What's with all the TEMU SPAM Posts.

[Republicoftexas69]

Hey gang think we need to update the security in this forum.
Tons of SPAM posts for TEMU.
Very annoying.

 

[WBF Team]

We are deleting them and banning users as they pop up. In the last hour, 3 new users and 10 posts popped up. They are now all deleted and the users and their IP addresses are permanently banned.

 

[WBF Team]

Make that 8 users banned since early this morning and 20+ posts deleted...

Thanks to a great team of moderators

 

[WBF Team]

All: With those that Steve also caught this morning, we have 15 accounts that have had to be banned this morning.

Good morning members

It looks like the TEMU spammers have once again found us. I just deleted 4 of their Spam TEMU coupons . The last time they were here was over Christmas and New Year and we slowly put the fire out until they disappeared . Should you see these posts click the report button under the posts for the admin team to immediately remove the posts and ban these lunatics

The site is VERY slow right now..almost no responsive...

 

[treitz3]

Already reported. Thanks for letting us know though (in case we were not paying attention).

8 to 10 seconds today, within the past 2 hours here. Meanwhile, all other sites are smokin' hot at less than 1s.

There was also a period this morning to where no posts were made, during an hour (plus) period.....where normally, 10 or more posts are made.

FWIW.

Feels like a DoS attack.

I had the same problem a few hours ago but as Tom says it is smokin fast now

 

[Steve williams]

what we are finding is that heavy traffic slows the server down and we need to restart the server. I asked Julian to restart the server and to do this on a once weekly regular practice

right now we have just under 3000 members and guests on the sight and this often we have found will slow us down

Thank you sir. Your efforts in keeping this forum running like a smooth, greased wheel are appreciated by more than you know. Kudos to you! Thank you.

We are restarting the server. There might be a 5 minute interruption in service. I noticed things loaded slowly for me early this morning

 

[Steve williams]

server has been restarted and now the site loads super fast for me .....is anyone having issues now with the site loading slowly?
