Ads

Post by cosninocanines »

Do you really need the columbian.com singles. Just wondering where your taking the advertising and what to expect, niece and nephew help me find where to go. Just want to be sure I won't see worse so they don't see worse.
Times Fun when your having Flies!

Ya never know when you're gonna travel to Columbia :o Right... :lol:

Anyhow, I just took a look at the Allow & block ads section the ad broker provides and have blocked ads for dating services, and sexually suggestive ads. We'll see what that does.

Too bad those settings don't block robo-spam posts! :o I think this ^^^ (BDSM Blog, Post by ofeliaxx16 » Thu 21 Nov 2013 16:32) is the fourth or fifth I've seen pop up here on the fora. :evil:

Edit: Nevermind, make that the 9th or 10th spam post. Those robospammers must have figured out how to automatically Google the anti-muggle question. I'd volunteer to moderate the forums and clean these things off as soon as they appear, if needed. I typically check in for new posts once or twice a day unless I'm out of town.

Those didn't include the ones I deleted earlier today either. I also deleted about a dozen new accounts then. Then there was 48 more accounts this evening. At least I now know how to delete them all at once instead of one at a time. I'm wondering if there'll be a 100 more accounts added... :evil:

I think I know the answer already, but it would be nice if the forum registration process was tied to creating an account on the main site including registering the GC.com Live API. Or maybe people can still register on the forums, but their posts have to be approved by a moderator unless they have also registered on the site with the API. But I don't think PHPBB can do that. Harder anti-muggle questions?

Well, not quiet 100, but 74. I updated the questions so hopefully that will stop this spate of spam bot users and posts.
