IMPORTANT: Instructions Regarding Spam

First and foremost, I want you to know that we are actively working on the removal of the woodworkqgyl account. (The account has been locked.) Unfortunately, due to the volume of this one, I need ops to assist in the removal of this account from the database. This issue has already been escalated.

That being said, I have a huge favor to ask of you. Starting multiple threads in the community about spam simply does not help. Replying to the spammer posts (no matter how much ya wanna yell at them) just makes my job that much harder. Flagging every single post a spammer made only serves to blow up my inbox. You only need to report ONE of the spammer's posts. As always, for urgent issues, message me.

Please take the time to review this post regarding spam.

+1 Getting application errors trying to access pulse page.
Plus my pulse page is showing only new posts, not my watch list as I normally keep it.

This also prevents being able to see spammer getting started and report it. But Cricket seems to be top of the idiot for right now. :)

The pulse page will likely be useless as I remove posts. We will get it back to normal though. Hang in there with me.

Cricket,
You have one BUSY BUSY person!

If you could temporarily suspend (ignore) ANY activity with accounts starting with "woodwork", it would sure lighten the load wouldn't it? (or something)... and with a starting date within the last week.

Keep up the good work… wish I could help you!

Unfortunately, the platform doesn't work that way. Ops has been notified. We will be hopefully turning off reigtsration until this issue is resolved.

If Ops wanted to, I'm sure it would NOT be very hard to do… Temporarily…

If anyone ( Joe Lyddon) is getting a mailbox deluge by this spammer's posts, please note:
Might want to turn off email notifications for updates to your watched posts until admin has this resolved.
Can turn it back on when this stops.
YMMV
