salfordian Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Over the past few weeks from absolutely no where I've started getting loads of spam from this network, all the spammers seem to be flocking to them because they don't take any action, has anyone else noticed this?

Also, we need the actual URLs, not screen prints please? & (it maybe just me), but, the topic heading ALMOST made me NOT look at your post, bc, so many spammers fill up SCF, I avoid "looking" at any post I think will be junk/spam of any kind, I thought for many long minutes before deciding on yours... Just sayin🤔! Cheers! Edited April 29, 2019 by MIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salfordian Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 I don't need assisting as I'm using SpamCop, it was a question rather than asking for help hence where I posted the 'question' Quote & (it maybe just me), but, the topic heading ALMOST made me NOT look at your post I thought 'Discussions & Observations' was the correct place however I didn't think such an arrogant ____ would reply, it's a shame the moderation team doesn't try making this place more friendly. PS just in case you haven't worked it out yet I wish you hadn't looked at my post as you clearly only replied to troll, do you spend lots of time here waiting to for people to post so you can be like this with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea to show it and your query can be understood better. You should be able to go to "Past reports" TAB and reparse a pevious report to get this tracking URL Here is one of mineHere is your TRACKING URL - it may be saved for future reference:https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6542242138z70eee8040fbd8d6299089b3af181b547z Thanks Edited April 30, 2019 by petzl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petzl is not a troll, he might just have had a bad day with all the spam in the forum (it goes away after an admin browsed through it, but the TZ between OZ and US difference keeeps the spam visible much longer for him...) anyway, the past reports can be found here when logged in (same as the link/tab [Past Reports]) (p.s. that's TZ for Time Zone, OZ for Down Under, and US for a Colorado/Rockies location or something like that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIG Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I know Petzl, & few SC others, you salfordian, on the other hand, have a bit of a "questionable" rep, shall we say. Looking at previous posts is an absolute baseline for ANY person with ANY technical exposure/nouse. What are you afraid of? If you'd pull your head out of wherever it is you'd see Petzl didn't ask ?s to your so called "general observation question". If you're going to name call at least target the offender. You're a tad defensive salfordian, one wonders why? Well actually I would, but, I can't be bothered. Later!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIG Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It's "later", so another observation for you salfordian, the "topic heading" I referred to was YOUR "topic heading..." Based on this topic & your previous, you have "tude", that & paranoia are treatable conditions, seek help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 This thread has gotten out of hand. I am locking the thread so everyone has an opportunity to take a deep breath. We try to keep this forum civil. Strong feelings about a subject, the facts and opinions are understandable. Please keep opinions about other members of this forum to your self. They are not appropriate here (Positive views, thank yous are acceptable). As for the comment(s) that may have gotten the whole thing off the track: As moderator, based on the Subject I did move the OP to "spam purgatory" where I read the post and then moved the post back to the Lounge.
