Sherman Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Alright, we just had a spam attack by multiple people. I am, thanks to Skyline, cleaning up the mess using his account, and suspending the members as I go. If there is ever a spam attack like this, please refrain from posting. Keeping the recent posts all by the spammers makes the clean up easier. Thank you for your time, and thank you Skyline for offering your account for the clean up process. Much appreciated.

Spaz The Great Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 "DA PENIS" has been flooding my PM box for the past 30 minutes or so. If you have recently PMed me, I'd appreciate it if you re-PMed me in the case that I might've deleted your PMs. To prevent any confusion, that was me using Skyline's account. Thanks again.

Vincent Valentino Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 In my opinion you should recruit more moderators to help in situatuions like this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 In my opinion you should recruit more moderators to help in situatuions like this.... Actually, that went pretty smoothly. We also just now recruited two mods. They weren't on, unfortunatly. If the two new mods((Jason and Earthbound, yay for them!)) were on we would've had it cleaned up within 2 minutes.

Bryzed Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Damn you spaz, you didnt comment on my post! Anyways, thats the point, if everyone lives in the same GMT, there will be a time where the site will be more vulnerable, you should make the staff from everywhere, to cover most time zones... get it?(comment on my post above too! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Yeah, like me, after all, im beeing a model member!!! Aint i?(please comment on this, ) You are some-what a model member. But you flip out on people easily. Anyways, thats the point, if everyone lives in the same GMT, there will be a time where the site will be more vulnerable, you should make the staff from everywhere, to cover most time zones... get it?(comment on my post above too! ) Chris lives in the UK, I live in Florida((USA)). I'm not sure where Skyline lives but I believe he lives in the US. I'm almost always on, so I pretty much patrol the boards 24-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Valentino Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) I have experienced first hand one of your spaz attacks bryzerd ..just try to melo out. Edited April 12, 2005 by Crimson Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Well, that happens everywhere once in a while I dont think is a big deal and everything was cleared in no time. With 2 mods in the UK and 2 more in USA, and some others I dont know where, the job can be done, and it wont be so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those spammers and their posts were gone in no time, while I was being PM-attacked. If we have like 4-5 mods on and Chris, they'd have to bring like a giant gang of spammers to get anywhere.

Chrisman Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I live near the UK actually i'm 1 hour infront of the UK and i've been here for long, so maybe i can be a mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Yeah, like me, after all, im beeing a model member!!! Aint i?(please comment on this, ) You have a short temper and flip out too easily as Spaz said. I live near the UK actually i'm 1 hour infront of the UK and i've been here for long, so maybe i can be a mod? But you're only 12 and too immature in my opinion, at the moment. Besides, Denmark is only an hour in front of me so we are mostly on at the same times. Currently we have staff in quite seperated timezones, which is imperative for an international board like this.

mr man Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Damn spam attacks, but you're bound to get some if you have a site with forums, it's only normal really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And well, i suppose you know i can be a big model for people! right? ROLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Heh, np spaz. I'll do about anything to keep the site in line. And, hey. Giving hints you want to be a mod doesn't pull me on your side.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryzed Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Yeah, i kinda thought so, its stupid. Anyways, i would like to be one, but i dont really care, as i know i can still contribute as a member. Anyways, lets go back to topic. Spam attacks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Bryzed, when every recent post was by DA PENIS, I think it was a BIT obvious. And you weren't the only one trying to tell me to clean it up. Crimson IMed me about it. Of course, that was half-way into the cleanup process.

Spaz The Great Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 It had nothing to do with the spam attacks, so what was the point in posting here? You DO realise Chris is capable of answering the same, and more, questions I am, right? It was server problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Valentino Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 You know your chances of becoming a mod increase if you dont ask they will choose a new mod when they are ready . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
