Spammed

Cat|4704d ago |Blog Post|17|

Bad news: Spam has been on a serious uptick around here lately.

So the team tweaked some settings and the filter.

Good news: Spam is way down.

More bad news: Some non-spamming, definitely member types are getting clocked by the spam fighting SiteBot.

It's by no means an epidemic, but it's happened so I want to get this message out there to the good, non-spamming folks of N4G. :)

Good news

GreenRanger4704d ago

If that SiteBot attacks me; I'm reachin' for my flute...

Donnieboi4704d ago (Edited 4704d ago )

Lol what??

Edit:

@DedicatedToGamers and GreenRanger:

Thanks I get it now :D

SilentNegotiator4704d ago

The fact that non-spammers are being hit already worries me more than the spam itself.

Blacktric4704d ago

Great news. It's good to know that the admins and mods actively fighting against this crap.

HammadTheBeast4704d ago (Edited 4704d ago )

Spam is actually a good sign, it takes a good site to get spammed, it means you're doing something right.

Glass half full and all that.

ravinash4704d ago (Edited 4704d ago )

Sorry, crap sites do get spammed to.
their not that picky.

zeal0us4704d ago (Edited 4704d ago )

I mention the word Google and the site thinks I'm trying to submit spam. I glad its fixed now.

The person behind the spambots will just modify their comments so that the system doesn't detect them. I already seen it happen on other sites. For instance they might use symbols instead of letters, space out the website name or instead saying .com they might say dotcom.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing61d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit61d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing61d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9261d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
