Sorry for latest burst of spam

Post by manuel_moe_g »

Sorry, these mega bursts of spam on the forum are growing faster than my ability to delete it all in a timely manner

hopefully it lets up, the forum administrator is very hard to contact and get him to do stuff, so i am hoping can keep up with the spam just deleting, and not have to install an anti-spam module for the bulletin board

Agree with Oak, Manny.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this noise. Not sure what the idea is.
It's always Russian, with no helpful translation for us potential customers :lol: and always hawking doors and windows last I checked.

Must be an automated signup process too.

If it gets down to it, maybe that BBS plugin is the way to go...

Well said.

And while I know this site in PHP, I’m not sure if it is WordPress.

If so, Akismet might be worth a try.

maybe i will use chatgpt to help me write polite email to Paul G. and the bbs administrator in Finland about the need to update the forum software and at same time install anti-spam module, especially for new account creation

i am on the autism spectrum and my writing has been described as <weird>, so i appreciate having chatgpt having my back on writing emails

(by the way, what do you guys think of my writing on the forum? is it weird?)

Manuel Moe, neither you nor your writing is weird.

Hello Manny,

No, not weird at all. Strange that someone should say that.
