Albert Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks, I didn't realize this. There have been a TON of spammers signing up lately--the accounts don't get approved, but it seems they have found a loophole to post their garbage nonetheless. I'll see if I can figure out how to disable status updates for unvalidated members, or I will just disable them entirely. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I dunno, teefintarce sounds legit. I always wanted to know how to enlarge my designer handbag with this funny trick to save on car insurance that leaves wives speechless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Pac Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Believe me when I say they all sound legit, until you start to look deeper. Unfortunity Spambots can be found everywhere even on Facebook when 1 tried to get my phone number. After checking out there page and found nothing posted, I knew it was a Spambot.

Albert Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 This seems to be a problem with the forum software, as these accounts were all marked (by me, manually) as spammers and were never validated. I'm discussing this issue on Invision's support forum now. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I say, if you're going to spam, at least make the links be clickable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I say, if you're going to spam, at least make the links be clickable... I'm only guessing at this, but, these bots don't seem to target a particular forum. I bet the spammer bought a recent exploit and just went for the most basic formatting. I guess hoping that out of a thousand forums one would display - and one of those forum users was inexperienced enough to click. Sad times.
