[DISC] This is an example of HORRID SPAM - where were you when the Castle was invaded?

Starting from 10:19 am PST, Jing's Castle was invaded by a horrid spammer by the name of LinkBucks.

At approx. 11:00 am, I discovered this horrid spammer and proceeded to BAN and then DELETE this horrid treacherous spammer.

The spam consisted of 5+ pages of the content below. It took approx. 30-45 minutes to erase all 60+ threads of this horrid spam.

The End.


Want to prevent such a HORRID invasion from happening again?

Volunteer as a moderator - or any staff position at the below link:
https://jingcastle.forumotion.net/staff-round-table-f18/official-volunteer-openings-t634.htm

OR the next time a spammer invades Jing's Castle, notify any admin or staff ASAP.
Starting from this week onwards, I will be giving staff members moderating powers as an initial defense tactic haha

Thanks and with cheer,

minchong92

Good catch.

Ya genmaicha, I guess we can update here to let everyone know and keep an eye on the forum for us.

^

Thanks a bunch for that, genmaicha.
I haven't decided yet to either freeze or ban the user, but here's the warning format I used for the PM. What do you guys think? For obvious spammers, should we just take the immediate step to ban them?

If you guys (both staff and non-staff) find any spammers or have any suspicions, please do report them. And after you delete the posts/use moderating powers, please also post a report there~

You're so courteous sending them a nice warning PM hehe
I vote for immediate ban for obvious spammers. No mercy for Jing's Castle invader

Invader is an invader. No excuse. I vote for immediate ban also.
