SimpleSam, posting about some Xperma store thing.  Thought I'd post here since the report-to-mod thing takes forever to work.

Yes, I saw those threads too. There were four altogether, one in each of the forums of the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, and More Than A Decade. I just looked and saw that three of them were still there.

Here are their URL's:
http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=28171.0
......28172.0
......28173.0

I think they should be removed.

Looks like we have another spammer on the loose (this time it's a guest, in the 2000's section).

Here are the URL's for the spam threads:
http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=29626.0
http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=29627.0

Both these threads appear to be about some commercial organization, and they should be wiped.

There's new spam about a decades forum.  It's been posted twice as a topic in the past two days.  I think it needs to be deleted.

Seems like that person is just not quitting. It's a guest, posting as "Retro Decades dot net." He/she/it/sock is getting quite irritating. Maybe his IP needs to be blocked or something.

because he is an annoying kid. Not only does he bug us here at inthe00s....he also sends me mesages on myspace asking me to add him as a buddy. It's like..."LEAVE ME ALONE!!" ::)

Dang, you can't block him?

I perused his messageboard last night.  He has a topic up called, "Does inthe00s suck now?"  It would be amusing if it weren't so damned pathetic.

so far, I've just totally ignored him and denied his requests. I'll have to see about blocking him.  Ya...his messageboard is really lame.

it's impossible to completely ban someone.  There are many ways around it if you are determined to be a pain.  Best to ignore the troll and let the mods delete the posts as they appear.

inthe00s sucks now if you're banned from it and they delete your posts as soon as you show up.

I see.

He never bothered me, but that's due to me being oblivious to his threads in the past. I guess I'm lucky that way.

Another one has been spamming the Penguin News this morning. You don't have to look very far to find his repetitive threads. ::) I've already reported a couple of them to the mods.

Edit: I guess he's gone now. Yay!!! :D :D
Now can his account be culled?

Gotta bump this thread again; there is a guest spammer invading all the boards in which guest-posting is available. I have already reported four such threads.

Should his IP be blocked too before he invades all the boards?

Was it the inbox spammer telling you that you had a virus?  I just deleted that one.  So not clicking on his link.  I love how the "admin" of this site changed names and has no posts. ::)

(reported it, too)

when we made the changes to the site to prevent spammers from posting right away, it undid the protection we had on PM limits.  So I put those limits back.  Kind of hate the PM spammers the most, because there's no easy way for me to remove them all, so we'll see people reporting those for ages.

Good..I was really worried that you would kick me off the site and tell my ISP on me that I had a virus....oh noes. ;D ;)
