There’s got to be some way to fix this once and for all. Maybe we ought to get some
outside help? Contact newphpbb or something?

Yeah, there must be some way of stopping it.
I was thinking of having more
trustworthy mods (maybe in different time zones) which will give each mod a shift to fill on everyday basis
Ahh – the wonderful bots that destroy everything for no
reason…and just because they can. Elimination is the key.

Speaking of "killer
bots", I just found another one. His screen name is rather…umm…disturbing, so I won’t mention it. He
just posted a thread in the Off Topic section; you’ll also find that this bot is
not afraid of adding a few “colorful metaphors” to his sentences. ![]()
Sheesh… I’m getting
tired of these bots…
You do realise that
that ‘bot’ is the same person as the other ‘bot(s)’ we’ve mentioned, judging by their exact same DOB…
Hey, yeah.
I never realized that before.
To be honest
the admin should block this person from registering, cuz all she need to know is if it has the duplicate DOB
& a dodgy name then that ‘bot’ should be blocked
Well, there’s another porno spam post on there right now, worse than the one this morning. It might be a very
good idea to pick Mods in all the different time zones. I’d be willing to take on the duty myself, since I
visit the board several times per day, and could at least delete these posts. We had this same problem for
awhile over on our original Never Forgotten Foster’s Community Forum, until Sparky figured out a way to stop
them. Most of the “spam bots”, though, were not registered, but posted as guests, so simply
prohibiting guests from posting solved that problem, and now that we’re on VBulleting, there are even more ways
of banning trolls and spammers and tracking their ISP’s, since posting porn on a site that is expected to be
visited by minors is illegal, and ISP’s will delete accounts of customers who violate
this.

I would also volunteer to moderate the boards in order to get these spam posts off as quickly as possible while
finding a better solution. I come on a few times during the day as well.
I too am extremely tired of these bots. I’ll do anything to help too.
Oh, I’m convinced it’s the same person. It HAS to be
the same person. It’s just too big of a coincidence that all of a sudden, we have a bot joining our forums
repeatedly. How they manage to keep coming back, I have no idea.

I think they just set up another email address everytime
he/she registers. I mean come on, who will be that sad enough to waste their time & register/post random
rubbish here? He/she must be a lonely 23yr old…
Now this is more like it! (reminds me of teamwork from ‘A Bug’s Life’)
We need to have 2 or 3 users from different continents to moderate the forums daily (some from N & S
America, Europe & Asia/Oceania)
I’d be happy to help, too. That’s a good idea, Marty- to have people from different
continents.
Don’t
worry. Dash has a plan. ![]()

The Mastermind
is formulating another plot. This is good!
I think Dash has made a test account…
I know this one wasn’t a spam post about, as PV puts it, "you know
what," but even so it’s kind of bugging me to still see it in Off Topic; if one of the mods would take the
five seconds to delete it, it would make Pixar Planet look that much nicer. ![]()
I still don’t get how come the same old person get chucked off from the site still
manages to re-register (with different email accounts) successfully while clearly it has an identicle info (dob)
& stupid username…
I know. This person (or group of people) sure
are persistant. I see similarities in each spam bot we have. I’m sure everyone else is noticing too. But I just
wish that they could take their stuff and just move it somewhere else.
The bots seem to be gone now, which is a relief, I’ve seen many a forum be simply overwelmed by the bots,
and eventually either shut down or started from scratch somewhere else.
