Title: Bot running Loose on SR Forums!
Post by: Defied14 on October 24, 2012, 06:22 am

We need the admins to check out the flooding of these bots on the SR forums! They're sending me these bitcoin exchange messages, as well as filling up the SR forums with new topics. Just wanted an admin to notice it is happening.

It's starting to drive me crazy. Somebody give me a ban hammer and I'll twock some of them away when I see them.

Note: if you set account to 'private' in account settings, then the bot won't send you PMs.

thanks for your hard work mok...

however I think some preventive matters need to be taken. (this will be the third time ive written this, but nobody listens ;)  )

if DPR puts a disclaimer under the login page, then it will stop anyone from falling for this obvious scam, and therefore stop the reason for the spamming.

Place this under the SR login :

"Do not purchase BTC from any webpages spammed on the forum claiming ridiculously cheap prices and to be paid through PayPal or Credit card. Paypal will offer no protection for this purchase as they do not protect Digital Transfered Items. You will lose your money"
