Spamers
 
Is there some way to block these idiots? I guess they think they're a riot puting porn on a forum dedicated to firearms. Yeah the whole joke about guns. Very funny.

If i'm a mod or admin, i'd get them off right away. Obviously the whoever is modding isn't doing their job

GM45 is the mod, if I remember correctly.

There is only one fucking mod in the entire forum. There are several admins though. But i don't think admins actually have any moderator powers in this forum.

By the way Jcordell, they are bots spamming links to other sites and viruses. Don't click in their threads. They aren't trolling.

Thanks. I won't do it NOW.

I contacted Bunni about this. I'm on the forum a lot more than John right now, so if I can get him to make me a Mod, I'll handle this.

We also really need anti-Spambot software.

I've made MT2008, Excalibur, and Alienqueen11 moderators on the forum in addition to GM45. We are running reCAPTCHA but the latest scheme is for these guys to hire actual human beings in 3rd world countries to decode the captcha for pennies, or fractions of a penny. It's insane.

Thanks, bunni, I'll do my best.

Thanks for the promotion, Bunni! I, too, pledge to do my best.
