Doing our best to keep on top of it!
Thanks for helping out mods - it seems to pick up one day then stop all together for a while :/

Hey guys,
I stumbled across what appears to be spam dropped into the comments of this project:

Spammers again!
Seems 1 project has been spamed. If you find anyother ones spamed let's know.

this time they are more clever: They copy arbitray text from xcore to link their sites: https://www.xcore.com/projects/hl1606-driver-xmos (latest 2 comments)

They're getting cheeky. Though I can't help but feel it's only a few guys.
I'm on the site nearly constantly and they seem to strike when I am online so hopefully they'll give up eventually.
Everyone is smart enough to realise they're spammers.
Deleted posts and removed user accounts :)

Isn't it perhaps cheaper to implement us a 'mark as spam' button. So you can concentrate on surfing on and we can simply mark the spam when we see it - so that you can delete it after your lunch break and throw those users out.phalt wrote:They're getting cheeky.
