Look at all Paul G's threads he rates them all 5 star. When what he really means is '5 Star Bars that I ate today munch munch' :popcorn: :preggers: |
Always makes me laugh when Tom tries to answer a techincal question... Poor boy
Its nothing to do with the thread rating.
These spammers simly latch onto a forum via a simple search bot, which ever thread they enter on, will then get logged in there lists as a forum they "know off"
Then then mass spam these forums with bots which simply connect to the site, fill out a registration, ping the email they are sent to activate the account then post the message.
They will contunie to spam the thread untill it it closed or deleted, or until they update there board lists/urls.
Im working on various ways to decrese the amount of spam we get.
