Spammers on Steepster

Literally the first 3 pages of the forums are spam threads. What do we do? Report them all one by one?

Yeah, it seems like the spammer problem is just getting worse and worse.

connect said 11 years ago

Totally agree!

Ost said 11 years ago

Seems like other forums usually have mods who take care of spammers…not sure who does that here?

Tea Pet select said 11 years ago

Oh gosh… that was really terrible. I’m sorry guys! All of the users who just spammed the site have been deleted.

madametj select said 11 years ago

and theyre not even good spammers like if you’re going to spam at least make it something cool like porn or drugs

Stephanie select said 11 years ago

LOL

TeaNecromancer select said 11 years ago

or at least have it be relevant to the subject, tea spam would be annoying but at least it would make sense!

Mandy said 11 years ago

Or the less annoying ones that post one or two “articles” about clothes or moving or bipolar, instead of 50 movie spams in a row

Ost said 11 years ago

Shadowfall select said 11 years ago

Cripes. They’re back again. OO gets out the flamethrower
Where the heck are they coming from lately? I thought it was (fairly) complicated/human necessary to sign up for an account?

KiwiDelight said 11 years ago

Better get out the dragons – they just won’t quit O.o

apt said 11 years ago

one of the spammers is named joerogan this is hilarious

lolainred said 11 years ago

now they’re replying to themselves….

Lariel of Lórien select said 11 years ago

Where do they keep coming from?

Cwyn said 11 years ago

They are probably bot programs.

Marzipan select said 11 years ago

I can’t remember, is there a captcha used on the sign up? That might help.

Arshness said 11 years ago

And they’re back again.

TheTeaFairy said 11 years ago

Can’t the Tea Justice League do something about this????

TheTeaFairy said 11 years ago

I hate them…they spoil my morning reading :-(

Jen M said 11 years ago

you mean your morning reading doesn’t involve watching movies online? Pfft.

TheTeaFairy said 11 years ago

Exactly!!!

Jason admin said 11 years ago

Sorry about that, usually they don’t post as much as they have been recently. I removed all the ones I saw had posted today.

On an unrelated note, our search traffic for movies has jumped dramatically! :)

TheTeaFairy said 11 years ago

Haha! Thank you Jason!

Cheri select said 11 years ago

I do like tea and movies.

Thanks, Jason, for taking care of these.
