Spammer at large, and he is 'M. Norton.

And he is pissing off a few of your regulars as well.

Thanks Pilrig.

Hello guys, the gates have been breached...there are dodgy people posting rubbish about pharmacutical stuff!

Sheila is right
Spam alert

Hello Engine room.........more nasties are getting through...

Can somebody explain to me in plain english please why Jake is allowed to post & contaminate every single topic of conversation!
I have just about had it with his disgusting sexual innuendos under the guise of born again christianism or whatever it is meant to be.

Fine if he would only stick to his own threads...but the problem being no one else joins in so he migrates everywhere across the board.

Okay the rednecks & the antipodeans find him funny but the rest of us cannot get any serious dialogue going because of his continual intervention

Call me Mrs fussy if you want but it's getting beyond a joke.

I second what Sheila said... Very offensive IMHO also!

Thirded and fourthed !

I have to say that there are times when I'm embarassed to be the same gender.

Cannot begin to comprehend why someone who professes to be such an ardent follower of any religion let alone Christianity should seem to derive so much pleasure from being so gratuitously offensive and intolerent to his fellow beings.
Old enough to know better!
I only hope that this is his 'Net Ninja persona and he's really a sweetie to those brave souls who have to live with him.
New Years Resolution was to give up interacting with him.
Max Ehrmann got it right about loud and aggressive people being a vexation to the soul!

TD.

....for me it's the continual innuendos about cats & love injections that get my goat...the rest of it i can handle.

this is the bit that's hard to understand...and even harder to deal with.

The gates have been breached and there is a Gremlin at large over on General Forteana....some spam rubbish by the look of it.

Oh, Thanks Sheila, I didn't see your post and have put a warning there.

Nic

Gees,
There is another dodgy spam porn link put up in General Forteana.
The poster had the cheek ( pardon pun ) to add his photo to his user name.
It has been reported, and I hope this stops as these images are graphic

Take it the Moderator is soaking up the sun in Acuapulco again....Hello....anybody there....calling the Engine room...Help needed!

I've reported it Sheila, just doing a bit of looking at who is doing this, they are a Turkish hacking group called Turk-h.Org. I think the one responsible for this goes by the name of F34RL355 ( or Fearless in English ).
If I had more time on my hands, I would dedicate it to doing the same to them ( except by posting something much nicer, say bunnies or kittens on their website ).
Regards
Nic

Further to my above post,
It looks like this group have been doing it for a while, the scary thing is there are reports of other forums losing everything.
You might want to pass this on to the Engine Room or whoever is maintaining the forum, maybe an idea would be to have e-mail only account verification to stop these intruders??
Hope this helps.

You are right. These Turks attacked our german/austrian/swiss forum some 2 or 3 years ago. One sunday all was gone. But we got it back and changed our HTTP.

Lots of hackers from Turkey, Russia and China these days ...

Feliks is in Acapulco? I don't mind. I'm off for some skiing. Best time of the year.

I'm shocked that no one has blamed the Vatican yet...

TCP

The hacker is still about and registered...emergency telex to Acapulco has been sent

what is a 404 error, anyone know?

this is the message i get when i try to post......

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/posting.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

i think it's just a glitch...keep trying.

Is anyone else getting this message or having problems posting on the forum?
I have tried using 3 different computers today as well as my phone but I am unable to post on the main forum, I have been able to post once elsewhere though. This has been an issue for a couple of weeks and seems to be happening more frequently. I have tried logging out then back in but it makes no difference.......HELP.

I get this too from time to time but it usually doesn't last for more than an hour or two. Have you spoken to Andy about it?

TCP

I can't help, I'm sorry to say, but if it's any consolation, it's been happening to me a fair bit too recently, so it's not just you, but some sort of technical glitch on the Forum, a time-out problem as best as I could tell, shutting one out when it's taking too long to execute a command. So definitely a Forum problem, not a tingra's computer(s) problem.

I have PMd Andy, hopefully he can sort it out. It is strange that i can post here, send a PM but nothing on the main forum

Pesky gremmlin in the works.
