cjloki Posted January 22 Posted January 22 good grief ! we're getting totally blasted by spam and garbage posts this week waht the hell... is there anything we can do to stop it or at least slow it down ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I've sent messages and gotten no replies. I just keep FAS and then do the warnings. Luckily the spammers take a break on the weekends. Mondays are the worst and some days arent so bad. I check almost every morning and delete what i see. The "dshas;asngagggn g;lkasklgakssakjg " post are the worst and so pointless.... Not sure why they do those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Honestly I stopped looking at posts and replying. Its all spam these days. The forums should be closed. RIP OCC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I just dont think there are any active Admins that are implementing the latest in Spam controls. I am not seeing the same issues on other forums I moderate. I am going to reach out to Dave and see what he's up to these days. I know he was real active and on top of things and so was Tim. I believe Tim has moved on and is pretty busy working at Epic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjloki Posted February 24 Posted February 24 that's a real good idea doc... hopefully they're still alive and well. Do kindly pass on our regards if you make contact Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted March 16 Posted March 16 The spam is getting worse and nobody seems to be keeping on top of it. Does nobody care these days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check most times daily but I do take days off. I havent checked in a few days and it shows. I am considering quitting the forums because of it. Other forums I moderate have better spam controls and I do not see but one a week versus 20+ daily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_bowtie Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Not sure. seems like a gimmicky update thing. silly if you ask me. It's like a posting award LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted March 23 Posted March 23 I think this will be my final post on OCC. I wish the best for the people who are sticking around! I has been a fun number of years, but the decline here is slow and not much new content to read. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
