Tommy Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 The staff is aware that there are currently spambots sending out private messages to random members here on the forum. We are actively dealing with the situation but if you happen to get one of those spam messages, please do not simply ignore or delete it but use the report system so that we can permaban every account responsible for these messages. Thank you for your patience! 10
Tripredacus Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 We are experiencing a new wave of spammers that is not unique to MSFN and is happening on other forums as well. These spammers will post about cryptocurrency. However, in addition to new users doing this, some of these spammers have been able to hijack or compromise existing user accounts and make a spam post. When we find an existing user that posts this type of spam, we will apply a 0 point warning on your account so that we can restrict posting. The warning reason will indicate that this has happened. Then you can PM the mod who sent you the warning and they will confirm that it is you and advise that you change your password. After this, the moderator can restore your posting ability. 7
Tripredacus Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Flood control enabled for users in the Members group. Sponsors and Developers are not effected by this change. If you are a Sponsor or Developer and get a message from the forum saying you cannot post, send to me a PM and I will take a look. Also make sure to not report all posts that a spammer makes. One of their posts is fine. You may not even have to report any of the posts during this current situation as we are going to be checking more often. 4
