Luigi Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Lovesun222 brings us Vaseline Gauze, Accessory Trays, Aluminum Composite Panels, Insect Killer, Titanium-Clad Copper Plates. It such an interesting array of ... Deus - Is that you? You're cleaning out the spam before I can make snarky comments about it all! But that proves that you're a hard-working Mediator of Meh.

Deus te Amat Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Now I’m sad I ruined all your fun. Maybe I’ll go unban them so they can post more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banned/deleted permanently? Any username associated with spam gets banned permanently. The problem comes when spammers post in Catholicism Q&A, because you don't need to sign in to post there. Unfortunately the phorum doesn't seem to have a tool to allow us to ban by IP address (or if there is, it's well-hidden - I've spent ages poking round the moderator control panel in frustration as I tried to figure out a way to do it).

Luigi Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 This spam was in Open Mic. It was harmless enough - just somebody trying to sell lots of weird stuff - mass quantities of specialized technical stuff from China. But there was a LOT of it.

Guest Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Spam seems to be in the Prayer Forum too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatitude Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I've cleaned a ton of spam out of Q&A lately, and now the prayer forum - one spammer dumped ten threads in there. I think we either need a way to ban by IP, or to make it obligatory to register to post in any forum. I don't know why it seems to happen in waves like this.

CatherineM Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I liked how they assumed we’d need pregnancy information on a Catholic site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Yearning Heart Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks Beatitude for all that cleaning up. Is it possible to moderate the first 1 or 2 posts? Might save a heap of deleting later. Yes, CatherineM, the spam I saw was completely useless. Even if I were a builder or random-material-buyer, I would source materials from my local store/area.
