When I see spam I report the post with whatever huk and send it. Then I go to the spammers profile and put the thing on my ignore list. This clears all that particular bots BS off the board, for me. Then I go to the next bot and do the same.

I'd like the govt to start a program that specifically targets criminals who make viruses and spam bots.....then prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. That would make me happy.

Site has gone downhill. Just TRYING to enjoy it but I must admit I miss the likes and the sites slow as fuck with lots of errors sometimes. Often type a big post only to submit to a hung up site. Fucking waste of time...


Personally I spend more and more time elsewhere. Trend shall likely continue.

You whiners just don't understand! You see a few spam threads, and you think we're not taking care of it.


I just deleted over 300 spam threads, and I do that every morning. There were about 10 that showed up to the members, and 300 that were caught by the spam filter, and those you did not see. Then there was the Escort spammer whose threads were not caught by the filter, so his posts appeared, but they are gone now.


When a spammer gets his posts to appear, they don't stay on the forum for more than a couple of hours, and they are deleted. If it bothers you that much, maybe you have other issues.

Setup a script that bans every account that signs up with an ICQ messenger account (people with the green flower under their name)

Ever notice how the bots always seem to have ICQ? Who even uses that anymore? It's a bot every time, and it's not only just rollitup, but other forums I go on too.

When I type out something long, I always copy it before hitting the post button, so I can paste it later if ti screws up. PRO Tip.

Much love, stick around Snaps, I like you

it is true hundreds of spam gets caught by our filter and few make it through , they usually come on when most mods are offline :(
it seriously sucks and were sorry you had to see it, but every website has spam the bigger the website it is the more spam that sometimes get through, but i promise as soon as a mod comes online we do take care of it ! :)

I tend to use the site early in the am EST. Its then that lately theres a page and a half of spam. What frustrates me is I'd love to be able to remove it for the sake of the site but when I offered, I got "We aren't looking for any new mods"
I'm sure for what makes it through, theres tons caught beforehand. This is a high traffic site, and thats what these slimeballs are looking for.
I do believe though thats its worse now than ever.

What is the status on these new servers? Are they in process of being installed? Are they still in transit? Any updates? Timetables? anything?

All you bitching fucker i mean the site dose not ask for a penny from any of its users and you are all trashing volunteers yeah the site owner makes money but not the mods so instead of bitching and moaning about problems STFU and be grateful for the shit you are receiving for free

servers take time to code this dose not happen over night depending on the new severs it could take weeks before the site will fully be fixed and migrating fuck knows how many GB of data with out loosing any is a mammoth task in its self

RIU is one of the best Grow forums I have used yes it has problems but so fucking what its FREE

So STFU or leave and stop bashing people who give there free time to make this site what it is no one is forcing you to stay

That's a great tip. If I had a mouse I would have been doing that by default. Unfortunately I do 90% of my web browsing on my smartphone.

Im not leaving, although it's slow around here.

You'd think a certain post count would bypass the captcas. I can never read them, they're the most difficult to replicate of all of those authenticity verifications I've seen.

edit: I just realized this thread is probably related to the servers being down and not the captchas
