There's been quite an influx of spammers recently. They've been getting pretty sneaky this time.
Well I can probably say it's anyone with a number at the end of their name.
Should there be a waiting period for confirming new users to the system?

Re: Spammer Invasion
Hey now. It's not EVERYONE with a number at the end of their name.
But I've noticed the same thing. Thanks for the quick response, Clueless.

They're quite clever, using inexpressive small-talk postings as far as I've seen.
No kittens!

Canonfire does a thing where it asks you a simple question that Greyhawk fans would know but spaMmers wouldn't (what's the name of Greyhawk's planet?). It seems effective.

Wow, I'm tired. I read this topic as "Spelljammer Invasion" and envisioned Spelljamming ships crossing onto the planes and wreaking havoc.

Well, they're employed in the Astral and some of the Elemental planes, aren't they?

Bump. Any word on the spam flag? The turks are still hanging around.

Re: Spammer Invasion
Just give me a good AOE spell and a bunch of trigger-happy githyanki pirates, then I'll be good to report spamming.
Seriously, though, this is vexing.

Re: Spammer Invasion
It takes at least two people clicking on the link to unpublish the comment (just to avoid abuse) and I'll get an email once a comment gets zapped so I'll have a good idea what's going on.
That should give us a good angle on it now, so please let me know if it's not behaving correctly.

I haven't seen any posts by Clueless in quite a time... I'm in any case glad everything's ok.

Re: Spammer Invasion
I've been pretty swamped by work and regular life. Also - definitely female. I've a new job starting in the next few weeks here,s o I'm hoping that will afford me some extra time to dive back into fixing up Planewalker and promoting it again.

Re: Spammer Invasion
Yay! Clueless!
Shout out for Cullers for the LSE! What happened to all the old contributers, like Duckluck and the Orroloth?
Hey, anyone else notice how a thread about spam totally drifted off-subject and devolved into mere conversation. Dang I love irony in all its varied forms!

I'm not sure where Duckluck is - and I think Orri is honestly busy right now with real life.

Re: Spammer Invasion
Wow! An off topic thread on Planwalker O_o things do change...
All glory to Xaostixasxa!
Unfortunately they're getting past the reCaptcha, so I suspect these aree turk driven spammers - aka actual live people. So what i'm going to do is add a flag this to denote spam so that you guys can readily notify me of a piece of spam, and if enough ofyou hit da button, it can be automatically removed from display (i'll deal with the user account from there)
Im currently away from home on vacation so give me a few days to get back to my regular dev computer to set all that up for you.
