Question/Message to the Moderators - How can we stop people spamming our forum with TV/Movie promotions?

[#1]

These tv/movie promotions are not needed in this forum

yes i dont know how some spammers create 8-9 threads in just 2 minutes :smileygrin:

it might be the same IP address but just creating multiple users so they can SPAM this forum. the limit on how many threads a user can create in certain amount of minutes might work, although I've seen some spamers post new threads not one after the other but within 10-15min of each thread but for the most part your idea should work

oh yes you are right..they can have new names..but will surely use the same computer and ip address

you know what i was happy after watching 1 spam :smileygrin:

i mean it was a new season of my favorite show..

but the link he gave dint work :smileyangry::smileyangry:

now i wont click on random links..

today was the first time i clicked just to watch my favorite show..

I think it would also be possible to use different IP addresses ie different computers to achieve their aims.

Yes the time limit constraint may work to slow down the SPAM from a particular username but if multiple different names are used, then it will probably still be up to the forum participants in general to report this.

be careful with those links, they seem to be phishing and/or spyware

Yes We are still figuring this out

Ok. That's good.
