Oh Those Russians.....

Postby Cerberus » Fri Nov 22, 2013 9:54 am

As you may have noticed the Kitchen Mafia have slowed down a bit but since mid-day yesterday they have been replaced by those pesky Russians.

Since my ding-a-ling can achieve firmness without chemical assistance I have deleted all their adverts so far.

The quickest and easiest way to get rid of this rather concerted and focused spam attack is to set the new user registrations to manual authorisation.
So I have taken that step.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

No inconvenience really, I think most people expect that anyway :thumb:

Do we get a message to say people are waiting?

We should do. But judging by the last avalanche of spam I've clicked the wrong button.... grr

Found the problem. I have set new registrations to manual authorisation and deleted all the fake accounts that were inactive.

But I missed the boat load of accounts they had activated last week. Sleeper cells!

They are gone now. That should be the last of them.... for now....

The obvious spammers have been removed....

That leaves me with two hundred and sixty six accounts that have been created but have zero posts.....

Some of them look like folks who joined but just haven't gotten around to posting yet. The majority of them look like fraudulent sleeper spam accounts.

There's no easy way to tell......

I'm going to dust off and nuke them all from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.......

It's tough, but some sacrifices do have to be made!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
Torque is how far you send the wall across the field once you've hit it.
