EDIT: know any usernames of these spammers? tell me and i'll list them below.

Yes, if you have been up late and looked at projects on 10-4-11 and 9-27-11, you should've foundma comment with an online store spam. so far, i've found two of them. one was on MY PROJECT, which was irritating.

i only remember one of the usernames: [removed]. ˇ▲ˇ one thing i oppose of this:
1. scratchers can be extremely young and can easily go to that ad which can cause money issues
2. this is an EDUCATIONAL site, not youtube or facebook or a spam site, so why put an ad like that?

so if you find one of those, please flag it, report to the scratch team, (this is optional) tell JJROCKER because he's curious about it, and the scratch team will try to solve it. hopefully this horror will end
and wouldn't spa, bots be smart enough to see the »☆.EDU☆« in the URL?

[removed. Please don't list names of users who are spamming or doing bad things on the website]

sorry mods D:

uh
spammers don't care where
they spam everywhere

JJROCKER · 2011-10-04 23:58:30

They don't even read their messages because they can't. By the time they get the messages, they are either banned or their comments are flagged so there's no point. All you need to do is flag.

but think about it. An educational website. A place where mostly kids go to. wold they wanna buy some “clothing” and stuff. so technically it's a waste of time.

All commercial spam is. Unfortunately, not everyone is kind like scratchers are.

Most commercial spammers just bounce from site to site without thinking twice about who's reading it. As long as they can get the link in wherever possible, they're content.

And in the case of spambots, of course, there's really no morals or standards at all.

The Scratch Team knows ways to get rid of them tongue

helltank · 2011-10-05 00:13:29

IP Ban. Spambots usually won't go to the trouble of using a proxy or changing their IP. They'll just attack a weaker site. Path of least resistance.

I think the Scratch Team has already tried that. But anyway, they have other ways ^V^

More. But it's completely fine.

For them, they think it's worth it because they can't get people to buy their items.

The funny part is, most of the advertised sites don't even have any content on it. tongue
