Foreign language? What just happened?

[Mutt Farm]

I returned to NEW POSTS. The page is in a foreign language. I shut down, ran a virus scan, checked my settings re-booted, the whole page is whacked! How do I fix it?

 

[Mutt Farm]

There. Shorthand for: Sorry this has created so much extra strife for all of you.

You all volunteer so many hours to keep this site so rewarding!

Good Job!

We're SO HAPPY to have folks like you dedicated to ensuring OUR enjoyment.

Hi Five

and another HUG!

Seriously, thank you.

Great question!

If they are using multiple accounts, then yes, it would be good to report just one spam post per account to make sure we get them all.

Yes, www.Printerknowledge.com was the first forum I ever started and led me eventually to what BYC is today!

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

We've added some new blocks in place to keep them out of articles and the forum. It adds WAY more work for our moderators since they now have to manually approve all new member posts, but until we find other ways to stop these dirty spammers, it's kinda our only option.

So... make sure to show some huge love to your BYC Moderators!

Yup, we've been getting a wave of spammers trying to push their junk links on BYC.

We try to balance between keeping the junk out while not limiting our legit members. Sometimes it's hard for the automated systems to tell the difference, so that's why we are thankful that our members click the report flag on spam posts.

NOTE: You only need to report one post from the spammer. We'll be able to zap all their posts from just one report.

Thanks for everyone's patience and help as we work through these situations!
