MannInBlackk Spam

#1 Post by Alastair » Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:07 am

It's possible that most if not everyone on this forum has received a private message from "MannInBlackk." This is spam, whatever you do, do not click on the link in that message.

Yeah just got one and sent a copy of it to the boss. Then thought I would look to see if it had been mentioned here. I always do things the wrong way round, thats why I struggle with adventures :)

Well, mr. ManninBlackk has gone the way of the dodo.

Really annoying, though, as we haven't had an influx of spammers for quite some time.

Well, I'll be upgrading the forum software soon, anyway - hopefully it'll be more efficient at holding those morons at bay (shesh, who am I kidding?? ;))

Ironically, the message from this forum saying I had a PM was kicked to my webmail spam, so I didn't see it til--it was already taken care of. Good work there.

I'm sure hat some people will be sorry to miss out on all the exciting spam action, but for the rest of us, yeah, sometimes a spam filter is just what the doctor ordered ;)

Haven't had time to update phpbb yet due to work. It's at the top of my to-do list.
