SpamBots!!!

[Largo]

Just thought that you ought to know.

I suspect that the forum member known as 'Penis Enlargement Pills' is most likely a SpamBot.

Sorry to 'out' you PEP, but I need to protect my 'homies.'

Glad to have you out there looking over us Largo. Just watch where you point that spear gun...

[fire diver]

What?! Say it aint so PEP! I thought we were homies. I thought you had my back (well, ok, my front too). I feel so let down right now.

[BobbyWombat]

Hmm....you know, I thought some of my private messages with PEP were a little one sided.....



BW: Wassup PEP? Wanna hit the quarry this weekend?
PEP: Enlarge your penis!
BW: Actually, quarry diving has been known to have the opposite effect...
PEP: Enlarge your penis!

....and so on. I am so going to remove PEP as a facebook friend.

OK am I missing something or is this serious??

Hi. There are computer programs that infiltrate forums like this. These are called bots. Periodically, there is a bot that shows up on this forum, with the aforementioned username.

[ScubaToys Larry]

Anytime a bot gets in, we analyze what links they are running to, what IP addresses, names, etc, then ban and remove them, and add info to the spam filter that will stop them in the future.

If you ever see spam, just click the report post button so we can try to keep on top of it. Presently, I'm stopping about 800 per day... and you see maybe one every week or so? Not bad.

That's pretty impressive. I had to shut down my website because of those stupid things.

[fire diver]

Keep up the great work Larry! I had no idea how much of that crap you guys were keeping out.

[Black-Gorrilla]

wow! 800 a day? that's pretty harsh.
