Pink Poogle Toy Forum

Hmmm Im wondering why Im receiving PM Spam here, about domain names... and also one that I consider inappropriate also which was from a mod.

I havent been here for a while, but woke to find about 7 emails directing me to PMs here that were spam about domain names

Hope someone can look into these.
Many thanks.

Well, one of them was from me by mistake.
I have a bad habit. I yell bad things (within PPT rules) at spammers.
BUT. I forgot about the reply all. XD

The domain name one was sent to everybody on the site (all the usergroups were included). I haven't received any others though.
There have beem some other spambots running around, but the admins are getting rid of them pretty quick.

Yes, I've gotten two over the past few days (not counting the replying to them *nudgeDMnudge*) The admins are getting rid of them though, so no worries.

Well I suck.
Apparently, I don't count as everyone.

The forum staff has taken the appropriate actions on this. I apologize for the inconvenience; the spam annoyed me too this morning.

As a bonus heads-up, the latest phpbb update transforms the "Reply" button into a "Reply All" button (which is why there is no dedicated Reply All button anymore); be mindful of what happens when you press it.

The best policy is not to reply to spam threads or PMs; feel free to forward the message/a link to the thread to the appropriate moderators/admins.

That's really, REALLY bad. Is there a hack you can use to change it back?

I can't tell you how many people have gotten in trouble after hitting "Reply All" and not knowing who they were sending a message to.

Its not hard to check and make sure that the 'to' field only has one name or doesn't have a certain name in it...

Thankyou Pudding, thats great to know you are looking into it ..

SS:)

This is me we're talking about, okay? XD
I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, that's for damn sure.

You know, i agree with TOSO here (Shock horror!) I love that we now have a reply all function, but it would be much better to still have the option of the reply and reply all buttons - or at least make the button say reply all so people know. i didnt realise straight away.

I agree.

Despite it being so "obvious" to some people, I don't see what's the harm in having both "reply" and "reply all" buttons.

I didn't receive the original message, but I did receive the responses. Imagine my surprise when I read DM's response first thing in the morning. Well, it's good to know it was taken care of. Good job, Mods.

And I agree that it would be super sweet to have both a reply and a reply all button.
