blonde poker forum

It seems, as Ironside & others reported elsewhere, we suffered a serious spam/porn attack overnight.

We apologise to any who were offended by the content.

I have been much against tightening up the registration rules for the blonde Forum, to the annoyance of my fellow Mods. Looks like I may soon have to yield on this.

Again, we apologize.

One of those things that happen on tinternet Tony - I didn't open the links as it was clearly spam.

Apology not really needed but it's nice to see and thanx.

Difficult to see how tightening up on registration could work - If the system used is automated it can be got around - If not it will create a lot of work.

You could regulate the PM system say by allowing people to choose only to receive PMs from selected people (moderators and 'buddys' for instance), but I can see the downside to this.

Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen too often.

Thanks, & yes - if folks want to circumvent the system to spam, they will, & no amount of form-filling will stop them, all it will achieve is to make it harder to join blonde, & I don't want to do that.

But I am very embarrasssed, & feel responsible, for what happened last night.

I felt special for a minute.  3 PMs in a day!  I never get 3 unless it's Tighty telling me off.

so thats every other day then

LOL!

...back under my rock.

this is no-ones fault. i opened my messages and couldnt believe what i saw. surely it wasnt real????????

thanks for aplology blonde

lol

well was it? ive led a sheltered life and have never came across anything that resembles that 'thing'

Be much nicer if your innocence remains intact  ;)

haha - me too! but now I feel less special because I only got 2 :(

Tikay,

Just woke up to one of these spams but it's so obvious that it's junk that no sane person would open the links. Can't you just block the sender from the forum?

By the way, how did you do in the tourney last night??

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL  I bet he never got laughed at in the showers !!

By the way, do you know what a bloke with one that size has for breakfast ??





















I had sausage, mushrooms,egg bacon and toast ;)

size is all relative though Kev... :D

The "sender" has been banned.

The Laddies Tourney? I seem to think a misunderstanding arose. I never won a sausage yesterday. Won nearly $3k on Friday, lost a goodly lump of it yesterday. Whatever I did, I did wrong, & I lost every race - just one of those days. Friday was the opposite, I was super-lucky all day. If only we knew in advance what the day would be like!

Ok, good news about the sender, not so good about the poker!! I think Blonde forums should be banned whilst I'm in a Laddies tourney......the coverage of the Dublin EPT was so good that I couldn't concentrate on the $50, $7500 guaranteed last night and played like a complete muppet!!!!

Same here!

lol mines not been that sheltered but still never come across anythng like that
def unreal

No need to say sorry, the only person that should say that is the person who sent them. 

Wow that was humungous...

Forgive me, but we do not want to know that you have "Never come across anything like that." But rather, "Has anything like that ever come across you?"

 ;scarymoment;

At least i know now, I'm not the only one  :)up

I guess I'm just glad that I no longer have time to check the forums whilst I'm at work!  :D

Anyway, no worries tikay.

Cheers.

Just seen I have these PM's as well, I also saw that the latest new member has an interesting name. ;whistle;

PS Red-Dog  ;yellowcard; :)up

last time i see a **** that big there was a whole group of em......... the scots playing footie at bb2 a right bunch ****s  rotflmfao

I used to work in the vice squad - believe me boys its not real - thank goodness! :D

Tikay,

Can you limit the max no of recipients? At least if they want to spam we're gonna give them a headache that way.

I was thinking 5 (say) for newbies and then it increases as you rise through the ranks (full member, senior member etc.).

Wow, thats a good idea.......I'll have a chat with the techies, that makes a lot of sense.

If it's a spambot then it won't make a lot of difference, it's all automated. Although you could make changes that times how long it takes to send a PM and disallow those that are too quick  (talking about fractions of a second).

It would also mean people with more posts have more privileges which is a bit elitist.

True, but reasonable i think (i mean newbies would understand).

Does anyone ever send messages to more than one or two people anyway.
