This account continues to bombard us with spam so why is it still here? 77 spam messages and been on here over a year? Just a suggestion that maybe close the account?
I am with you on this one Northerner, I frequent this site less & less as I am more likely to find spam than anything useful or like-minded people. It’s a shame as I do like the site.
I don't know if it's related but there is company called Priva and the president is William Sibert, I've dug up some info on www.priva-tech.com which now seems to be defunct. https://web.archive.org/web/20180210155210/http://www.priva-tech.com/ This is one of the links, anybody feel like calling this guy to get the rundown? Most links go to this website, they used to go to some lawyer pages. Nick might be innocent and someone he pissed off might be backlinking his website but Google will delist his site if they think he's doing it. https://prowly.com/magazine/stop-spam-backlinks-ruining-google-reputation/
It would be worth trying to contact him find out more. The Spam only started about a month ago. I recently got emails from two different companies, the second being Norton to say that a password I used to use extensively is available for sale in a pack on the "dark web". I am 90% certain that was due to one of the well publicised data breaches, as before then a company I deal with contacted me to say that I should update my Passwords as that one was no longer secure.
To be honest, it’s not our problem if this guys account has been compromised. His account should either be suspended or permanently removed. Looks to me like the mods are napping, else they would have noticed that the account is still posting cr4p. What is the point of them keep removing the posts, if the account only keeps coming back and posting more junk.
Its really sad to see for days this a$$hole posting nonsense and our caring administrators are not doing anything about it. How long will it take to ban this guy?????
They seem to show up about every three weeks, so about two more weeks and thousands of posts. I'm afraid to say T-ster, he doesn't seem to enjoy his role but he does tend to show up if I mention his name.
hello everyone, yes I too have gotten some spam like the norton but I don't use norton anyway I hope we can get the issue cleared up
Well i wouldn't say that, I do enjoy being a part of the forums. I admit i browse less now that a lot of the boombox guys aren't here as much but i'm always around. If i don't catch it right away a pm will do the trick. I have been logging in much more lately however.
Tag me in next time, as soon as i saw this message i banned them and removed threads. I'm trying to be on it.
What is worrying is the number of other accounts that seem to have been set up recently. I can't believe they are all genuine audio enthusiasts.
yet another "sleeper" had made the move: @OlegkJem with an ad for stockings Yes! this here is the right crowd for such things! Already PM-ed to @T-ster
He is banned now. Looks like there is a new tool in place for me to ban and clean up in one or two clicks which is great. I'm on it as much as i can
