I have seen over 100 ... Looks like the admins are enjoying the weekend so the spammer took advantage of it.

He's banned now. And it looks like the mods cleaned it up.

They can't do anything about it. XenForo is vulnerable to spam, unlike VBulletin.

I report this stuff all the time I see.

Admins and mods have lives outside of this website just like the rest of us.

Should be easy enough to filter out posts that contain a likely phone number for manual approval.

The problem with that is the spammer will just adjust the message to something outside the regex, making it a constant cat-and-mouse game.

A real fix would mean blocking the bot accounts in the first place, which I'm sure is on the list for the upcoming forum update.

 

[Pro-Hustler]

Relevant mods will clear those crap shits

wait... for real?

 

[paulagabin]

happens everyday, mods clean it and ban users as soon as they can (they're human too and need to live life--or sleep. lol).

It should be in your contracts that you don't get any sleep!

Ps. The spammer is back again! Don't know why he doesn't just exclude this site because it does him no good at all

The moderators and admins need to look over this issue. Nobody likes spamming or anything like this. The best thing i like about this forum is that there are so many categories to choose from. What do you think guys? Can this forum become one of the biggest in the world?
