Gosh don't people have better things to do then pull crap like this? Definitely a good case that one cannot post to threads without; first 10 or so posts being monitored before being put up or paying for a premium account. Idiots won't shell out money to post nonsense spam or wait to be stopped dead in their tracks... They'll just move on

And yet, an hour later they're still at it. :(

Notice how you can now read some of the Korean and …Thai? It means those character sets have been activated. All in the name of some opi. Are any of the mods on as well? Isn't that a little unusual that they aren't?

Surely this is just a robot and has nothing to do with any FAA member?

 

Vanessa Bates

The posts are probably automatic, yes.

Please excuse my naivete, but I cannot understand what possible motive one might have for these spam, is that the word, posts.

It's not a robot.

The problem is there is no dedicated "live" support. This site relies on its members to answer questions. If there was live support then you add some safegurads to the forum for example having someone wait 24 hours before posting.

Edward, you can, after setting up an account, set up a routine that will help you post content automatically—but yes, very likely the individual or individuals behind the posting were real.

Peter, it was probably for backlinks to their site. If you report their youtube channel for suggestive content, you might be able to get them removed there too.

20 pages of spam in a couple hours, it's gotta be some sort of auto spammer.

Maybe it's the same damn "people" that visit one particular image of mine, practically everyday for the past month, and are still doing it:

The ip for their web page originates from the US, but beyond that, couldn't it be from anywhere?

As far as their youtube goes, if you type in youtube's adress before this part, /channel/UCT25C_uQcANbtJW_HDXTt4w, you might be able to take down their channel as well.

Kind of strange where I click on the first, most recent "Bam Ya" name and it brings up the page for Chibu Ofu. Not naming and shaming, just stating what I see.

 

Vanessa Bates

8 Years Ago

Maybe it's less to do with the person and more to do with an IP of the service these folks are using.

 

Greg Jackson

Good point, Vanessa. I'm guessing it's probably the former poser/multiple personality "member" that got banned who has found a new way to spam the site. Just pure speculation on my part, but I bet the perp is also sitting back reading these posts right now. They're not private, so anyone can log-on and see them. Hence, another reason to make the forums private and not open to general public viewing.

 

Vanessa Bates

8 Years Ago

Oh yes, Greg, you're probably right about the reading part. But they were also interested in advertising their web page dedicated to opi, gangnam style and otherwise. They hit msn with the same posts as well.

Greg-

Agree....make all discussions private.

Greg, I think that's a glitch with FAA, I clicked on someone's avatar recently and it took me to the page of the person who had a post above them.

 

Joy McKenzie

8 Years Ago

Melissa, thd same thing happened to me two days ago...but only if I clicked on the avatar on the main page. Once I was on the actual post page with the question or comment and replies, clicking on that same person's avatar brought me to the right person's page. I thought it was a fleeting glitch and didn't report it.

OK, now that the Caped Crusader has come to the rescue, I suppose it's time to close this.
