Obviously things have changed in the almost 5 years since you’ve spent anytime here…

You should have been here two weeks ago when the threads (the entire boards) were overrun with scammers and spammers… It’s been a heck of a battle but we got them on the run… Have you reported any of these scammers so we can deal with them or…..

Thanks for the support…

Wow! I didn't know there was an outbreak since my absence. Glad you all got it under control. I'm an IT Security Analyst so I understand the amount of work it takes to keep everyone safe. Thanks for the hard work! It's an under appreciated job.



I haven't reported any since they like to communicate outside of the forums. If that will help, I'll be sure to report them in the future.

We would greatly appreciate any reports, provided it is within the bounds of Camaro5… We can’t do anything outside of here… I apologize if my comment appeared snide… I’m a little jaded at the moment due to the fight…

I’m going to join this thread with another, where you read all about it you are so inclined… Some of it is almost funny, and some of it is infuriating…

Hope the peckerheads leave you alone….

Below is what the offtopic forum looks like to us… This is current… To enjoy the threads, we have to sort through a lot of crap… It’s much better but damn…. lol… I hope it looks better on your end…

Everyone be careful out there.
Yeah I remember when these scammers were all over anyone who posted a WTB post in the for sale section. It did get a little out of hand back then.

I completely understand, no need to apologize! Unfortunately, we, the people fighting for good, will always be out manned and under funded. Then you add in the human element of it. lol. I could go on and on.



Thanks for the preview of the admin side. I always wondered what that looked like. I don't envy you all one bit.

Much less going on lately, thanks guys! I have noticed though that the last few I reported are not NEW posts, but spam posts that have been added onto old and existing threads. One of them was a post started way back by tran... One today I reported was added onto a very old thread.

I really wish this forum auto-locked threads if there wasn't any activity for a certain amount of time.

Report and we will lock if it's not relevant anymore.

Also, if a spammer hits it locking should be a normal part of our duties.

Several pages of spam posted to a pretty cool vintage thread. Ouch! Dutifully reported.

Good job, I saw that too, and reported. I have noticed they have been attacking some of the ancient threads.
