ANN: Beware of 'yupiyei', and 'DizzDizzy', and "Agulere' #2

Jun 20, 2008 12:25 PM

These people have posted HUNDREDS of posts to these forums over the last
several days (none of them having been seen here before). Their posts
contain
links to sites that have nothing to do with DW or with web development.
This is what is known as "SPAMMING THE FORUM". Please ignore their posts.
They do NOT represent anyone trying to help you solve your problems.

    Yes, and you're only adding to the noise. Please just let it go. Let Adobe
    handle it now.

    Adobe can't handle it.

    morons.

    How many? 15? 20?

    DizzDizzy has posted 320 so far today. My goal now is to keep new visitors
    aware so that they don't read or even reply to their nonsense.

    I made a spam report, and received a response http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5679f/101

    I don't know what is possible, but one may hope that the forum software may be set to block messages

    They COULD. I doubt they will, though.

    no, i believe he's trying to let people who may be new or infrequent
    posters know that these people aren't actually here to help, so they
    don't waste their time responding to them. i've already seen a thread
    where someone went back and forth with one of these spammers thinking
    they were trying to help them. that person's time was wasted, and they
    probably left in disgust because they didn't get any real help.

    I can't believe they haven't responded to the two threads about them. Maybe these spam bots are smarter than the average spam bots. They don't post in topics about themselves.

    No, it's not Usenet.
    forums.macromedia.com is a 'private server' that is configured to allow
    posts to go to Usenet, so they can be archived by Google, but prevents
    posts made via Usenet appearing on the Macromedia server.

    Good. At least they are aware of the problem. Thanks.

    I don't know how long you've been using these forums, but we've had troll
    problems on and off for years, and neither Macromedia nor Adobe has ever
    done anything about it. I don't know if it's technically not possible, or
    just not important enough to bother with, but the result is the same.

    Arguing with Murray, who has been serving on these forums a long, long time
    and is pretty well connected at Adobe, is what I'd call 'noise'.
