It would be nice if spammers like this kayla could be stopped and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Really messes up a great place like this.rocfighter - 15-11-2011 at 04:47 AM
Kayla is a very board person. Must have no life.Brent_P - 15-11-2011 at 05:00 AM
the worst part is the classifieds... the spammer is digging up old posts in the forsale forum... people with kites for sale two years ago are going to
start getting inquiries on kites that are long gone...
It would be good if the admin could reset the forum back to yesterday before 'kayla' took over...indigo_wolf - 15-11-2011 at 07:24 AM
294 posts and counting.... sent PKF a couple of spam reports. Hopefully he can just nuke and vapor the entire account.

It's too bad there isn't a way to catch it quicker. I was online last night when there was the first 2 posts, then 3, then each minute another. There
were only 5 when I logged off. I think it would require having others moderator privileges to stop the member spamming.BeamerBob - 15-11-2011 at 09:06 AM
Wow, I read this and wondered what the big deal was, then noticed that "Todays Posts" has 5 pages. Wow. This smells of jonesy. Lots and lots of
effort with its only focus to annoy or defraud others. A spammer would feel he had gotten his message across with 10 posts.snowspider - 15-11-2011 at 09:14 AM
Yea the for sale list is really trashed.elnica - 15-11-2011 at 09:22 AM
a question like "How many meters does a 14m kite have?" in the registration page should help. Not sure how the thing got past the captcha checkpoint
but two checkpoints are always better than one.lamrith - 15-11-2011 at 09:24 AM
With the post count for the user I was wondering if it was a board member that got hacked?WELDNGOD - 15-11-2011 at 09:30 AM
no, we have been poking at "jonsey" and this is his retort if you will. Bob will nuke him asap. But,he will return:evil:elnica - 15-11-2011 at 09:37 AM
it was a chinese spambot. binbin9001@tom.com
I went to tom.com and its all in chinese... or at least I think it's chinese.BeamerBob - 15-11-2011 at 12:44 PM
I noticed that an unusual amount of the spammed threads are about the little weasel. How pathetic a life he must have. He thinks he hurts commerce
somehow by doing this stuff when it really dumps a huge admin load on those that have to delete the junk.skelman - 15-11-2011 at 01:10 PM
Well I was pretty excited about all the "For Sale" posts I needed to catch up on today until I read what was actually posted. Brent_P - 15-11-2011 at 01:22 PM
Thanks for cleaning up the site mods hopefully wasn't too much work!pyro22487 - 15-11-2011 at 01:44 PM
I read this and couldn't figure out what the fuss was about found a few pages where spam had been reported and deleted. Secondwind was kind enough to
quote one of them and leave it in the kite review sections and now I understand and props to admins for fixing the problems....
I particularly like the avitar character on its profile "SPAMMER" and then the word banned written on the member status.wheresthewind? - 15-11-2011 at 08:04 PM

i concur wholeheartedly..... yesterday i reported a post from kayla, then went back to see the latest news,and there were a bunch
more--i was pissed--these aholes really need to get a life---if i ever meet one of them on the kite field, they will have a chance to fly my blade
10.5--in 40 mph winds, preferably......shehatesmyhobbies - 16-11-2011 at 06:35 AM
The last I looked there were already about 300 post. I was up early that morning and there were 0 post, I made one post and then there were 10. Kayla
moved fast and kept moving for over 4 hours.
hopefully wasn't too much work!
