I love it when spammers strike...NOT!

What the hell does that accomplish?

Absolutely nothing....just attacking systems to find weak links .Maybe for something bigger down the road. Never know with cyber hackers. Can't stand them. @Amanda1248 took care of them for us...wahoo go Amada!

I just hit ignore on them and they disappear. Somebody in China must be bored.

It took me a bit to figure out I could clear my feed by doing that.

Thanks guys! I killed a bunch this morning. There's no need to tag us in each spam post by the same spammer. All I need is one, and I can use the "spam cleaner" tool to ban the user and delete all of their posts at once. Or, just use the report button once for each spammer.

Now I need to figure out how to get back the actual member that I accidentally banned and cleaned...

I suspect that is a result of blocking someone who replied to a spam post. I did the same thing cleaning up my feed.

In my opinion, the reason for doing is the same as walking through a parking lot, dragging a key down the side of a real nice car and giggling the whole time. Then you go to your friends and everyone brags about how many cars they keyed.

Nope, I accidentally banned a real user from the site. The cleaner tool deletes all of their post, comments, photos, likes, etc. I've been able to unban the user, but need @Michael to find if there's a way to get any of the other stuff back. I've cleaned several hundred spammers over the years here, but never came close to deleting an actual member before! ::shame::

No hard feelings Steve. It happens. Glad you got rid of the spammer!

 

[Joey83]

I'm just glad the forum is back to normal again. :)

Good job @Steve

Arg. Hey @Steve - can you txt me if another spammer hits so I can review their account? Thank you!
