Holyssa Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but there's been a flood of VERY NSFW stuff in the sub-sections above us, some of which probably contains very nasty surprises. Are measures being taken to snuff out these spambots before they plague the other areas of the forums? Just remember to watch what you click folks. With the expansion/patch weeks away, maggots of all kinds will be attempting to steal your info. And I highly suggest you keep checking the page which sells Blizzard Authenticators. They've been re-stocked a LOT more frequently than when they first appeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, this crap is in areas of the boards that only moderators have power over. That being said, I can't do anything. I called Vrugz today, and he's going to try to get rid of it ASAP. Sometimes crap gets through... I just hate to see it be so bad. Hopefully, we'll get it resolved shortly! Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Holy! This is definitely not what T.H.E. wants on their website. - Bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldonnis Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) They got around it. I just deleted several pages worth of "replies" in one of the beta threads and locked a thread temporarily since more were being added faster than I could delete them.

Perthes Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Perhaps some of us ganked some alliance n00b in the Crossroads and this is their only way of getting revenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Deleted topics/posts. Banned the bot accounts. Disabled email registration approval. Registration now requires email approval and admin approval. Recently Captcha was cracked across many different sites (including google's gmail and microsoft). There was a patch released today for these forums to combat this issue. I'll apply that next week (may require a change to the forum template).

Waldonnis Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I was just looking at some news about that as well. *sighs* I unlocked the thread I had locked earlier as well, since things look to be more under control now. I'll keep an eyeball on the beta section for more...after my nap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balandar Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 If anyone has tried to register in the past week or so, please have them try again. I had about 300+ registrations and 99.9% of them were bots. I likely deleted a few legitimate registrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
