As a member of the other lemmings forum run by LoftyD, I came across a new member that has been completely spamming out the forums with useless junk. His/her name is Lolly_Sweenybb864 and I wanted to give you guys a heads up so you can be prepared in case he tries to tackle these forums. In case you are wondering, this spammer has been getting into other forums as well when I searched for his name on google.

Dont let this guy ruin our forum if he tries to get into this one!

P.S. Here is the web link for the other forum if you are curious to see what he has done to it:

Mr. K's edit: You probably shouldn't click that link.  It's disgusting porn spam.

Mr. K

Whoa.  That spambot (because it's not a person, it's definitely a bot) is impressive.  I very rarely see one that posts more than once at a single forum, but it's up to over 700 over there in the course of 2 days?  That thing is persistent.

I will definitely be on the lookout.  I've also set a block on that specific user name, so that might throw it off.

PS. Is lofty still managing the place?  It looks like he isn't as nothing of the bot's has been removed...

Nothing has been going on in that forum in last few months, if that is what you mean. Im sure he still checks it out now and then though but obviously hasnt been online since the spammer joined. I have him on my MSN friends list for when I see him again and ill tell him about it.

Wonder who makes these bots to annoy the hell out of everyone...

Mr. K

First off, Dullstar, I hope you're not stupid enough to try submitting this to Slashdot.  This is non-news.  This has been going on at forums for years and years.

Secondly, you don't need a description of what it's going to post.  You will know when it strikes, because the content of the posts is PAINFULLY obvious.  (And will probably ruin your mind)

I did click the link but all I can see is nothing http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />. It's not porn spam on my server.

Also realize that this is from two months ago.

Is LoftyD ever going to come here at some point?

Interesting choice of topic to post this in... you could try contacting him via YouTube to tell him about these forums.

Chmera

  I told him about it via MSN a while back.
  Looks like the forum's dead now, though...

Tim

I once asked him about the reason why he doesnt use these forums. I believe he said that he has some sort of grudge against Mr K and doesnt come to these places anymore. Probably why he made his own lemmings forum site.

Mr. K

Huh, I have no idea what I did to cause that.  Wonderful.

Tim

I dont exactly remember what he said. My only memory is that there is something between you and him. I dont know what it is or how bad it is, but whatever it is it caused him to make his own new forum, so yea http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" class="smiley" />

He doesn't like you because of your stance against spam bots.

Well, we have another spambot desperate to sell World of Warcraft and Aion gold to us Lemmings players, and it's name is yoyohh. I can't say if it's going to get anywhere here, but there you go. Oh, and don't click on its links. It might be bad for your computer's health... and yours if you let it get to you.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/huh.gif" alt="???" title="Huh?" class="smiley" />

Hmm, that was fast.  The member hasn't been deleted yet, but his posts have.
