Title: Russian spam and...other things on site...
Post by: crowderjd on March 03, 2018, 08:14:57 AM
Any way this can all be blocked?  Looking at the site this morning and wow...not what I come here for!  Just curious as I know nothing about IT, but it seems to be escalating.  Thanks to all the moderators here, I know you do a lot for all of us members...just want to keep the site generally safe for family and work :)

just hit the report to moderator button and we'll clean it up and ban the user. @Troy can advise if it get's worse. Maybe lock a new user's account for using obviously spammy keywords.

I wouldn't say it's getting worse... but I've been slower to delete it because of life. There are only 3 mods and I think we're all in that situation.

There are more people responding to spammers instead of hitting the report to moderator button.

@Troy  I am guilty of this. I will report to moderator from now on fellas.
Thanks to you three who help make the site what it is.

I think I've hit the Report button 3-4 times in the last 2 days. Main kettle section is getting hit hard.
