I highly doubt the idiot who's spamming the forum with that copy/paste was the same one who originally posted that thread. I'm getting the idea that it's most likely some really dumb indian or arab.Quote:

More likely it's a spambot.
Bots are controlled by someone. I'm sure he isn't manually typing anything.Quote:

you might be right , looking for love in all the wrong places
Wow, I gues it's harder to be the new guy than i thougt it was. I can assure you that I definitely am not the spammer. For what it's worth i have submitted a problem ticket to Trion to report this "player" and the spamming issue. I would suggest you do the same. If enough people complain maybe trion will fix the issue or change the way that people are allowed to post. My suggestion would be to eliminate the "open" membership to the forums and require members to have a linked account for the purpose of banning them.Quote:

Thanks for the welcome, but as far as the other thing, with all the rampant paranoia and rumors of accounts hacked and inventory stolen, the acusation alone is enough to taint your rep. Honestly, how do you prove a negative and why would you take a chance? Afterall I am just one guy and not even in your clan. Hell, the paranoia even gets to me and I just started a few months ago. Reason why i solo most of the time.Quote:

At least we know that most likely means the spammer does also have a legit forum account, or atleast read threads. So they need to find him, and ip block him from both the game and the forum.
And for the record, even though I did point out that your thread was being used, I didn't report you or your thread, so I didn't let paranoia best me.

Yep, i sent a message to PT awhile ago askin if we could ban the guy doin it (name was mk____50 @ the time). But its hard to get em to stop as its either a bot most of the time, or theyll just create a new name and account if one gets banned. Its been very annoying though. Every night the first 2 pages are all spam gibberish
#1 You're quite welcome. You never said what platform and server you're on. If you don't want to say here, I understand. I'm PS3, if you are too, click my name and look at my profile for what times I normally play. I'll run with you if you want to sometime.Quote:

#3 Clanmate or not, I believe that everyone deserves a chance. Even the ranters (hey, they could be having a bad day). I saw your original post as a new guy offering his observations, frustrations, and strategies while looking for a possible better strategy as a way of introducing themselves. That makes you OK in my book. It's unfortunate that your post was co-opted for nefarious purposes (not you Nefarious :) ). Others will see that too.
#4 Absolutely no reason to feel paranoid in Defiance... except during the Volge Solstice Strikes. And I solo a lot also. Again, if you are PS3, my offer in #1 still stands. :) Just PM me.
Oh, yeah. For all your Defiance needs: http://www.defiancedata.com/
Well The spam is starting again.
Unfortunately, you're going to have clowns on the game looking for lovers, who are more often than not guys playing as female toons.
In regards to the constant spamming, I guess I'll go volge hunting with a VOT surge bolter and a VOT grind fragger. Noobish weapons, I know, but they're serving me well.

Though it wasn't near this severe, they did eventually get a good hold of it and you rarely see them anymore.Quote:

Maybe they could just add a block poster to the forums, so that we could not have to see this **** every ****ing day ?
IP banning is the way to go but even that has it work arounds.Quote:
