--- Quote from: umberto on May 27, 2018, 03:39:58 AM ---I think the worst of the SPAM attack has passed.  For a couple of weeks there we were seeing 2-3 bogus accounts set up every day.  Once again though, please don't click on any strange or first time posters links.  I don't want anyone getting a virus or malware from one of these toolbags.  And if you see any nudity, I apologize if it offends anyone.  If it doesn't offend you, enjoy it while you can.   :-D

Looks like I spoke too soon.  I've deleted or banned about seven new accounts in the last hour.  As always, please report anything you see that looks fishy.

There was another SPAM posting on the site today with a link to follow. The guy posted a couple of times to try to look legitimate. Fortunately it was about football/soccer, and really stood out. If you see someone post a link in the first few posts, and their posts aren’t even remotely about dirt bikes, please report them to a moderator immediately.  And whatever you do, don’t click on their links. It’s most likely a virus or malware.

Got it. I just thought the geezer had posted on the wrong site - don't remember any links. But if it happens again I'll report it. Btw, where do I report it?
I had my computer hacked 6 months ago. Lost everything. I had all my previous computers on the one computer. Thought I'd lost 3 years work on my book as well. Luckily, although I lost one helluva lot I found I had a copy in cyberspace. Otherwise I think I would've given up on it. It wasn't a total of three years' work, but stuff I had written over a period of 3 years. I'll be extra cautious in future. Thanks.

There is a report to moderator link in every comment made on a post (just look down and to the right of this comment and you will see it).  Click on that comment you want to report, and make sure and put why you are reporting it before you send it.  You'll have to hustle though.  Foxx4Beaver is pretty fast to report the spammers (thank you sir).

It's just out of sheer luck that I catch em so often...since I'm hardly ever on here.
