ALL MEMBERS ON THE LOOK OUT

[tinytomlogan]

We have been getting a lot spammers join recently that are actually real people what look like legitimate posts but attaching 'images' that are actually Malware.

Please can all members keep a look out for this, if you see anything suspicious just hit the report button and let one of the mods decide what to do.

Ive attached an image so you know what to look for but it would be a great help if we can all keep an eye open for these as they are getting far too common.

Any help is much appreciated! I ban a few of these a day and I'm sure other mods do as well. For me in FF with ABP instead of a broken image like what TTL posted, I'll see a copied post followed by the words "Posted Image".

Edit: Image attached.

Will do. Now I probably won't see one for the rest of the day.

Good stuff to know, saw one of these the other day, thought it was just an expired image.

I see quite a fair few status updates with URLs leading to dodgy sites, but there isn't a way to report.

Ah that would explain why Chrome blocked a couple threads due to Malware threats previously, will keep a look out for these spammers and report them asap

Can you block attachment inclusion depending on post count ? A thing that will filter the linkage or summit ?

Tried that, they just post past it first. So its easier to just get rid of them quick. If we work together we can nip these in the bud pretty fast.

Thanks for the heads up TTL. Also a big thanks to the MODs for doing all of this!

I keep forgetting about the report button, i'll try to remind myself to report them from now on.

Updated my first post with the image.
