Site Topics - Part II

The question is, whose are those? Sheffield? London? Birmingham? (and whatever locations I've unintentionally forgotten to list)

Sheffield I think...

Why Style Forum when most users are US based?

So the spam is now telling me I have messages when I do not. You're ok with this?

I'm pretty sure the dude in Bangladesh whom you always tell to "******** and die" in his spam threads is exacting targeted revenge.

Here is one. Clicked on the motorcycles thread from my subscriptions page. Page started to load and then redirected to

http://c.mobpartner.mobi/?s=1312063&a=5928&tid1=12214239465

Only happens on mobile so it's not like I can catch it with a debugging tool.

This bastard keeps opening the App Store.

I am not a bastard, my parents were married at the time of my birth.

To each other?

Four new members have just created a multitude of new threads in General Chat, all about live sports streaming.

This guy created 61 - yes, 61 - threads in about an hour and a half. Unsurprisingly, all of them are about live streaming of sports events:

This new member wasn't nearly as fast - he or she only managed to create 25 new sports streaming threads in half an hour:

http://www.styleforum.net/u/227623/santa-rani


At present, this new member has created 9 threads in six minutes, all for sports streaming:

And this person created 21 threads in 15 minutes, all about sports streaming:

http://www.styleforum.net/u/227625/footballlivenb


Frankly, this is pretty ridiculous, especially when someone can sign up and create 61 threads in 90 minutes.

Surely the forum software can be tweaked so as to limit people's ability to create thread after thread after thread (or even post after post after post) in a very short space of time.

Those aren't spam threads those are legit posts. Don't you want to watch sports for free?

Thank you Mods for keeping GC spam free. You have a thankless job and you do it so well.

It had been years since I swung a ban hammer.

I can't remember if this is the right place to report this, but there was an auto-playing video ad for the movie "Dracula" when I was browsing WAYWT

Haha, nothing interesting, just a bunch of spammers. I kinda wandered on my merry way around the time J and Fok brought in the then-new forum system, so was a first for me. I still can't work out how to time people out though...

I'll bet you learned how to lock and unlock threads pretty quick, though.

Bangladesh???

Indian hackers have been offshoring then..
