SithLordOfSnark 78 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 What is up with the spam filters on Icy-Veins? I have been getting flooded by spam for a few days now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien 1,514 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 As in you received personal messages? On the forums, we had to remove our 1-post moderation policy temporarily, so that people could participate in our giveaway. It'll go back to normal once the giveaway is over.

positiv2 953 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 I try to deal with all the spam thread. I check usually every 30 minutes, so they usually stay only when I'm asleep. Sorry for the inconvenience. Only 2 days to go and most of the stuff should be back to normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SithLordOfSnark 78 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 @Damien: No. I subscribe to the forums so I get notified of any new messages, and I'm just getting hit by tons of spam right now. Glad to hear it will be over soon, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
positiv2 953 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 I guess you already unsubscribed. If not, I highly recommend you to do so. Thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SithLordOfSnark 78 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 Nah. I'll just live with it - I was just wondering what was going on. I just mass delete anything from Icy Veins right now. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien 1,514 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 Sorry about that. We've had thousands of people register an account to enter our Legion beta key giveaway, and it wouldn't have been practical to manually approve the first post of all these people. So, we chose to manually deal with spammers instead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KookyQT 7 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) o.O Oh my gosh. Someone is working nonstop to flood the forms with spam topics like a mad man. And you guys are filtering through all of that manually? .... I tip my hat. You all deserve cookies. Seriously.Especially since I'm one of those thousands of people.... <.< >.> Kinda makes one appreciate things even more. <3 Edited March 29, 2016 by KookyQT 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien 1,514 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 The mod interface makes it easy to delete every post made by a single user. The annoying part is noticing them fast enough. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that's honestly a relief to hear. You guys are doing a great job, I hadn't even noticed it until like 3 am. You know, that time, that no sane human is awake. :P But woah, seeing it happen, I tell you. Battling that, even for the short time, has gotta be a full time job.

Clearly the take away from all of this, is, the moment you hear beta keys come in, you all need to cash in on a nice two week vacation! >: ) The site will be fine in your absence.

KookyQT 7 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 Oh. Oh good. For you see, I have a 12 part plan towards world domination. And giggles are part of them! Mwahaha! But hold that train! World domination aside, we gotta talk about the clearly more important topic here! >.> Icy-cream to Highly efficient washing machine.... Yeah, we're talking about that. Sounds like story time! Imma go get some popcorn.....Also, I'm going to just plant a flag right here. Because I feel like I just hijacked this thread. Maybe I should just go start one. Hmm...
