Are we getting spammed? What are all the "Watch Free on Wednesday" posts?

[Bob357]

Been a lot of that the last couple of days. Think they took care of it earlier this afternoon.

Not all of it. I just saw two more. Moderating a forum like this is a challenging and thankless task.

I came home after work and tried to get on the forum and there was a message that read "Sorry HopDen, you are banned from using this forum!"
SPAMMER
This ban is not set to expire

After seeing all of the sexually explicit spam that has been off and on the last few months, I wonder if somehow my email acct used for the HBA was hacked.

I immediately made a phone call and within an hour or so the issue was corrected.

I was also banned this afternoon, but I guess it's fixed now

Same ban here.

I have been deleting 10 or 12 at a time. Today I said "Enough!". I had never banned anyone, but this was ridiculous.

I had been day drinking down in Austin, love ABGB's lagers.
If I banned you, so sorry. I even managed to ban myself. True story. Not the stupidest thing I've done by a long shot, but crap.

Maybe I should read the manual on baning an account?

[hopfenundmalz]

Man, I was just baning the spam ones. I thought. I only did two or three before I banned myself.

Denny and Duncan to the rescue.

[hopfenundmalz]

I just deleted another post. Didn't try to ban hammer it.

[tommymorris]

There’s a lot more. I tried to report them but I am not allowed to report them faster than once per 20 seconds and by the third one the app wanted my password. I gave up.

Looks like it easier to send spam than report it

[denny]

I've been spending hours a day trying to keep up with it. Jeff Rankert has, too. Remember, we're volunteers. We have lives outside the forum. We're doing what we can.

Jeez... good that things were fixed. Shame you had to waste an hour due to spammers.

Challenging, yes. Thankless, no. I appreciate keeping spammers out. Hopefully, others appreciate too.

Do'h!
