The spammers are getting wilier?
03-28-2008, 12:57 AM
At least, we had a registered yuku user post some sort of handbag ad to the marketplace forum. And judging from their profile, about a zillion other forums.
I've reported them, but... this could be troublesome.
-Morgan, will now delete it. *Cackles maniacally*
(But I can't ban them while I'm at it. What the hell? Why does it give me the menu option if I can't *do* it?)

I'm pretty sure the biggest tool I have is the ability to delete entire pages of topics at a time. '.'
Not that I'm going to *do* that, but that's kind of a strange set of permissions, don't you think? Banning seems much less dangerous...

I'll ban and thread-kill as necessary, not having been over in the Marketplace yet since my return.
What if anything did Yuku say about the spammer?
ETA: I guess Morgan took care of the thread, since I can't find it. I doubt Yuku did...

Yeah, I didn't think there was any reason to keep it, so I deleted it.
And I did report the user to Yuku, but I don't know whether to expect them to reply directly.

You should probably get a form letter; that's what I usually get.
