More spambots

[lubeybooby]

Tech! MNHQ! Quiiiiick!

aaarrgghhhh fucking annoying spambots.

[lubeybooby]

have been reporting the threads btw.

[HazeltheMcWitch]

But they've chuffed up their links tonight!

[WhereYouLeftIt]

How shit must those fights be, that they need to advertise by spamming Mumsnet, of all sites?

[lubeybooby]

God knows. we've been a real target the last few days. Fed up of it now especially at night when HQ are all asleep

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Ooh, and they've ventured out of chat tonight.

[FreeButtonBee]

Christ. Two nights in a row. This isno good for late night BF session! Tech - sort it out!!

[DeepRedBetty]

Missed last night - was it bad? - will go back to Report and then Hide....

[lubeybooby]

MNHQ need a wallace and gromit style system to tip them out of their beds and to the deleting system

More spam grommit?

[ClayDavis]

I think you've got a problem in AIBU. More of a problem than usual anyway.

[Cheddars]

What's the best thing to do? Ignore or report?

[lubeybooby]

I'm just reporting them then hiding them

[DoubleLifeIsALifeHalved]

I've been reporting, but not liking it tonight, amid the bots and the vile trolls it doesn't feel a very friendly place to be

[OvO]

I can't take it anymore, I'm defecting to Netmums.

J/K, I'm off to bed though, so chuffing annoying. WAKE UP MNHQ!

[lubeybooby]

If you go into customise, you can select to have a hide button next to the threads in active convos, which makes it a lot easier to deal with.

[Cheddars]

I blame all those Klaxon threads about pus. We've been crying Wolf for months but now we really need a KLAXON!!!!

[GothAnneGeddes]

Some sites do have a special word/phrase to summon mods, it could work well here.

[lubeybooby]

come on MNHQ it's been an hour now since the first one :(

[DeepRedBetty]

I've worn out my Reporting Finger. Off to bed and hope Tech has felt up to leaving her long enough to deal with the buggers by the morning.

[FellNel]

It's quite funny really that they should be advertising 'fight night' on Mumsnet. Quite apt sometimes.

[ClayDavis]

Even funnier that they've chosen AIBU to advertise it in. Ckearly haven't read the message at the top about it not being fight club.

[garlicbrain]

I've emailed you (contactus) with a possible short-term fix for Tech :)

[FellNel]

It's getting worse. It's over the whole board but they seem to be working their way through the alphabet. There are loads in Baby Names as well. I'm actually giving up now because it's hard to find an active topic that isn't spam.

(well, that and have to get up no anyway.)
