Attack of the Spam Bots! (by Andres)
Hi Folks,
As a lot of you know, we were hit by a Spam Bot Attack in the last 24 hours. In fact, we were hit by 2 different attacks, with each attack dropping almost 80 Spam Bombs in the Forums.
First, my apologies, as I know how annoying this can be when you're reading through the threads. I've already terminated all the Spam posts and I've banned the offending users, but looking into this more, I see that this is being done in a very clever way, so I'm going to have to use some advanced tools to fight back. I'm going to work on that today to hopefully keep this from happening again.
The good news is that Spammers now consider us "big enough" to attack, so our little town known as the "Dating.mobi Forums" is now officially on the map! :)
