Regarding the spam on here
 
Okay! I contacted the admin several times through the "Contact us" link, and I also reported posts and gave infractions - no reaction.
I hereby encourage all of you to contact the admins so we can have this mess cleaned up.

Acharis 06-01-2013 11:47 PM

I think a while ago I said people should give infractions, but I was wrong - they're the less effective option for spam.

Wasn't Admin saying that reporting was what would get it taken care of?

Timeless Rebellion 06-02-2013 02:10 AM

Yes, but then he also said that reporting was broken, and who knows if that works right now. So report the posts AND contact them - if we spam their inbox enough, I bet they'll eventually get tired of it and fix it.

Timeless Rebellion 06-08-2013 05:54 AM

To arms! Keep reporting please

Gothic.net 06-12-2013 02:09 PM

Infractions are fine. Since people had problems with the 'report post' option, we've been keeping an eye on post infractions as well, lately. Sorry they have not been as timely as some of you would prefer, but they do actually generally get taken care of.

Some of these new spambots are actually advertising Google....... o.O

Renatus 07-21-2013 05:02 AM

Yeah this spam problem has gotten completely out of control. 6 whole list pages per category of spam.

Timeless Rebellion 07-21-2013 06:18 AM

Well, during the last massive infestation, we reached 40 before something was done.

Oh man. -_- It's still going

And it makes you wait between each report so you can't just efficiently get it all done. Worst feature ever.

Y'all seem to have lost this war. Any of the old regulars left that haven't pissed off admin enough that they could act as some sort of spam-genocidal pseudo-mod?

EDIT: though I guess that would require getting hold of the admin anyway.

*Twitch 07-21-2013 09:08 AM

Jesus titty-fucking christ on a shit-befouled bench! How did g-net get so many spambots?

Sorry about the double post, but I've been gone for a while and there is literally nothing but shitty scrip ads. Not even drugs that anyone really wants anyways?!!?!

Acharis 07-21-2013 09:33 AM

I've offered to clean spam, already modding it elsewhere... but only hear crickets.

Jonathan 07-21-2013 08:46 PM

I've offered to help too. Happy to do my part, gnet.

That was fairly good timing xD

But yeah... I don't see why a mod isn't appointed. Plenty of us are active enough

Acharis 07-22-2013 04:47 AM

To report spam there's an endless cycle of report, wait the 60 seconds required, do something else and get logged out for being inactive.. and more just spews out while you're doing that handful.

I gave up and contacted the admin saying that the spam was coming faster than I could report.

We're drowning here! Sweet lumpy space princess this is awful.

ape descendant 07-22-2013 08:03 PM

So um, no one's going to buy shitty drugs from a spam-bot on a goth forum. Why is this even happening? Who thought, ooh ooh that goth forum, I bet those bitches love pharmaceuticals, let's spam them until it's pretty much unusable.

Benevolent Gnet, save us from this terrible, porky scourge.

Thanatosofos 07-23-2013 02:36 AM

Noob complains
 
I just sent a message to admin via "Contact Us", letīs see what happens. I just joined this forum a little while ago and would really like to participate but itīs a little irritating to find 99 spams and one real post in the "New Posts" every time.

Other than that, looks like a nice place. :)

ape descendant 07-23-2013 04:47 AM

Welcome, newbie. You picked a hell of a time to join. Please excuse the mess, it's not usually this bad.

Acharis 07-23-2013 05:49 AM

Welcome Thanatosofos.

Holy fuck, these douchebags have just guaranteed that I won't be buying any of these products ever. Goddamnit WE'RE GOTHS. WE'VE ALREADY GOT DRUGS!

...Is it possible for mass spam to crash a server?

The administration gives no fucks, they are sucking up ad money as it trickles in; people are still showing up, who cares.

Timeless Rebellion 07-23-2013 09:38 AM

It can take weeks for the admin to do something.

ape descendant 07-27-2013 11:51 PM

For fuck's sake gnet, make it stop!
