[RESOLVED] Replied to a threat and then it's gone?

**opus** · Apr 27th, 2007, 04:43 AM

Hi, I just replied to a threat, another member replied also, but looking again at it, the threat was gone and thratstarter (quangtrungvtv) was down to 0 posts?
PostID was 465723

The thread was spam and has been deleted.

Thanks, I was just starting to have a look into it.

How do you detect spam?
This one ask for help amnd gave a *.rar file, which I couldn't open.
then he/she did attach a *.zip, while I was looking into it (lots of forms and only a minimal garbish sub holding code), one of the admins reacted on the spam.

Continue to blame people on answering on such spam, and next time nobody will answer anything!

Jeez opus, take it easy! It was just a joke Shaggy made...

**opus** · Apr 29th, 2007, 12:51 PM

btw this quangtrungvtv is up again, posting his *.rar with weird questions, in different forums7threats/he's even hijacking threadas, and nobody seems to be able to understand him.

Yes, we are aware of the issue and have been working on it. Seems a language issue is at hand and being a new member isnt easy too.

I was just making a joke, but it was good of you to go to such efforts to assist someone. Like several others here, I am reluctant to download files, and prefer to see code pasted out in the open for all to see.

Usually, spam on this forum is very evident, it sounds like this was relatively well disguised.

Would any "Spammer" go through that much work, asking in severall threads, replying severall times? Maybe this guy really has just a language problem like RobDog888 said.
The downloaded files however do show next to nothing.
The guess he/she is a beginner in both VB and English! That will be hard work

Strange.

When I search for quangtrungvtv in advanced search, as the user name entry,

the returned threads includes:

http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=465614

and yet he doesn't appear anywhere there.

**penagate** · May 3rd, 2007, 02:41 PM

When posts are deleted, they aren't removed from the search index.

I think we should let this one rest now...
