We need help with spam banning

LordEntrails · Nov 20, 2016

So why does this thread, and only this thread, show as unread to me everytime I log in?

Dannyalcatraz · Nov 20, 2016

There's a bug. It has happened to me a few times.

If you use the "Mark Forum As Read" option, it should clear the thread. At least that's how I've dealt with this issue in the past.

Thanks. We shall see what happens

Good Lord there was a lot of spam this morning. ugh.

Yeah, that was quite the epic cleanup session.

I missed a swarm? Shoulda guessed- nailed a few dozen before bedtime.

They definitely come in waves for some reason.

I wasn't intending a critism of the job done, but remarking on the challenges you face keeping the site clear of spam. They sure are persistent though.

I didn't take it as criticism. I just got a whole bunch, then the site went quiet, and I went to bed. When I wake up, there's news of another wave- I was mildly surprised.
