All these Rok accounts

[ouvreur]

Is there a way these numerous accounts whose names all end in -Rok can be got rid of? They went wild overnight...

 

[Steve Boyd]

Now they're taking the piss

click on the caution sign at the bottom of their posts and send to admins.

I've been doing that for a while, but the recent avalanche would take almost hours (since you can only report one post per minute), and the simple solution - deleting any account ending in -Rok - would solve all of this garbage. It's too much now.

MaryROK is back !!!!

I apologise if there's something I'm missing, but how hard can it be to just ban any account whose name ends in Rok, and stop any such new accounts being created? It's never-ending.

There are, of course, bigger problems facing the world and even this forum, but come on. It surely wouldn't take much to stop this constant annoyance?

Eva Rok is back Spamming again , its getting beyond a joke now.

 

[Paul Hudson]

More ROK Spammers.

 

[AndyRAC]

And again, this time Jim Rok......

 

[AndyRAC]

And now Alan Rok........

 

[WRCStan]

Hahaha. This forum is just a flat-roofed pub.

 

[ouvreur]

At least 12 topics spammed by these clowns. Honestly, how hard can it be to just permanently ban them, and any account with Rok in the name? It's such crap.

 

[flat_right]

Does this forum even have admins or moderators? To whom can we complain to?

 

[AndyRAC]

It's beyond a joke, virtually every thread full of Rok spam.......

 

[ouvreur]

Honestly, this place is completely unusable for me with all this shit.

I'd happily act as a mod to get rid of them, even if all I could do is ban Rok accounts and delete their posts.

When you are reporting spam, I am trying to delete them (when you report spam, there is fuction which can remove all posts from that account easily). True is that in last weeks I am almost out of home/computer due to travelling to the events (and back), so my reactions are slower than it should be. But I am only moderator, I cannot do anything with the system. This can be done only by Mark I think.

 

[WRCStan]

Can we try creating an account called AshRok after deleting the current one?

 

[CWJ]

its a 2minute job in the backend to delete all these spam accounts and set new profile confirmation to automatic spam protaction

like this now it makes no sense to come to the forum anymore

 

[Sulland]

Is Mark still active on the forum?
Does someone know him, and can give him a nudge, that his admin services are needed, or new admins need to be appointed.
I am ready to serve if needed!

If I remember correctly this forum has not been updated bcs it needs to fund activities either paid subscription or donations or smth similar like that or the other option was leave it as it is.
So for those moaners please understand that as If I remember correctly one option was to close this space for good.
Hopefully we can have Mark or Pino online soon...
