Hey UAB Members

A couple of you have asked about the spammers we get from time to time, and how can we deal with them.

Our signup security protocols will deter bots from getting in, but we do get those occasional...umm...pains in the a$$ who will signup and post regardless. I try and get them banned from the site before they can post, but sometimes they do slip through, or could be legitimate. We never want to prevent real people from joining, and as a result, spammers can get in.

First and foremost, DO NOT click on any link they post. I'm sure that goes without saying, but I want to make sure, because we care about you all and we'd be heartbroken if your system caught a virus or something from one of these people.

I get on a few times a day to look for these people, as well as to see what's happening. Again, due to timing, they sometimes get through. If you see something, say something (a motto used here in MA). Please email me at daveypoo@uabmagic.com. I always have my cell on me and get my mail there. You can also email ltldeb at ltldeb@uabmagic.com but she'll just forward it to me anyway.

We do what we can, and we appreciate your concerns. When our schedules mesh up, tE, ltldeb and I will be talking about site changes, and one of them being the prevention of spam, as well as considering forum moderators.

AND just spitballing here...maybe if we all stop buying sneakers, they'll stop spamming us about them... Smile

Thanks. I personally think this is one of the better moderated and run sites on the web. Please continue doing a wonderful job.

Sometimes UAB is the only thing that gets me through a work day.
It and all the admin work is appreciated.

Thanks DaveyPoo, I had a feeling it was a spammer getting in. On the other hand, I have become quite the hit at parties with all my know sneaker knowledge.

I've earned the nickname "Sneaky" Bison ... though, that may be for other reasons ...
