Rip Snorter Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 There are multiple spammers and each has to be banned, Unless there is a good spam blocker they can come back quickly and do it all over again. My instinct is that this is not anything to do with the airlines, but just an attempt to disrupt a shooting site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 This is going to take a lot of work! This is what you get from having an open sight which has been discussed before. Oh well, it's all up to SASS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is ABSOLUTELY NO BETTER WAY to attract new members, than to require them to pay $50 before they can look at the website and see if they like the idea. I was a member of the SASS wire for at least 2 years before I joined SASS. Probably a whole lot of people here were members of the wire before they ever joined.

There’s ways to check out people without having them actually join SASS, they could answer a few questions and then be okayed by a moderator. We do that on some groups on Facebook. It doesn’t prevent scammers 100% of the time but it does cut down on them like crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Most Moderators are volunteers - they are not online all the time. I figured this nuisance spammer would be back, and probably will be again later. Hopefully the Mods drop in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The Spam problem is getting worse. I am a Moderator on another shooting/hunting site and it is a problem. Most of it is coming from SE Asia and gets posted during the middle of the night. The other site lets any member post and it's real easy to join. We block the posters id and they just change them.

Rip Snorter Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I also am a Moderator and Administrator on another site with the same platform as this site. Ask Admin to set a delay for new members. Helps sort about half or more of it out before anyone sees it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
