Come on guys no one is on it tons of spam today

[Bkman2020]

I have to scroll down pages of this spam crap when mods are fixing it ?

[4wheelin]

yes there was a crap load ,spent alot of time getting at it.frustrating to say the least.

This is a popular site and spammers know it. We get tons of spam posts every day. We do the best that we can do with a handful of moderators, but sometimes the messages get a bit ahead of us. If you come back a short time later, however, they'll be gone. It's a constant, time consuming, frustrating battle.

[crazed 9.6]

we have a section in the staff lounge dedicated for spammers only. There is where we record IPs of spammers and keep track of what type of spam is taking place and other things.
Most spammers use a VPN service, so banning IPs really is not the answer. We tried that but then we get emails from regular members asking why such and such IP was banned. They think they did something wrong, which they did not but since the VPN randomly came up with a previously banned IP, well ... :eek:
So you can see why we do not like to ban IPs

There is another thing we can do and that is to not allow any new registeries until they are screened. That keeps the spammers out at about 90% efficiency.
Problem with that is that it takes up all my free time of the day, and I mean all of my free time. I have done that maybe on 4 occasions, only when a particular spamming group may be online and are presistant buggers.
But I do miss some people that are not spammers and that have been trying to sign on, well I do not miss them but I may not get to them for a few hours, which sux when you are the one trying to sign in :eek:
But like I say, that option is not ideal :eek:

Another option is to add 3rd party options to the vbullintin (which the website runs off of), them options can stop spammers at a pretty good efficiency rate.... but to mess with tinies vbullintin is akin to messing with his girlfreinds... you just do not do it :eek:

So our front lines are the staff here at iptvTalk.
I want to take a minute and give some thnx to those staff that work at this relentlessly and with no recognition for their work. I know thou, and beleive me, these guys are troopers when it comes to spam bam wham !!
ANd the members too help alot with the report post function... thnx guys :)

Rock on guys and a big thnx for the tons of behind the scene work you guys do.

[Bkman2020]

More spamnow and no one in sight to fix it .

[ilan]

People aren't here 24/7. Spammers are. It's a fact of life. A single spammer often posts 40 or 50 pieces of crap.

Even when we are here, a spammer can post those 40 or 50 messages in a matter of seconds. It's automated. Once we discover it, it still takes time to clean it up. Again, that's a fact of life. It's uncomfortable for you to see it while it's a pain in the ass for us to clean it up!

Within an hour of your posting, however, we had everything cleaned up.

What do mods really do then ?

[Bkman2020]

Report will do nothing, there back agian.

[ilan]

Nob0dy's right. Reporting helps. If we get a message about spam that we haven't yet seen or have overlooked, we get rid of it.

[Bkman2020]

Good luck catching all the spam bots

[crazed 9.6]

Bkman, instead of crying about the spammers, why not give the staff some thnx for all the work they do.

I think I see that you still do not appreciate what work is involved when dealing with spammers.
I am not about to explainit all again thou.
We staff spent alot of time dealing with spammers, we should not have to spent all this extra time trying to convince you that yes indeed we do spent ALOT OF TIME DEALING WITH SPAMMERS
There has been enough explanation my freind.
Report the posts we may have missed and we will look after them. I still have yet to see any reports from you Bkman :eek:


use the report function and feel free anytime to thnx the staff for all the work they DO FOR YOU

:)


oh yea, I have not even mentioned what some of our members do to help us with these damn spammers.
There are a few members here on site that take it upon themselves to give these spammers some hell :)

Thnx guys , you know who you are :)

[nob0dy]

@ilan thank you sir ;D



Good luck catching all the spam bots

the more we " members " report more of these guys/gals show up & remove it ......

when we report a message goes to everyone's private mail-box listed here ~> http://iptvtalk.net/showgroups.php

if " we " say nothing .... it's our fault ....... i report all the time BTW ......

[Bkman2020]

I only see 2mods on here what happen?

[ilan]

It's essentially a Cindarella situation. While the others are out partying, the incredibly good looking ones are back here working their hearts out.

[Bkman2020]

No problem

[Bkman2020]

Noticed no spam guess someone woke up lol

[crazed 9.6]

BKman, you are driving my last nut bro.

No one woke up, we always were awake.
What happened is a couple of us stayed up and disgarded spam as it appeared, all night.
And again, we did that for you !!
