Spam Reviews?
« on: July 31, 2007, 03:48:23 PM »
I just got an email notification that I had new reviews (for a story I haven't worked on in ages, go figure), so I went to read the reviews and there's now about 26 reviews on chapter six, most featuring 'buy viagra' and links to buy games and other such things... Is anyone else having this? Or is it just me?

(The spam reviews are here: http://absolutechaos.net/reviews.php?sid=4976&chapid=6064 -- If a mod could delete them I'd be forever grateful...)

You poor thing were probably excited to see a bunch of new reviews and then it was all "buy Viagra"...  wow, that sucks hun. I've never seen that before. You must just be lucky.

I deleted them all for you. I hate when that happens and the thing is when you go to delete them from register users they aren't there! Ugh! Sorry again!

you could and then put it up again, that might stop it from happening. I just went to delete them again but i'm assuming you already took the story down because I didnt find anything lol

Yeah, I did. If I ever get around to writing on it again, I'll repost it, but right now it's no big deal. I'm just hoping the spammers don't attack any of my other stories

ugh! I usually delete them as soon as they make an account but I missed these two.

At least they are poeting in the general threads which is odd lol
