Please Help Us Keep The Spammers Off The Forum Site!

[Granny B]

Okay Folks, we are all tired of the Spammers who got by the new member sign up requirements recently. The spammers have gotten on our site and spammed our members. 

One in particular has been banned for spamming then come back with a new name and signed up again.  That would be ManninBlackk and RazzorMann with an email heading of "Please, take into account.."

Whatever you do, don't open ANYTHING from him!  It could be a virus or spyware he is trying to put onto your computer.

He has been banned both times, but he could try to come back again under another name.  He will probably use the Mann + whatever moniker again.  If you will notice, he has used it in both ManninBlackk and RazzorMann.  So beware anything you get from this creep or another with Mann in it.

What you can do to help us police the spammers and get them off the site:

1.  Keep reporting them to us so we can ban them.

2.  Go to your profile and set your email address and personal info so it cannot be seen by other members.

3.  If you get suspicious spam from someone purporting to be a member, DO NOT OPEN IT!  IT COULD BE A VIRUS OR SPYWARE!

4.  Report them as Spammers to their Internet Service Providers. 

5.  Here is the link to a thread by Pamee that tells you how to report them to their ISP and what to do. http://off2dr.com/modules/smf/index.php?topic=1208.0

Good Luck!

Anne, I did not find a name on that to ban him.  Is there one?

I did change the link slightly to protect other posters.  I do not want anyone to click on it and inadvertently go to the spam site.

Thanks for reporting it.

[ScoopD (aka: Pam)]

Just a little FYI.....

RazzorMann attempted to access this site about 1,650 times today - YES, I wrote that right, one thousand six hundred fifty times today.  In My ban log I have 55 pages with 30 lines of attempts per page just from today......

I am guessing the ban has mad him a little mad but just think of the havoc he could have wreaked upon us if he wasn't banned...

Thank you so much for the info. I got spammed  by the same person too. I quickly forwarded the email to the admin of Off2dr.com.

I had a pm from that screen name on the 7th and just deleted it....I didn't know what else to do, but now i do know by reading this. Thank you Grandmother of Brandon

Thank you very much for your support GOB.
This spammers are so awful, just behind each word!

All the best for you!

[JTiscool]

^ Perfect example.

[Maria]

Cannot bring you such a person to be prosecuted for spamming?

[Elric of Melnibone]

You could, but it is very difficult to catsh them, much less prosecute them.  Best way to hurt them, Maria, is not to buy what they are selling.  Maybe they go away then.

[Maria]

Maybe, Elric,...maybe....but never rely on that.

Whenever there is a clear offense...say stopp and if it does not help, enforce it by law.

Its not the point, whether they go away, but offensive, intruding behaviour like spamming is a crime and there is no use by just hoping them go away. Such things must be stopped.

Thats my 2 Cent of thinking.

I just had to get rid of Maria being the first post on this website.
