More moderators or site update needed asap - to stop spam

[_Zack_]

We really either need someone here (gent perhaps) to promote a few mature and active members (such as myself ) to moderator status.

Or failing that we need someone to update the site badly (gent perhaps?)

Why? Because of all this spam. just look at the top of the forums, 1964 down. It's full of porn posts.

Now whilst it doesn't really bother us adult members as much (Still wrong), just think of the children!

Or what a parent would think if they saw there kid visiting an emulation site and getting a eyeful of porn.



Please can we do something to combat this asap.

Thanks

Yeah, all oldschool members are pissed as hell.
Same applies to all normal members, that spamming heaven is one of the reasons why ET is nearly dead compared to other boards.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE ET, it was my favourite emulation board and nearly my first, but I think till martin returns there's nothng we can do to revive ET, even new mods won't help.

I meant to reword the post a bit.

When i said "stop" i meant to say "delete"

obviously having more mods isn't going to stop bots posting. Will get it cleaned up faster though.

No disrespect to the mods on this site, we all have our own lives to live and we all understand that.

Hence why having more isn't a bad idea.

I agree fully, the site was just hit by a porn bot that accumulated 24 posts/threads of spam.

Martin hasn't been seen in a long time and ET could use a few extra willing members to keep the board clean when no one else is around.

A lot of us including myself would be willing to help out since a lot of times staff aren't on and a bot and it's posts don't get taken of until a few or more hours later.

I am almost never away from my PC, so things would be taken care of immediately.

It's the most that can be done for now until Martin shows back up again, me thinks he disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle while attempting to find the Loch Ness monster with captain Jack Sparrow or something.

:Edit: Damn, another effing porn bot spamming immediately after the last one, how many more of these are going to spam.

I wish I could find the people responsible for creating these atrocities, infecting everyone, castrate them and hang them by their sack...

*Twitches* I want to get rid of that advertisement so badly...

I got rid of the one in PJ64 forums (Somehow I remembered my password o_O) and banned him though.

*crawls back into his hole and slumbers for a few more years*

It's the first good thing I came across since the bots attacked: it brings back some old mods! =)

We need a Super Moderator to be able to delete spam posts across multiple forums until the board is fixed. Otherwise, an Admin will need to do the majority of the work when a multi-post bot hits.

We have at least four already, though Cyberman and I are the only ones who are active.

Another damn spambot today
