When these one post spammers strike is there an option in Yabb to report them to admin or is it better to pm someone. I never click on the links they always seem to post nor reply. (One reply once). Currently I don't say anything, so is that the best action? (sorry this should have been in site questions)

Got them Steve .... thanks

We seem to be getting those spammers like the wasps to apples right now.

They wasting their time ......

We're wading in the blood of humanspammer sacrifices down in the basement!!! It is like the Inca Empire meets Dracula ;D ;D ;D

that is probably the case actualy,someone who keeps making new acounts.
i have been on about 5 forums over the years for various games and every single one has an IP ban.

Whining on and on about it only shows the spammers that they are doing their job right and encourages them to continue.  :-/

Guys, calm down. There's no need to get so worked up over a bunch (or maybe just one ;D) of loser trolls/spammers.

We've survived far worse attacks than this current one guys, don't worry all the mods are well and truly on the case with this, just don't respond to any of their idiotic threads and let us deal with it ;)

Got it.
And trust me guys.  They've delt with me without any probloms.  None of the moderators or administrators will be having a big emotional blowout anytime soon! :D :D ;)

You'd be shocked what goes on in the Mods Forum ;D ;D ;D

The moderators and adminitrators have their own forum that other non-admin and moderators can't see? :-?

Yup... and it is a scary place... the initiation alone is enough to make grown men weep ;D ;D ;D

That would be interesting to see... ;D :D

Bet there's quite a few colorful posts about that pita Romulus.... ;)

I wish there was a way to get rid of Spammers, Trolls, Hackers for good :-/.
But for such a big site SimV is doing pretty well keeping them away :o.
Keep up the good work Mods, And Administrators ;) [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

You would fit right in Rom.  ;D

I noticed an issue in a post, so I tried to edit it, and I received a warning saying that I would be banned if I did it twice more, as it considered me as spamming.

Now I'm not saying that my posts are all smart, but that's a slightly harsh way of putting it!  ;D


Is that part of the master plan against the spammers?

Posting this fast is considered spamming, you are warned! You are only allowed 1 more attempt(s) after which you will be banned as spammer!

Penalizing everyone else is not an acceptable solution.

Actually, It's been happening to me for a while.
I sent pete a pm and He said that it was probably just my browser. Hope this helps.
But Does it happen all the time?

I've not seen this, which browser are you using? And have you cleaned out your cookies lately?

A Marine in therapy; now that's a scary thought..... ;)

Just couldn't resist.... ;D

I've yet to meet a therapist brave enough to take on a Marine case ;D ;D ;D

We meet at the bar.  Best therapy I could find.  ;)  ;D

Therapy in a bottle, heck of a lot cheaper than a therapist.
