SPAM WARNING! A Heads Up

[Dullstar]

Sorry for the double post, but you might want to look at this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=Ht0&q=yoyohh&start=0&sa=N

It has hit hard, from the looks of things, though I may be wrong.

[Mr. K]

I got it already.  Account deleted now, too.

Second link down.

"Your one stop shop for all things serial killer related."

 

[Dullstar]

What the heck is that doing there?

[Chmera]

Went on SKCentral. I'm curious as to why people frequent it...

[Clam]

"yoyohh" just hit Lemmings Heaven. Same WoW gold stuff we got here.

[Dullstar]

I think they already cleaned that up...

[Clam]

(edit) Seems to be over now. I've quoted this post for reference but made it smaller so as not to cause further alarm

ATTENTION ALL LEMMINGS FORUMERS (real ones, anyway)

The forum is currently under attack from spammers / spambots.

DO NOT open any posts by "monday4age" or "spanklube", or any other user you don't know (in case more spammers show up after I post this).
DO NOT open any attachments by these users. (The previous point ought to cover this, of course)
DO NOT open your PM until the moderator arrives.

Also, please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the ignore list and personal messaging options.

Stay safe, folks.

Looks like we got actual humans instead of bots for a change.

And for the archives:

[Mr. K]

Okay, cleaned up.  Jeez, of course they had to hit RIGHT after I went to bed, otherwise I would have gotten them a lot quicker.  Looks as if somebody has some beef with us and/or just wants to troll.

Update:  It seems I won't be getting a break any time soon, as more ugly posts are showing up.  I apologize about this, and I hope nobody is getting too horribly scarred.  I'm watching for them, and if you see them just keep sending me mod reports.  I'm clearing them out as fast as I see them.

[mobius]

wow, you guys got on that fast, I never saw them at all. 

...idk tho, "spanklube" sound kind of intriguing... 

[ccexplore]

If you must know, it's basically pictures (as in drawn like comics, not photos) of lemmings (as in game character and not the real animal) porn.  The IRC logs probably have more details on the incident.

Frankly, I'm far more curious whether the pictures were merely copied from pre-existing pictures out on the Internet, or whether the human spammer actually took the sad effort to create the pictures himself.

[mobius]

I was being sarcastic, I didn't want to know 

but learning that makes me

Right guys, after being unwell again for a long period - lengthy hospital stays, etc, I've been given the all-clear yet again this week. I'm trying to build my life back together, but I'm going to get back on top with moderating here.

I'm hosting quite a few sites right now, and LF is one site which desperately needs some TLC.

As well as RTPing, if you feel something requires urgent attention, email me with something along the lines of URGENT SPAM in the title - email address is adam[at]lemmingsforums.com.

[mobius]

woah, sorry to hear you've been in the hospital. that's no fun, I hope you recover!
