    I see the spammers were banned. How about deleting the trash they spammed the board with?

    You should have seen the forum this morning. Phone numbers to get a divorce or to get your loved one to fall back in love with you lol. They took over general discussion.

    Ya to whoever,stay away from these posts.Probably some idiot trying to lead people to Phishing pages.

    I won't ever understand how someone can get up everyday and choose to waist his intelligence potential to behave in such primitive way.

    nah ... it's not phishing.

    It's some Indian dude trying to sell Astrology & Escort services.

    I don't understand why he thinks he'll find customers from India in these forums. Indian players are IP-blocked from the game.

    As a suggestion to the mods: slap on a restriction that limits the number of discussions each user is able to create to one every three minutes. This might also handle both accidental and intentional multi-posting (or completely stab us in the back).

    I think what we need is a crack commando unit. Perhaps one sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. One that promptly escaped into the underground of Los Angeles and still survives to this day as soldiers of fortune.

    What I'm saying is, we need...The A-Team.

    it used to be an old search engine optimization strategy called backlinking

    i've heard that google has reduced its effectiveness because of people trying to abuse it like this, but here we are

    funny thing is, it's mostly done on dead forums because of less chance of being moderated. i guess vindi forums are dead by whatever metric these guys use :#

    This seems to happen every night/morning now. Temporary fix: get moderators from other time zones, longer-term fix: put captcha on login.

    I'm not sure how this forum works but I have moderated others in the past. When facing stuff like this we could ban by name or by IP address and also blocks of IP's that covered an entire region. Captcha on login is great idea to stop spam bots.

    This is the worst so far. General discussion is now three pages buried from the spammers.
