How come so much lately ?
Every morning, and now evening too.

**metalshapes** · 06-12-2012, 08:35 PM

I dont know.

But we are zapping it as soon as we see it...

**31Vicky with a hemi** · 06-12-2012, 08:41 PM

You guys do a great job at it.
Target practice I guess but its got to keep ya busy.

Strange its so frequently and the same crap

**metalshapes** · 06-12-2012, 08:54 PM

Honestly, I dont understand the reasoning behind it.

Why would they think we are their target audience?

And besides that, I've never bought anything based on the info I got in a ad or from spam.

But there are things I will not buy, because their ads or spam irritate me...

I think the spammer gets money if someone clicks on the link and doesn't care who he annoys.
Thanks for the work you guys do keeping the HAMB on track.

If that's the case, the traffic rate here would be enough to attract the vermin.

**Ryan** · 06-12-2012, 09:23 PM

Fucking nightmare...

HOTFR8 · 06-12-2012, 10:58 PM

A nightmare on the GJ Forum as well.

Kinda OT but is there a way to report these on the iPhone app?

go-twichy · 06-15-2012, 04:32 AM

i've got the 12:00am till 4:00am slot. if i see them, they're as good as gone. what would help is a shorter time between reports. lately they've come in groups of four and it takes about 3 mins. to get them all.but i won't sleep till i've got em'.so bring it on! or just stop it please.

Yup , I agree . If there was a quicker way to report a bunch it would be great .
I'm down here in lil ol NZ and it seems there are a lot popping up in our evening time Slot ( 8pm through to 11pm our time ) . This makes me wonder if some of these cretins are in a similar time zone?

Ryan , do you need a moderator in NZ ?? C'mon let me at em !

The spamming has been a bit crazy lately, especially early in the morning..

**31Vicky with a hemi** · 08-14-2012, 11:16 AM
