Leadon77 94 Posted November 14, 2012 So I'm just wondering is it me or is the amount of spam and frequency increasing here lately? Just a question, and yes mods I whole heartedly agree if this goes straight to the graveyard...I was just wondering since I'm seeing more here lately than I ever have noticed before. Thanks...

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted November 14, 2012 Nope, it's not just you, the bots are attacking us en masse. Rest assured though that the web devs are working their magic behind the scenes and it should be dealt with fairly soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Warden 90 Posted November 14, 2012 Same. I've been noticing an increase (not a huge amount but an increase nonetheless) but personally they aren't a problem to me as i just ignore them.If a thousand posts were being made every minute by spambots then it would be a different story!

Mos1ey 6301 Posted November 14, 2012 It's really helpful if people hit the 'report' button when they see a spam post, helps us delete the post and ban the user ASAP. Big thanks to everyone that already does! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossums 2190 Posted November 14, 2012 Definitely a huge increase in spam.I easily do 10+ reports per day without specifically even looking for anything - it's crazy.Maybe if some additional verification was added on the sign-up page it might tone down the bots.

blunt_zephyr 51 Posted November 14, 2012 This is the only Spam i accept!Classic Benny Love the one where he asks his elderly father to get "two ores" for a rowboat and the father comes back with 2 bar-gals :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Warden 90 Posted November 14, 2012 but me an Mr Flibble will crush it all, won't we Mr Flibble?We'll fry them alive with our hex vision!Well you will i'll just push the report button and go roleplay me being an admin putting the hammer down on all spammers, the Spam Hammer that is! (seriously a giff needs to be made about Thor and Captain America in that scene in The Avengers with Thor weilding the spam hammer and Capt being a bot, you know where he says "i'll put the hammer down!"). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
