Excessive SPAM and the Vanilla Forums
Comments
So they can't be bothered to buy the corporate version of Vanilla or the SSL certificate.
What are you doing with our money Nexon? This type of security and spam protection "should" be a drop in the bucket.
. . .
I think they are making fun of us...
Do something Nexon.
There has to be a way to stop the bots without hurting the normal, innocent people more than the actual rule breakers. But how? :C
I offered to help with some of the spam because I have odd hours that match up when the bots start spamming. I mean if they want I can work from a ninja account in a unofficial capacity.
I've been curious, why are you not a mod anymore?
Probably nothing too interesting but I'm still curious.
I'm still a mod, was only ever one on Vindi; these forums aren't linked to each other so there aren't any honorary titles like there were on the previous forums, at this time anyways.
Ah ok.
Well in reference to your previous comment, these are not pre-existing accounts. Randomly through out the day and mostly at night we'll have anywhere between 10-20 new accounts all registered at the same time. Then a handful of those will start spamming the forums with the same online horse racing junk. Miss and Ryu keep cleaning up and banning them, but it's not doing any good. It keeps happening.
Some have random letters and numbers for names, some have seemingly legit user names.
I miss the babaji black magic spam at 4amfor laughs I went to translate it
its advertising some online horse racing event or something. I thought it was funny that they would advertise that on a mmo game XD
I actually opened one of the links they were spamming on a tablet and it led me to an iOS download page for a casino app with ripped off assets from Marvel, Capcom, and I'm pretty sure several other popular things I don't know about. It screamed Chinese bootleg to me haha.
Lol
Hmmmm
Also I wonder if the other Nexon forums have this issue.. (MapleStory forums, uh.. idk any other Nexon games.)
Actually it looks like we're the only ones afflicted by this spam. So I think the assumption that the permissions are not quite the same as the other forums is probably correct.
Get yo hands off the keyboard Kim Jong Un!
He's a little fat boy with little else to do to make himself feel powerful, so he has to troll NA forums.
I thought he was gonna nuke Guam, then Seattle, San Fran, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and DC.
I hope so.
