Hey You All,

When did you start allowing these types of ads?

http://forum.nanfa.o...a...&MSID=46418

It came in under NEWS.

I ain't prudish but I think this is someone who slipped under your radar.

I was just thinking last night that we haven't had a spam attack for a while. We have no ability to prevent someone from "joining" the Forum and posting stupid stuff. We catch it soon after and kill it, as has happened with this bozo's post. As usual it happened pre-dawn. Welcome to the modern world...

I've noticed these types of posts on at least one other forum. I guess someone came up with some new software for annoying people.

I got one this morning too.

I cannot find a link to report this kind of spam.

In the left column of the screen, where you see a user's name displayed alongside a message, there's a green, oblong button labeled "! REPORT". If you hit that and follow instructions a message will be sent to Moderators alerting them to a perceived problem (porn spam is certainly a problem).

When you see such nonsense (or any post that violates the family oriented atmosphere we promote here), please hit the "report" icon below the authors name. If you receive an objectionable PM from a member or a spammer, please take the time to report it via PM or public post to any member of the staff you see is active at the moment.

There's not a report button in PMs. I looked for one when I got the spam this morning. I sent a PM to the moderator.

I also had 2 spam PMs from a user named NEWS. Subject "HI"

Spammers have been attacking my forums as well, Ive had to convert to admin authorization for new accounts, but I know thats not an option here. My forums are tiny.

Sorry about the messages. I will be implementing a fix today at some point.

I've also taken the liberty of removing it from everyone's PM folder.

Until I can implement the fix, I've temporarily disabled the PM function for non-NANFA members. Sorry for any inconveniences.

Thanks for all your work Drew to keep this place chugging along. It probably doesn't get said enough :)

You're not kidding Todd!

Thanks a million Drew for keeping such a watchful eye on the forum.

In case anyone missed the PM....A spammer made it through the maze that Drew has concocted to keep such nonsense off of the forum. They then began a barrage of PM's to our members soliciting a male enhancement product (same spam you get via e-mail). There was a photo that depicted bikini clad women and a guy. All clothed, but still nothing we want on the forum.

Spammers are determined to break into every site they can, always looking for chinks in the armor of sites such as this. I'm afraid this type of attack will not go away soon so we'll always have to keep an eye out and try to be proactive. At times this will inconvenience our forum members and I feel obligated to apologize in advance for such inconveniences. We have to balance the ability to access and interact with our forum friends while keeping this a family friendly site.

Why doesn't anybody just go after the companies that do the spamming?

Once again, on a side note, I'd like to mention how nice it would be if someone would let members know when their annual dues come due. Being locked out of PM is an annoying way of finding out I'm not a member anymore.

For everyone or just nanfa members? I still can't get into mine.

Cool, thanks. NANFA members shouldn't have been affected at all.
