did u guys change the password to area 51? i can't get in any more.

Yep...it's been changed.

You were never given the password!
You were asked to not return, td. Rejoining under another user name doesn't change your identity!

***poof***

geez........what an idiot.

Next time my girls are being a pain,I'm gonna keep this in mind.

Aaaahhhh...poof is so good!

Adds some excitment to the night, NOT. When did he sneak back in and thanks for getting rid of him again Bill!

Good job, Bill.

The thanks belong to Weezie and Loz. They discovered the little rodent. He joined 4 times today and was poofed 4 times. His IP address is now permanently blocked!

Persistent...has he run out of people to bug?

Thank you Weezie and Loz! And Mr.Bill, too!

Geez, I hope he finally takes the hint..... :p

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... a 7 poof day (so far) :rolleyes:
I just deleted 2 more people for spamming), Loz got 1 early today for spamming, and poofed the rodent four times.
I love these nice quiet days... NOT!

Is it a full moon?

You know...I was gonna push that "report post" button earlier today...but I thought I would end up in trouble. :rolleyes:

Maybe I need to check my PM's...

It's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry! That's what the "report post" button is there for!

Not when you're ME!

I just got here...and if you knew how HARD I am LAUGHING right now...

~V~

I thought I'd recognized the little weasil earlier today and was keeping an eye on him. He was actually responding to one of his own old posts! Different name, but same MO. Good work you guys and girls , once again!

Thats what happens when your not feeling well and dont log in for almost a day miss all the fun.
Thank you Ladies And thank you Mr Bill (handshaking graemlin here )

Yup!!!

Wasn't it funny how his new posts were answering or responding to all of his td guy posts???

He's the nicest guy you'll ever meet...

(insert gagging gremlin here)

(or maybe 6 of them...)

o.O he had the nerv to come back? *sets hand on fire* GAHHH!! IT NEVER GETS CLEAN!!

~Phoebe ^.^

Maybe a Hostess can PM me the new password.

Just want did he do wrong?

"I just deleted 2 more people for spamming), Loz got 1 early today for spamming"

What does that mean?

Spamming is like those emails you receive telling you where you can buy cheap drugs and stuff, in other words it's just like Junk Mail.

How is it done on a forum?

In spite of the fact that the forum rules prohibit posting links for commercial purposes, some people join for the sole purpose of placing an "ad" to their web sites. Usually they join and place an ad (i.e. "I found this great site where I can buy earthworm castings") and are never seen again.

We poof the ads right away and try to give these people the benefit of the doubt, but normally they are poofed shortly after their ads... After a while the spammers get pretty easy to identify. (which is why I tend to lurk and watch the IP addresses of people passing through...)

Thank you.

Well there are a few things to look for.

1. See if the user just signed up today.

2. Look at how many posts they made.

3. Look at there spelling, if they spell things like "hack0r", "h4cker", "h4x0r" instead of "hacker", it is probably some kid looking for trouble.

4. They like to post links and when you follow them they are sites selling Viagra, porn, or male enhancements devices.

A lot of these sites may have exploits, Active X controls or bad javascript on them. Another thing they like to do is track your IP address, and target you for even more spam. Most people don't know a thing about Internet Security, and if the hacker can find your IP address he can come back and try to break into your computer.

IP address are really easy to spoof anyway.

Just exactly like a troll. All they want is attention, and they think their post are the ,ost interesting, so of course they respond to them. Ugh.
The forum I used to help moderate had about 3 trolls just like that. I got so sick of constantly looking for them and deleting after them and doing damage control. Then on Christmas Day one year they staged an attack on the whole site. I forget what they call it, but it's where they just constantly bombard the site with crap... The admin was so ticked off they ruined his Christmas that he shut down the whole site for over a week.

Once again, Bill and all you wonderful hostesses-- thanks for your vigilance.

Hey Ginger...how are you??? So glad to see you ...
