Has this happened to everyone...

We have used Spam-O-Matic for many years and it helps, but it is outdated technology, and we do ban certain ip ranges, but there are many ways to get around that. Hackers use proxy servers, VPNs and TOR. There is just no way to keep them out, at least not with our level of security software and we have pretty good stuff.

Sites like ours are unique and make for a prime target because our membership consists of senior citizens perceived to have high accumulated wealth, who are known to use outdated technology, older un-secure browsers and antivirus protection and easy to remember passwords (that they often forget). Two thirds of senior citizens have been the victim or target of an online scam. http://chestertownspy.org/2017/03/0...o-thirds-of-seniors-have-been-scammed-online/ Do NOT click on any link that looks suspicious, whether in a post on the forum or a post via PM. Report any message that looks suspicious.

Please bear with me, I will come up with a best option for getting this resolved, but for now I had to bandaid it. At the moment I have a lot on my plate. I am dealing with a family member crisis in Alabama that has needed me there and I am slammed at work with multiple trike builds. Trike kits and parts I have needed to complete a couple of the builds were shipped but not able to get into Houston due to the terminals flooding and were returned to the factories so this has put be behind on a couple of them and my customers are understandably not happy right now. I am praying for Grace and understanding for what is beyond my control, but some people do not want to hear it.

I'm sure everyone on this forum understands......And if they don't understand, Like Marie A once said ...Let them eat Cake....

Zook,,,

Ever since Jack has started posting the daily birthdays, just for funsies and because there's a LOT of the names I have never seen post anything, I see a LOT of them are just garbage. For instance, in today's birthdays there is one named ittycahvs6629 described as first name Man, from Malaysia and his current ride is AnthonyRorPJ....

REALLY?

He joined 8/06/17 and has never posted anything.

I have run across quite a few weird ones like this on the birthday list and highly suspect that they are not legit.

 

[trike lady]

and that name is spammers. Good catch. I can look down the members on line right now and pick out the spammers.

Todays birthdays have always been posted for years.... Right under ;Top 20 Thread posters....:Shrug: I was on another forum and it had a feature you can click on with a list of members in alphabetical order , And how many times that member has posted, Quite a few as in a lot, Never even posted once... :Shrug: And 25% less than 5 times..

 

[trike lady]

Can someone give me a 'Security Clearance' to go in and clean out the spammers? I can do a pick and remove of the ones that are in hiding and waiting to attack.

Val,

Any member can also review the entire member listing by clicking the "Community" tab at the top of the page, then click "Member List".

I have attached just a small sampling of spammer names from the member list. Some of these spammers may have already been banned:

Okay.

I did a 'pull' of those from 1-2017 to present and there are a lot under different starting alphabets and not banned yet.
