Did anyone else get his PM? I'm hoping it's a spambot, because it's either that or there's some religious zealot stalking me around here. :eekdance:


Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

He signed up on Mar 22, has no posts, and over 20 people have checked out his profile.


I'm like 75% sure it's a bot, unless someone told him I'm a heathen and need saving or something. :lol:

You know you wanna be a buddhist :P

but yes.. fixed.

The issue is the reCaptcha human verification system we were using broke but broke in such a way that it allowed registration without said verification.

It's temporarily fixed until the permanent solution comes :)

A secondary issue is that we have a VERY good spam detection system in place that works excellently, but it only checks posts and not private messages :P I'll have to look into implementing that part myself.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though I've been investigating and fixing for the past 30 mins or so anyway (got a PM from evolv last night).

The option I'm strongly considering is not allowing sending private messages until a user has X number of posts (probably 5)

he doesn't love you, or he thinks you're already buddhist.

He's been deleted for an hour or so :)

Wow, those things are getting smarter and more desperate.

Thanks for clearing that up, kansei. Now that I know Buddah's not after me, I can go back to being a Rastafarian. :shady:

I am an admin on a cx-7 forum and that exact user spammed about 15 people in the span of 2 days. Banned, he came back as a different user. IP blocked via vbulletin, no more reports.

he's IP blocked but it's very easy to get around that with anonymous proxies

Maybe James is too busy transcending a personal God & avoiding dogmas and theology to waste any more time on us. :dunno:

lol, i got the PMs earlier today. Nice to see things were solved... sorry for my late post. I figured that since I couldn't find him in AdminCP it had been taken care of.

F*in idiot spam.

It pisses me off the same as the first spam I got at a new email address. DAMNIT!

yay I got spamed I feel so loved. ;)

Thought it was kinda crazy way to seek out new buddist though kinda odd to be looking for them on a car fourm? I mean were just big hairy american winning machines not buddist material really.
