Oh good, now they’re logging reviews on existing teas and not just making their own. (Just zapped two solaharts, one leaving reviews on Cocoa Amore).

Edit: make that three solaharts! They are busy this morning.

Jason select said

They were doing that before. But the moderator link shouldn’t have a problem taking care of that.

Dinosara said

Yup, got them! :)

The moderators and new spam features have done a great job so far, thanks for all the help!

Unfortunately, they’ve now taken to spamming us on Twitter :(

I don’t understand how that’s even productive.

Jason select said

Not sure. It could be someone trying to make searches for “Steepster” irrelevant, but most likely is just someone paying to get links to their profile which links to their site. But the profile is already removed, so it doesn’t nothing but be annoying…

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s some kind of vendetta against you. Insulted any solar panel salesmen lately?

In Jakarta?

Jason select said

I did insult a Jakartan solar panel salesman/shaman who placed a curse on me. But I didn’t think it was related.

LOL!

Really, I just laughed out loud when I saw this.

Most of the first and second page is spam again :(

The solahart jerks have returned.

Jason – too much? :D

Jason select said

?

I sent you a bunch of email yesterday, did you not get them?

Jason select said

Ah, still working through a bunch of emails. Don’t worry about sending too much though, I’ll get to it eventually :).

I was on a roll and worked through the first 500 pages of recently added teas. The one with the prostitute was my favourite.

I thought I wiped them from the face of Steepster about 5 hours before. Like cockroaches, if you don’t get ’em all they multiply.

There was some sort of movie advert earlier. Did you guys get it?

I don’t see it…can you link me? Maybe someone else already removed it…

Movie spam just went back up again, ugh!

I tried to kill it a few minutes after it went up but it hasn’t gone yet. :(

I like the idea of ‘killing’ spam. Must be one of the only times you can declare that your going to kill something and it’s a positive thing.

Jason select said

I’m not seeing any so I think it’s gone now.

Someone mentioned spamming going on earlier for a website called Psycho Zombies. Well someone added me earlier, she friended me and one other person…that just so happens to be advertising Psycho Zombies.

Bio is an actual bio involving tea and cats, not a whole bunch of polish words like normal so I’m not entirely sure it’s spam or just a weird site.

Jason select said

Yea, not sure about that one. Let’s leave for now and see if they try to do anything.

I think the moderators caught the “movie” spamming earlier and extinguished it pretty quick.

Jason select said

Yea, haven’t seen it since the report. Great job moderators!

Angrboda said

I marked one about half an hour ago. It just disappeared for me now.

mrmopar said

Glad to know it is working and the “good people” on here are keeping it that way!

I haunt the explore tab for your pleasure.

Uniquity said

Love the explore tab. SO much fun!
