Will someone tell me why they would want their socks blown off? [Porn link removed] It will knock your socks off! Clearly, a dangerous website to visit! |

Seriously though Holly, I'd be ready to believe someone on the SETI boards sent that one Cue paranoia |

Seriously though Holly, It apparently was someone on a legitimate seti related site who sent that out to members who use it's forums. I took a look and at least one other person complained and the owner of the site is doing what he can. |

It's an individual that has been reported to their ISP about a week ago, when he started targeting SMF sites. Seems he's going through an alphabetic list and spamming everyone with the same message. It ain't a bot because he/it intelligently surpasses any restriction you may put into place that normally foils bots. There is no way to guard against a determined attack by an acehole... I could possibly prohibit all members from sending personal messages, that would be overly restrictive and counter-productive though. Also, I could make registration tougher, but since it's not a bot, that will not stop it (captcha? blows right through). All I can say is sorry for your inconvenience...It could happen here, only there would just be forum messages since S@H doesn't do personal messages. Obviously, this message was sent via the web site, no spoofed headers, just an acehole with a mission. Regards, Simon. Donate to SETI@Home via PayPal! Optimized SETI@Home apps + Information |

I thought Diego's joke was pretty funny, really. I was not amused. And I have images shown as links. :-/ "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

Fuzzy, Diego didn't send you that junk; some jerk did. Diego just made a joke about you making this thread, not a joke about you actually getting that in your email. |
