    Spammers Have Invaded C&R Section

    Seen it on the other forums but not here til now. Today is especially brutal. Does Calguns not require email verification?

      They're relentless... I have a commercial website and thought it might be nice to have a private for sale page and it took about a week for the spammers/scammers to take it over. So I changed the rules and previewed every post before posting it. My email box overflowed in a short time. I found it just wasn't worth screwing with it and killed the idea and the email address.... I wasn't big enough to warrant fighting them...

        Just report them and the cleaning crew will take care of the rest.

        You live in California. There's always more crazy. It's a renewable resource.

          It's annoying because tapatalk gives a notification every time they start a thread.

            Yeah that would suck, I turned off notifications.

              Normally you can spot a spam thread by the title... hit spam and move on

              If you want email verification, arf is your forum...
              Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

              Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

              Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

              Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
              (thanks to Jeff Cooper)

                Usually I can spot it, but lately they have been getting better. What is so bad about when you sign up you get an email that you have to click a link? I thought Calguns did this as well, but if they do how are so many spam accounts getting through?

                  I remember in order to post anything you need to verify and submit information but I am unsure if calguns still does it. on the akfiles I haven't really seen spammers but it might be because I only use the market place.
                  retreat! we must go comrade we will fight again another day.
