Ive been seeing a lot of spam lately, they make throw away accounts, link to "frontier academy" and never use the accounts again. They make their post look legit by copying what people have said in the past.

"I dont think they are a member here." is said a lot.

I think its kind of interesting that they steal our posts to make it legit, though I know that probably isnt very helpful info.

Anyways, maybe new users should have to fill out a captcha for the first 50 posts?

 

I've noticed that a lot recently also and have been reporting the posts as spam as I see them.

Same formula every time: short sentence followed by a "broken" image.

The images are always hosted at some poker review site or frontier academy. Makes me wonder if they're just trying to drive up traffic to their site, or if those images have some evil malware embedded in them.

 

Thanks for reporting the spam. Just keep reporting it as you see it - staff will delete the posts and ban the screen name.


Unfortunately we can only be reactive to it as opposed to proactive. I've deleted more than a dozen of these spamming SN's since the new year - way more than usual.


Hopefully no one is giving the rat bastards any clicks to their links.

 

doing that now, never used report before. I noticed that Edmuund made his posts without the links first, then edited the links in
