Slartibartfast Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Spam never sleeps! At least it's still crude enough to recognize easily. I imagine it'll get worse once the muppets behind it discover AI. @RedPath88, if you want to throw some mod perms at me, I can clean up the ones I see. I'm around most days anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I'm down for that too. Hell I've been around long enough I should be doing some of the modding by now lol. I take care of the https://cntc.ca forums now too. Spam is a pain but there are ways to mitigate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Hey @RedPath88 I'm more than happy to assist if you need for the spam, I am seeing a lot of it now. Let me know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) FYI ALL, this has not gone unnoticed. I have recently spent a massive amount of time working "out of town" and sadly will be again in just a handful of months. I also need to get the forum software company engaged for some long overdue and much needed updates, which, at this point requires their support. This is the overwhelming issue at this point, which dates back to 2020'ish, as in my line of work the needs that arose then resulted in demands for those within my line of work, well have simply not stopped. Not making excuses, just pointing out my failures to the community. More to come as I reach out to the backend support team... On the flip side, I scored a deal this past weekend on a 99.9% new MIG welder, w/full setup, including a gas bottle! In the mean time I may contact some for anti-SPAM support, even if it's only in the shorterm. Edited April 9 by RedPath88 Details 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell you can move it to my server which is already hosting a couple other forums... I've got 4 TB of space and dual xeon cpus on my rackmount dell server . I keep things behind a virtualized pfSense firewall and it seems to keep the noise down. Lets chat. We all get busy and life happens. I know we work in adjacent industries, its bit a total @!*% show since 2020. Edited April 10 by adamzan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
