KD. Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 We have been getting too many of these accounts being made: Cactawdafecam Is it possible for mods or whoever to have to accept registrations before people start posting to avoid these things from happening?

jw1739 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Tell me more by PM or something. I'm computer literate but completely bewildered by what you're saying. Are you saying my e-mail address book has been accessed or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD. Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Your name was mentioned in one of their posts. Same with HeartinHobart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) OK, I can only apologise but I am not aware that I have done any browsing or other activity that might have lead to this. About 12-18 months ago I had another e-mail address that was compromised, and it took me three days or so to get around that and the mailbox in question was subsequently deleted. At the time I also changed to Google Chrome rather than IE. I have security running all the time. Edit: Just checked my security record. A virus called "Exploit" was detected and removed on 20th November. Maybe that's the cause? All for registration, passwords etc. etc. if this will help protect the Forum from unwanted activity.

Tesla Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I didn't see the post in question, as I just deleted all the posts made by each spammer at once, but I don't think you have anything to worry about jw. I think they might just be mentioning random usernames to appear more legitimate rather than as spammers (even though it's still very obvious to everyone lol).I'm looking into the spammer issue now and I'll see what can be done.

Shahanga Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Actually searching the web for "hot russian women" would have been a lot more fun than watching last week's match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
