When SPAM attacks!!

Options
:noway:

Waah so much spam this morning! I just had to take a screenshot and post it! This is page 1 of this forum. The ones I've made darker are genuine posts, all the rest are spam (yes I've reported them all).

I like to browse the forums and usually refresh the page every so often to see the recent posts, but everytime I refreshed more of the page filled with spam! It seemed like a joke at first! :laugh:

    Reporting the spam has become my morning workout. I need to remember to stretch out my "Report Post" finger so I don't pull a muscle.

    I think you have to resize on photobucket or wherever your photo is.

    (So nearly pressed report post by accident instead of quote because I've gotten so used to reporting today!)

    I'm sad, because SOMEONE here must be giving them money, hence giving them incentive to continually post.

    Seriously, STOP giving them money, people, and they'll go away. Either that, or they are very stupid wasting their time, are bad business people, and their children are going hungry. Please, someone! Think of the children, give these people some money to feed those starving babies!

    HA! I do that sometimes when I want to reply to someone -- why is that option right by the "Quote" option?

    I grabbed the pic off some random website. Maybe I need to start a tumblr or something with all the gifs/pics I like. Wait. That would be admitting I have an MFP forum problem...

    I actually opened a photobucket account just to post this screenshot! :ohwell:

    ETA: Looks like the forum's been cleaned up already. Those moderators are quick!

    I found the one about getting poop on my teeth rather amusing. This happens throughout the night. Every night, from what I've seen. Spam-bots?

    Its usually an automated sign up macro running.... I don't remember MFP having captcha or another anti bot registration feature.
