Yes, but sweatshops exist for that.

We're working on a way to block most of them. It's best to PM the admins with suggestions as to not have blocking methods be upfront.

I've been here all evening/night and while yes I'm not refreshing the page and paying full attention to the site every minute that goes on, I am taking care of the spam topics as they come in whenever I switch tabs.

This doesn't look good at all...

Well I do have to sleep sometime. I'm surprised nobody else has taken care of that during the day.

The pros of having no mods at night has revealed itself in bright lighting! The light shines brightly throughout the meadow; and it goes to show that there's only 2 active mods in general!!

And people are still replying to the spam bots for God knows why.

You can also get in trouble by responding to the bots, bc you did reply instead of reporting it.

Your attitude isn't helping anything.

Only done that when the spam bots first appeared. I haven't done that in a while now.

I'm on at night. Besides it's not as bad as you think. I've got some sick deals on ray bans and Jordans.

Huh, didn't know we shared such a similar trait.

So when are these bots gonna be removed?

YouTube · Postby **bossedit8** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:56 am

I know that this is kind of a curiosity of mine for that little info instead of being an issue as a whole but:

Episodes Forum wrote:This is the place to post your episode, and we'll consider it for inclusion on the main site.

This little message right here on the Episode Forum description:

Episodes Forum wrote:...and we'll consider it for inclusion on the main site.

What exactly does it mean by that? Does it mean that a few of those SMBX Episodes that we have are getting featured or is there something I don't really know about? Also, if that's the case of adding them into the main site of the featured SMBX Episodes, on the Graphics Forum it doesn't describe it of adding them on the main site of the featured Graphics as you can see here:

Graphics Forum wrote:This is the place for custom SMBX graphics.

About the issue though, we still getting spammed in the General Forums about the same type of thing and also, I do realize that even their Messages Looks so similar and their usernames makes it obvious like it's always 8 random letters and 2 random numbers but I don't think that's relevant to have right here.

There's now a whole page of new spam in "General", sigh.
I wish I would be a GMod.

Yup... I see several spam posts. I wish there was a spam deleting group...

That's a lame excuse that you've recycled a dozen times over.

Also how is it not helping? Did him just by saying that cause so much trouble to the entire staff team that he actually put a stop to the work they should be doing in trying to get rid of and prevent these spambots? It's a lame excuse and using it over and over again for whatever you please is starting to cause it to wear thin, how about you actually do some work instead of search for the people who are saying things against you just so you can tell them their attitude isn't helping, because from what I've seen the only progress that has been made so far is the deletion of some of the spambots and their posts, nothing else has happened, unless you'd care to elaborate on that, and if you do that, please elaborate on how peoples' attitude isn't helping anything, such as your ability to perform tasks such as dealing with spambots and creating measures to prevent the spambots from even setting foot here.

I think Joey was more referring to his tone than the point itself, because his post was pretty snide to be honest.

Yet still, there have been plenty of other snide posts around this forum, and he only takes to replying to the ones that are directly aimed at the staff or himself, or are from people that he doesn't generally care for. Yeah, sure, there can be some users you don't particularly care for on this forum, but you don't have to go out of your way to treat them indifferently from the other users, because that can start something. If the snide comments really bothered Joey, he should have replied to a lot of the other snide comments, not just specific ones. Or, better yet, he shouldn't have replied to them at all, because his replies aren't helping anything either.

Unfortunately I doubt there's any way to actually prevent this one old guy from venting on us :/

I don't want to mention his name because I don't want to sound like a traitor to him, since he and I are actually kind of cool with each other on the occasion that we cross paths.
not that I'd actually be a PART of this spam montage because srsly what would I ever have to gain from assisting in spamming like that

Mable · Postby **Mable** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:52 pm

So, you know him, you both cool together, and you don't wanna tell us his name. I can understand if you don't want that. But whats the motive behind it? ProjectSolaflare reborn 10/5
