spam bombs
 

Looks like spam bombs have been going off last couple days!
Do they really think a site called racing junk is going to get a lot of bites using ugg boots and louie v hand bags! As bait.

I don't know, but they have ruined the entire forum.

yep.... the powers that be need to fix the issue quick.... im about to log out and check back in a few days to see if they got it fixed... cant even enjoy the site anymore..... :( :x

enough is enough.....there was about 6 more that just posted... im out of here for now... i'll check back in a few days :?

Hang in there vega, Bjuice looks like hes got his hands full with all of it. I was so pissed off too about it the other day.

Got that Right Wazup..thanks for the support...sort of chaps my a$$ a little when I am working like a mule and read on a post what I just read.....just saying !

I been keeping everyone informed ( see thread below) as to what I am doing..sorry of its not good enough for some but its the best I got.....Forum clean as of 8:07 pm

Brian keep doing what you are doing! Hopefully the powers that be can tell you what has changed to let all the crap flow in like it has all week.

The little box you had to check before a post is gone. Could that have kept the spam bots out before?

I dunno Rabbit...I don't think so...that box was to accept Liability in order to make a post. Like I said in my other thread the forum configuration is still set up that anyone who registers has to type that Crazy Code ( Pattern) so its telling me a person is signing on ( best guess) not automation computer......so that being the case they could still check the box and make the post if the check box was still active ( again best guess)...all they are doing is copying and pasting their post to different threads..again another sign its a person cause you have to manually go from one section to another. ( common forum navigation to us all that have been here for any length of time)
It will be handled one way or another....I know of 50-60 spammer IP addresses that can No longer access the site..maybe they will get another computer or go somewhere else to post but they ain't coming back the way they came the 1st time...

I have no idea why an idiot would waste their time doing stuff like that. There has to be a reason they do it.

Anyway THANKS BJ.


Harbone shot the spammer not the poor dog. He probably doesn't like them either!

$$$$$$$$....they probably get paid for the number of 'posts' they successfully post....Their rate of return has to be near zilch ! :roll: :roll: :roll:

I have always thought the links they provide were straight to virus central.

Glad you guys got it all fixed up :D

damn fastvega, the boss is bustin his ass here to get things straight. we are suppose to have each others back here! go on about it boss im with you all the way!!

I don't think fastvega meant anything personal. It was really bad this weekend. Almost every thread was full of the spam and i mean FULL of it. I was also about ready to give it up for a few days until bj and top sportsman got it fixed. I'm not knocking those guys because i know they just couldn't keep up with the amount that was getting on here and as fast as it was happening.
We seam to be back to normal (Whatever that may be. lol) now and for the first time in while the forum is pretty active with all sorts of questions and comments.

dude, there was nothing said that was directed at brian or tom... the whole problem was higher up then the mods here. i was a mod on a few different sites... i know what is involved when it comes to dealing with stuff like this and know it was beyond what brian and tom could do on this end....the longer you let spam bots into the site... the more you will get cause they send the info to other bots to post here too and even though they were working their ass off at removing them as fast as they could... their are millions of them out there and its like pissing into the wind if you dont fix the security issue that is allowing them in to begin with :wink:

i know there wasnt anything thrown thier way fastvega but i quess it just hit me wrong or maybe it was the way i read it.i at first kinda took it to read f...you im out of here..still knida reads that way. anyway if i took it wrong then im sorry.and brother that aint something i say to much.oh yeah and jeff bridges is the dude not me! lol

Come on guy's play nice, and they were annoying as hell, kinda like someone dumping mud in our sandbox. :)

i was thinking more of someone taking a dump in my sandbox... lol

i just really hate spammers.... they need to be tared and feathered :wink:

x2 :) :)

I don't think they get paid by how many post they create, but everytime someone clicks on the site that they posted, then they get paid for the click. They will eventually just go away if no one clicks on the site posted. I don't think anyone on this forum will be clicking on anything that they have posted.

JMO

Zip.

We ALL good my Brothers....you know you are good friends when something can bother you and you and the other RJ forum Buddy can work it out.

I know Bone wouldn't mind me saying this....I have seen Chris get his A$$ chapped in the past and He let me know about it...LOL. and we got right thru and went on with it.....LOL :shock: :D ...I respect him for it and consider him a friend like many of you...thats why we have a Great forum Base membership..

I am only sorry a select few from the past could not agree to disagree..we ALL could have been far better off if they could have stayed around and taken things a little more in stride...

My hats off to all you guys for being MEN...and I strongly urge you guys to Vent it out if something bothers you with me or the forum or another member, also understand if I slip a little something in there don't get huffed about it...I know I am an Administrator on this board and well aware I have to show a little more restraint in some areas but rest assure when some outsider comes in here screwing with my Men..I am prepared to go in 1st....normally I end up sweeping up the pieces after you guys are done....lol....I WOULD NOT WANT YOU GUYS ON MY CASE IF I WERE SOMEONE COMING IN HERE LOOKING FOR TROUBLE....JEEEEEEZZZZZ....





thanks

You are correct Brian and sometimes we all have to step back and take a breathe, I know that I have more than once!
We all should know better than to think a few spammers are going to ruin this forum, its roots run way to deep.

Well said Juice. Wisdom in those words. I wish I could live by the words of the Bible that say: "Listen my brothers & sisters, you must be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger"... but I am a work in progress still... occasionally my mouth wanders the wrong way. Its all good; everyone here is united well.... as friends should be.

Leave it up to DD to keep up the post. DD you are to much sometimes but i love it keep them coming.

lets update the song dd, i was havin fun fun fun till her daddy took the CHALLENGER away, THEN i dumped her!!!
