We Are Under Attack

Postby J » Sun Dec 14, 2014 2:03 pm

In the past week or so our fora have been subjected to a series of disturbing messages discussing obscure computer codes or illicit advertisements for products that are best discussed with one's doctor. Some have been inserted into threads that have lain dormant for months. One of these series of messages even caused one of our most respected members to propose marriage. In conclusion, can anyone deny that these messages and their numerous web links they contain will only lead to mischief, disappointment or worse?

Are these coming from North Korea? Jet photos.net? It doesn't matter. We can only fight back if we work together. Here is my plan:

- ask our moderator to refuse new members for a short time
- refuse to respond to any of these messages in any matter other than ridicule
- if you have not been banned, forward these messages to the other website
- wash hands frequently when visiting thus site

In solidarity,
J

I found this thread on page 7 of "new posts". Que fait la police?

Bump again (from Page 7)

The attacks seem to be coming faster and faster. We're being drowned by bogus messages. These bots are even replying to their own messages. Is this the end of our glorious Forum?

Monchavo center...Cessna 71h, 450 miles northeast of the Sweet Monkey River VOR...the thread icing has subsided some, but not completely and we are not receiving transmissions. I guess we don't need an emergency right now, but would appreciate vectors to a precautionary landing....how do you hear?

Your voluntary efforts to manage this old home (and huge efforts to revive and clean it up from crashes and attacks fairly promptly) are understood and appreciated...

...and hell, it doubles the traffic from our 5 or so active, honest members...

Thanks again.

Monchie:

Have we turned the "automatic join up thingie" back on?

Or do we have a LOT of 'members; who have been lurking for a LONG time and suddenly want to sell software, drugs, concert tickets, etc.?

I have disabled automatic registration. The spammers are increasingly using humans to defeat captchas.

The only feasible option is to make the board invite only, which involves publishing an email address for people to apply to for registration.

THIS IS A MAJOR BALLACHE
