New Spammer on PP

Hi All,

We are working on removing these posts and users as we find them.  There appear to be some people who's job it is to bypass the security measures to post this rubbish.  Now that the website / community is much more popular than before, these spammers find us to be more attractive for them to post too (as they think there will be more people reading their posts!)

Thanks for everyones help on this whilst we find a robust solution.

Thanks...PP Team

Dear All,

 

Most of the spam we are seeing on the boards contains links to a website called personalmoneystore.

 

We delete them when we see them, but please never click on a link in a thread unless you trust the poster, and certainly never click on a link to this personalmoneystore website.

 

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

 

What I've been doing when I find one of these is to right-click on the user name and 'copy shortcut', then past that shortcut into a PM to PP Admin. James usually responds within a day or so.

 

For info, James tells me the techy guys are looking into automated systems to block a lot of the spam that has been infesting the forums lately, which is apparantly a consequence of PP becoming more sucessful and getting better search engine results recently.

 

To members: If you notice any spam messages on the forums, please post a link to the thread here, and we'll delete the spam and request the user is blocked from the site.

 

Cheers,

 

G
