what the heck

[Mt. Zion Chins]

What is going on with all the 'active users' that are in a light print and then crossed out ??? I have noticed more and more of them in the last few months

 

[Chinmama]

They are spammers that have been banned. They are out in full force lately!

 

[lauralynne]

Yep! What's the high count, Ann? Like 20 in a day you had to ban?

 

[Newt]

The spammers are easily startled, but they'll be back. And in greater numbers....

 

[Chinmama]

I think one day it was like 32 at one time, but there were more throughout the day. Sheesh...

 

[smhufflepuff]

That's insane! Glad you're keeping up with them. Go team CnH

 

[Mt. Zion Chins]

where is 'the like' button ?

 

[Chinmama]

LOL Newt, the Spammer Apocalypse! *screams*

 

[Peaceful1]

What makes a user a spammer. I'm a new user and do not want to be considered one.

 

[cindyv3737]

LOL! You ladies are taking them down, one spammer at a time.

 

[Chinmama]

Peaceful1, they post a bunch of random unrelated things to the forum and typically include links to other sites where they are selling things, porn, potential viruses, etc. That's why we have new members on moderation for their first few posts - so we can weed out who really needs to be here from the spammers.
