Report spam / spammer post issues here (PLEASE read wikipost)
 

I can't even report them as fast as they're posting :D

Attachment 12857

etc.

Feel free to report such spam attacks to the mods whenever you see it. This particular one was taken care of in about 30 minutes this morning.

BAM!

^^^^^

Thank you for your concern.

The "local" forum moderators can be contacted:

Clicking on http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/image...ons/report.gif pops up a message box; the message goes to all Moderators of a forum, or to the four Senior Moderators if there are no appointed Moderators. Note that unlike some sites with paid staff moderators, FlyerTalk Moderators are volunteers, and most work, travel, go on holiday, etc.

If there is one Moderator, or it's a big deal like this spambot explosion, try sending a PM to the forum Moderator(s) and the Senior Moderators: currently, Moderator2, oliver2002, Prospero and Ocn Vw 1K.

JDiver, Moderator

Aced. Thank you.

User james119 is going on a spam attack right now - I'm alerting mods as I see them pop up.

Thank you. I've notified the Moderators in the Information Desk forum of those posts; the poster has been banned.

Looks like Ron grabbed them on a sitewide cleanup. Thanks from HKG!

Another self-promoting spammer:

This one just showed up in ID Forum:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/members/carder007s.html

Swatted. Thank you.

It's usually aster to report the spam posts by using the "report post to moderator" function. If the forum has appointed Moderators, it will go to all the forum Moderators; if there are none, it will go to the four Senior Moderators, who have cross-forum "powers" and flush the insects out across FlyerTalk.

Here's another, poisoning MilesBuzz, Hotel Deals & ID Forum now. Seems to be the cousin of ajthe who showed up the day before.

ps. Fora RBP sent, like I always do.

Looks like someone took care of this one.

Thanks for clearing the June 2 16 spam so quickly.

There are a couple still there in DESTINATIONS>AMERICAS-USA

Thank you.

One references website carder007. That text should be able to be targeted. He has been a pest for a week.

Currency spammer back again with a different user name. These user names only vary slightly. (I have these listed)
If key words can be banned these are used:- (only the spacing is different)
MSI Forex Exchange
MSIforex Exchange
MSIForexExchange

Another one showed up in Asia Forum the day before:

Another one in Asia Forum...
 

A new spammer had bumped 2 decade-old threads in Asia Forum to promote his rental car services:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/members/bareman.html

BTW, those 2 old threads would fit better in Thailand Forum.

Duly sanitized.

Asante sana, bwana.

Another spammer showed up 3 days ago from China, with an outstanding post hanging in ID Forum:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/members/seehog.html

It may have been me--I was on my way back from China. ;)

I zapped one of his two posts but somehow missed the other. One of the Senior Mods took care of it. Thanks for reporting.

A new Korean spammer just popped up in CBuzz Forum, making 4 posts so far:

Thanks!

Same guy just returned under a new handle, polluting TravelBuzz this time (11 posts and still counting):

ETA: Actually, another one returned 3 hours earlier, poisoning Budget Travel Forum with 6 posts:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/members/momots6018.html

Please ban those Korean spammers' IPs...
 

Perhaps those IPs should have been blocked. The same group of Korean spammers just returned again, SPAM Forum this time around:
