Mahone Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I wonder if this was a result of banning a certain member who wasn't very happy about the ban. Quote
Gwen Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 i doubt it. there are ppl that just have nothing better to do in life than spam forums. sad existence huh? Quote
lilered Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I guess I don't understand fully why someone would get on a church site and spread evil things. It seems to me that a person would have to be influenced by evil. It can't be they believe it is humerous can they? Quote
ryanh Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Often, these types of spamming are simply forms of advertising. It is about $$$. Quote
Moksha Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I am happy the Mod Squad patrol rushed to the scene and cleared the debris before rush hour. Quote
Mahone Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Usually the money related spam is links to webpages, their purpose is primarily SEO. From the little I saw of the spam yesterday (I was at work so only saw a couple of brief posts via e-mail) it was designed to be vulgar. The words were carefully chosen to attempt to cause as much offense as possible, due to the nature of this forum. The links were pictures, as opposed to webpages, and they were also just as vulgar - from what I saw, there were no real benefits to the culprits other than trying to cause offense. Looking at the differences in time between the posts, it would suggest it was done manually as opposed to a bot - contrary to how prolific spammers normally work. It looked to me like someone had a score to settle with this forum. It's not unusual by any means for websites devoted to such a controversial topic such as religion. You are right though, it is very sad whatever the reason. Quote
Maxel Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Sounds like Maya and Gwen earned their pay last night. Good job! Now if we can just get Pale and Ben to work a little harder....Wait... mods get payed?! I have a sudden passionate desire to become a moderator. Quote
pam Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Wait... mods get payed?! I have a sudden passionate desire to become a moderator. Wait...if they do..they owe me many years of back pay. Quote
Maxel Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Wait...if they do..they owe me many years of back pay.Well, you don't need it to get out of debt. Time to start that food storage! Quote
pam Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Hmmm good idea. Perhaps I need to bring that up. Maybe they could just pay me in #10 cans...with food in them of course. Quote
