Whats up with all this forum spam from tipcell.com??

I find it very annoying.

I sure will not be purchasing from that site!

Anyone else find this odd??

Yes. And did you notice that this appeared shortly after TMac went on vacation?

I wonder if this can be blocked?

I can't block the user, but I did delete all the threads. This is the second time I've done this with that user.

If I could delete the user I would do it!

is Tmac the only board admin? Since this is vBulletin you should have something in the mod section that allows you to ban by username at least?

I use the Spam Decimator on another forum, works very well.
(sorry had to use google cache since vbull forum is down)

spdrcr5 is also an admin and he can block the user.

This is exactly how the spam attacks have occurred for as long as the ROC has been around. One person comes in and spams for a day or two and then gets the clue and moves on.

We will do our best to stay on top of it.

I banned tipcell. Sorry, but I was sleeping! lol :D

It's some a$$hole company from China that decided to spam the site. They shouldn't be back. Now I have to go check the EOC. lol

exactly my point! Him taking off on vacation is the only explanation for why tipcell was able to spam the site as often as they did. We'll blame this all on Tom and wanting to spend time with his family. :D
