Einstein, a spambot by PM

Onkel Neal · 10-12-07, 05:24 PM

I was alerted by several members that a spambot named Einstein was sending numerous PMs about Buddihism or something. I've deleted that user account and purged the spam from the PM table.

Much appreciated. The spambot didn't even have accurate info about Buddhism. I am happy to know it has been dealt with.

Have fun.

Thankyou.
I thought that it was a genuine new forum member, and welcomed him to the forum.

I told him it was strange to see a Buddhist playing a war simulation.

I figured it might be a 'bot, but I've seen stranger things.

Thx for the help Admin.

Oh.... I thought it was a genuine new member and basically welcomed him to the community and the Silent Hunter series. Oh well..

Saw it. Knew it. Regardless, this is not the forum for that BS. I responded and told him to "Get a Life". No direct attack to any religion, just the idiot prentending to be the Messiah of it. Good removal.

Were people with low post counts the only ones targeted? :hmm:

`Cause it just seems that way since everyone here who has answered have low counts.

Weird.
