-cheek, if they were trying to rattle us, they could at least be feminist with the porn. And good to know they got even the gif wrong as well. lol.

Mods aren't gone, but we are short.

Apologies if the dozen or so that got through the filters appears to be an increase, but please understand that the automated filters to reduce spam isn't perfect, but it does catch a LOT. There's also the annual surge going on... usually at New Years, for a couple months, there's a huge surge in spam. Seems to be going longer than usual this year.

For the dozen or so posts that managed to sneak through (mostly by 2 lucky bots) I just removed about 170 spam threads, and over 230 posts. Regular users only get about 1% that the auto system doesn't catch.

If people are still interested in stepping into a spamminator role, please PM me, as I'd love to have more active cleaners.


Cheers,

Thanks for the clean-up, Imaginary Illusion! :)
