Spambots

And they've started again, blimey.

BGs can only deal with the spam on their boards, there is nothing we can do about all the other ones if that board's BG isn't online.

I've cleared my boards of masses again this morning but I see they are already reappearing on those boards - .it's impossible to keep up.

It is so frustrating and it is getting worse, not better. MSE staff are you listening? Something has to be done NOW (although I think I'm wasting my breath )

ETA this one alone has posted 209 threads so far - how the heck are we supposed to keep up with that :mad:

How come, that "Digital Spy" for instance is not plagued by this spam?

Thank you for that information, and apologies for saying you were the board guide.

Does MSE say anywhere that its staff moderate the Elite thread and why does it not have a BG like other boards?

the board it is on is a sub-board of Grabbit, of which I and another person are BGs. However that particular thread has caused many, many issues of one kind and another in the past and I have been told to leave it to the Forum Team to monitor*.

(*obvious rule violations excepted)

I would not agree to use your name to close and open threads on that sub board because you are covering up for MSE.

MSE should be seen to be doing it, since it is moderating that sub board.

Redfox,

I would not agree to close and open this sub thread in your name when it is really MSE staff monitoring it.

Google MSE and Henlans and read articles like this and Henlans quote on what he/she does.

It puts a different meaning on Martin Lewis' latest so called news article ' Buy cheap stolen goods'
