Anyone who has ever dealt with forum software before should be able to do so. It is obviously not a concern, however.

seriously whats with all the bitcoin mtix buybtc whatever thefucking thing is called its irritatating, a simple script can do it, doesnt sr have programmers on call waiting to be paid in bitcoins and drugs,  that was the job description I got =D

also people dont post pone them, if anything when you see one go to a topic you have interest and make a post to push if off the newest topics when refreshed.

anyway SR I believe you could easily take some effective measures against this, because gd!#@ its irritating

All the spam busters fighting all at once this morning would not have made a dent they had 4 spam posters in every section.
so every 1 post removed 4 were popped back up in the time of a page refresh.

I volunteer if there is any more required. I'm on a few hours each night but more importantly, 4 pages of spam won't beat me :)

Pick me DPR :) (and I'll send some freebies)!
Bribery! ;D

Man every time I log on now there's just endless posts of it. SO annoying, and the PMs seem to be getting more frequent as well. Is there anyway I could put myself forward for removing them?

I hope sometime soon they'll find a way to achieve this. For now, the forum has an in-built spam filter for your inbox, at least that's half the battle won! http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=52370  :)

cut off their flow of income and their spamming will become pointless.

put a disclaimer on the bottom of the SR login saying not to buy off anyone spammign the forum or claiming to sell BTC at a cheap price via credit card or paypal. Paypal offer not protection for Digital transfers so you will lose your money.

do this, and the problem will resolve itself.

Hmm.... Do the admins ask for references for mod places? On a totally unrelated note, I have a few grams of various things laying around which I need to give away....

lol no

Workaround = add more mods

Fix = have an admin use one of the many tools available to them

The real issue is one of perception.  If this is supposed to be a secure market that using a crypto-currency and snubs their nose at the law then an amateur spam attack that could be perpetrated by any registered user shouldn't affect the usability of the site this dramatically without a response by the administrators.  The fix is not difficult.
