Apologies to you the members for the recent spam attacks, (the most I’ve seen in years). Needless to say, it’s forum-wide, but thankfully we’re dealing with.
best,

Thanks JD....not a problem.

Need to get out your electric cattle prod to use on the spammers.

This is one of four forums I visit daily that is on the Vertical Scope platform. This month every one of them has suddenly been hammered with spammers. I am also on at least six other forums which are not on Vertical Scope, and none of them have. It's probably a coincidence, I just find it odd so I'm tossing it out there. I know when some of my forums migrated away from Tapatalk because it had similar issues.

The “ignore” selection works well for spammers…

VS owns around 1000 forums, and creates new forums regularly, so when spammers do occasionally hit, they tend to exploit something forum-wide. It’s being dealt with.

Well nobody has tried to sell me airline tickets in awhile, so...

That was actually the largest coordinated attack I’ve ever seen, and I was out of the country.

Normally I would’ve caught much of it before it hit the forum, but that’s how it went.

Big thanks to the 2 Tech SuperMods for the help!
