Roleplayer Guild - Roleplay Forum

Hey there RpG,

Recently, we've been having visitors from a website called "********** Anonymous" spam messages advertising their website. These are continuations of a spamming incident on the board in the distant past and at this point, we are constituting the continued covert advertisements as a form of attack. Of course, as you all know, we do not ask that you do not share your favorite places to go other than RpG with other users; we ask that advertising be kept away from RpG. What these ********** "visitors" are doing is blatant spamming of the same advertisement in the continuation of a tantrum thrown in previous months. That just won't fly. The message typically reads thus:

These messages have been going out over visitor messages, rather than on the boards, which makes tracking them difficult (as there is no "View all visitor messages sent by..." button like the "view all posts made by..." link).

If you receive one of these message please PM a mod or admin so we can deal with the person spamming it. Help us keep this place clean! Thanks.

Best to you all, happy roleplaying.

Hahah, stupid spammers xD

What I dont get is why they dont just put the link in their signature and just post around on the forums? If people are interested in the site, then they would click the link in their signature, not have to put up with being spammed.

Members came here to roleplay and chat, and here they are, not to be spammed to another site.

Ah well, silly little spammers. They'll be dealt with eventually then?

They wouldn't do it if it weren't successful. It is rather hard to advertise a new forum by other means. Especially if you're not willing to put some money aside for it.

So I wouldn't call them stupid, silly and little. Annoying; yes. Unwanted; definitely. But these campaigns can be successful, to some extent at least.

I'll check some other peoples pages and see if there are any more but-
PrismaticRainbow was the spammer that did it to us three.

Glad I could help.

WARNING!!! These messages appeared once more, and it was right before the Spamming Incident. RPGirl, the one who spammed these PMs, proceeded in spamming the whole board once she got banned under different accounts. The older mods should remember the incident. So.... that's really what I wanted to say. There is a whole thread about the incident and how it happened, I'm sure an older mod remembers it.
