Umm... What's this?
Hi,Good Day
My name is Miss joy , I saw your profile in (www.flashflashrevolution.com) today and was moved and become interested in you, I will like you to send me an email to my address (joy2001william@yahoo.com) so that i can give you my pictures for you to know whom i am. I believed we can move from here? Remember colour or distance does not matter but LOVE matters allot in life). Reply me back with my email address(joy2001william@yahoo.com)please anrangen this mail and contact me with it i hope to hear from you soon yours Miss joy A message I got on my comment wall. In all honesty, I had no idea where to put it. Move it I guess to somewhere more appropriate. Anyway, is this like a spam bot that's now getting at our comment walls? If so, do something? |

Re: Umm... What's this?
They just want you to send an e-mail to them so they can get your e-mail address I think. Apparently there's quite a bit of money to be made in selling e-mail addresses for spam purposes.
Don't see how though... who would actually pay money to get their spam ads in people's inboxes? Is it really worth the money when almost everyone who receives said spam won't even look at it? ps I used to get things like this on myspace from time to time, even back when I wasn't active at all. Seems to be aimless spam bots that do this sort of thing.

I received an ad from this 'Team Red' fellow. I would like to have him executed if possible.

Re: Umm... What's this?
Hacking is simplified with an E-mail address and the right sources, especially if you use hotmail.
and yes, bots have moved to the comment walls, gl and stay way from there links and threads |

Re: Umm... What's this?
Sorry, that was me.
But yeah, probably just a spam bot.

Is there really a way to block that without putting a word box before posting stuff everywhere? (The kind where you have to type in what is seen in the picture?)

Re: Umm... What's this?
They're called captchas and they suck. But, the problem is still that they an register.

Re: Umm... What's this?
I agree, and I would rather deal with deleting gay comments than see those dumb things show up on FFR. Registering is one thing, commenting? NO.

Re: Umm... What's this?
You can get away with spam if its non-threatning. But what I can't truly understand is why bring bots here on FFR? It doesn't make sense. Only a tenth of the population is barely active and half of us would just end up deleting them. If you ask me its just another waste of time. They should start thinking of adding spam blockers if needed to. Only when the situation gets worse that is.
What do you guys think? Spam-Block?
