Chat and S&B was overflowing with spam during the night.

Well done MNtechs for banishing it all to whence it came without anyone (apart from the nocturnal, the addicted, the BFers and the insomniacs) noticing this morning.

Business as usual.

Fanfare dearest Tee.

Funfair would be great though.

Funfairs are most definitely cause for a fanfare.

Pagwatch · 06/03/2013 08:35

Yy. And to be fair a cheap fare at a funfair is good reason for a fanfare

I sure it's that they just don't care dothraki and are all drinking gin and enjoying watching their site being attacked.

I'm sure they're not trying their best to end this viciousness.

And I'm sure they totally appreciate all of the criticism of how they've handled the attack.

Or, in other words, if you think it's so easy? You do it.

Hello dothraki. Sorry you feel this way. We can assure you we are doing all we can - short of stopping people posting overnight altogether, which obvs we don't want to do.

Sadly, some of these spammers are like mice. You plug up one hole, and they immediately find another...

Good job! Grin Thanks

It must be ridiculously annoying though...because even if you were fully staffed at that time of the night, Spambots are obviously designed to outspam even the fasted fingers.

Let's just hope they get fed up soon.

'fasted'?? = fastest

I wasn't suggesting you were starving your fingers for Lent.

Tee I think you have misunderstood me. I have seen no criticism of how they have handled the attack, and they have done regular updates - including to tell us when not to report, as they are so busy dealing with it. I have seen a few people making sensible suggestions on how to deal with it, and I think most people are aware now not to even post on those threads. I was reporting spam posts last week - and its obvious that the attacks are happening at certain times. MNHQ have also said TSSDNCOP - totally agree with that - why make it easier for the spammers.

Zombie took dothraki's post as tongue in cheek. Irony and all that. Not in any way critical.

Tee2072 · 06/03/2013 10:17

Sorry, dothraki, if your post was suppose to be funny and I missed the joke. I just re-read it and I'm still not getting the joke, but everyone's sense of humour is different.

I'm terrified that the only solution they are going to find works is taking the entire site down until the SPAM bots move on...
