http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/6262/Is it just me or is that advertising? o.o I reported one of the posts to Ian. Anyone seen this happen before? I've seen it on other forums, but this is the first time I've seen it on eggcave. The weird thing is that some of these accounts register as a week old, so this could have happened before...EDIT: Look at the posts later in the thread, that's where most of the spam is. The top looks pretty normal.

Hmmmmm...... I agree with you there...

Major spamming. >.< It's annoying and pointless.
dionaea • 9 September 2011 at 3:26 PM
Yeah, I know right... I just wonder how it got in there, whether it's a person or some kind of bot/program doing it. If it's one of these automatic things it's definitely a problem...

@dionaeaYeah noticed it some ago.Egg Cave needs anti-bot protection. (those Captcha things)

There's nothing wrong with feeding topics... As long as you aren't just telling people to feed your pets, right?

@petpet55 Ohmigosh *Facepalm*
dionaea • 9 September 2011 at 4:00 PM
Ah, so it is that âšī¸ And yeah, Ian will probably have to introduce those captcha things too, at the very least for creating an account...
petpet55 • 9 September 2011 at 4:02 PM
@smiliesI know, haha. xD@dionaeaWell yeah. I kinda dislike those stuff, but they are needed đ
dionaea • 9 September 2011 at 4:05 PM
I don't like em much either, I often get them wrong at first X| But if it prevents stuff like this it's definitely better, because for now it's only one thread, but if it gets worse it can seriously ruin the fun of the forums âšī¸

@dionaeaYou got that one right.Was surprised when saw EC doesn't have one thou. Like all sites have it in some form nowadays.
dionaea • 9 September 2011 at 4:12 PM
Yeah, me too, I'd expected it to be introduced with V2, I was surprised not to get one when I made my newest side-account o.o

@Dionaea: Ugh... That's definitely spam. I've ended up reporting a few people who have no eggs and just log on to post advertisements on popular forums...

@dionaeaTEZ SPAMMERS ARE SO ANNOYING SOME NEEDS TO WIPE THEM OUTAND ITS NOT FAIR TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING-
evolutary • 10 September 2011 at 3:27 AM
What kind of no lifers post advertisements on threads?? This is an outrage! D:<Those stuff remind of this game I use to play - there's always some people with random names like hjkrth saying 'Go to -insert site here- and get 20$ (yes, they put the dollar sign wrong) of -insert 1000000000 game money here- just put your password and username and you will get it!' Such spam and scam. Sigh, will this type of spam keep building up?

dionaea • 10 September 2011 at 5:25 AM
It's really getting bad now, yesterday it was just one thread, now it's multiple... I guess the bots have finally found out we exist... âšī¸
evilyowling • 10 September 2011 at 5:28 AM
I know! D: Stop the off-site Advertising!
celeste • 10 September 2011 at 5:43 AM
Darn.... I wanted to advertise my art...hard XD At least you know I'm real... And watching you.. that's right- I'm a true-blue Asian weirdbot Xd

@CelesteIt's okay because you don't spam it everywhere đWow the livepulse has almost buried this topic. I'm really appalled at the behaviour of advertising...
