Has anyone else noticed the increase of spam posts here lately??
I don't know that I've ever seen so many at SSD.

Are you considering "wall sex standing" spam? I found it informational.



Yeah, it's crazy. Worse first thing in the morning, I think.

Since I come on the site during your night, it's indeed worse then!

I really wonder what they are trying to accomplish! Isn't it weird?

It's crazy how active the spammers have gotten! I belong to another very small site, and they've been getting slammed, too. And my email! I've had to set up a whole new set of filters already this year . . . don't these people have anything more productive to do with their time?

I was also wondering something about these posts. Whenever I see one, I just add that person to my "Ignore" list, but I've noticed on a few threads that someone has posted "Reported". If you're the first person to see a post by one of these people, how do you go about reporting it?

It goes in cycles around here. We'll get hit hard, and then it dies off for a while.

The easiest way to report Spam is to click on the red exclamation triangle in the upper right corner of a post.

DUH! Thanks, Colleen . . . since I've never reported a post of any kind, I've never even paid attention to that little triangle!

We get to them as quickly as we can, but still have to sleep sometimes

Never thought of reporting them (which definitely will speed up the process of getting them removed!) Will do so in the future!

Totally have to sleep sometimes, Darcy. The powers that be are doing a GREAT job of keeping it off when they can.

It seems like SO much of it is appearing!!! Gracious! And they're all different- fashion one day, then sex, or medication.... sad!

I was SO disappointed the other day when I realized that SSD was NOT going to be selling penis enlargement pills! I just think it's wrong of them to tease us like that. ; )

Oh Kellie...maybe you can talk one of the designers into it LMAO!!!

I can only delete the SPAM in certain forums and I'm trying to get any first thing in the AM in those forums if Darcy doesn't get to them first.

I've reported the ones that I've seen - what do you want us to write in the "reason for reporting"? Do you even read them, maybe I'll write a little love note sometime. haha

I write spam, or spam-a-lot, or spam-a-lam-a-ding-dong, or some other ridiculous thing that pops into my head, lol.

DH joked that I needed to make sure to buy that kit so he could have them. I was like, uh no. I can't handle that.

I think the reporting emails are sporadic too..like I saw a few say "reported" on some and i never got the email...I try and clean it in the am when I get on if Darcy hasn't beat me to it lol

I feel like a deleting fool the last few days though..every time i'm on (which isn't all that often lately) there's some spam

LOL, just for kicks then, maybe I should start a thread that says "SPAM HERE!! SPAM HERE!!!" and it opens to a delicious recipe featuring Spam. Or a review of Spam-A-Lot. Or lyrics to the Spam Song.
