MNHQ here <waves> re. spam

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello

Just to let you know that we are dealing and exterminating; thanks for all the reports. Hope you'll understand if we don't have time to come on to all the various different threads about this right now.

[Tee2072]

I made the same suggestion, Tapir. I don't know if HQ have done it or not.

Remember, if you hide the threads, other threads will appear on Active!

[LIZS]

They're still appearing !

[MmeLindor]

yes, had another look at the threads. I think you are correct. Poor Tech, must be manic at MNHQ.

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

No attacking AIBU. Still reporting but not sure if should be?

[Sparklingbrook]

I think if you report. Post 'reported' on the thread. I assume that's helpful re multiple reports?

[MrsJREwing]

still loads

[Sparklingbrook]

Same here Five. But the NN seems to change a lot.

[MmeLindor]

Not sure if it helps or just makes it worse, if we are all reporting threads. Hopefully one of MNHQ will pop in and tell us.

[MooncupGoddess]

Ugh. Could MN make the registration process a bit more complicated (e.g. having to identify mixed-up letters on the screen or something) to deter them, or does it not work like that?

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

I have been doing that and just hiding those already done.

[Thumbwitch]

Hope you can fix up an appropriate defence against them! Bloody annoying, they are.

[Tee2072]

Most of the bots can get through that moon. Their tech is more advanced than most Captcha tech.

Sad but true...

[Sparklingbrook]

At least with the huge thread titles they are easy to stop.

[Sparklingbrook]

Not stop-spot.

[LineRunner]

Just reported another few.

Don't stand in Spam, Rowan

Please do tell us what will make your lives easier at the Towers

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

We seem to have moved on from football.

[PlentyOfPubeGardens]

for the troops.

[Sparklingbrook]

It's a bit like this

[Tee2072]

I have this mental image of HQ with red lights flashing and people yelling across the room 'There's 12 more in Bloggers! Get on it STAT!'

'Roger!'

and the sound of electronic laser fire as they are deleted and blocked....

[stoatie]

sad gits (spammers)

[Sparklingbrook]

It must be like the control panel of the Tardis.

[Tee2072]

This is what I'm thinking, Sparkling.

I am expecting a picture of The Doctor on the MN Facebook page any second now.

[MmeLindor]

Damn. Tee. Now I have Dr Who them tune in my head
