    Has your forum's link ever been spammed on other sites?

    Recently AdminBB's link was spammed across drug websites which caused about 35-40 spam registrations, and I was able to sort it out.

    The person who did it, had the intention to ruin AdminBB's reputation and mine, and I think I know who is behind it (Most likely a fellow competitor who was banned for spamming on AdminBB ;)). I will not directly link to the posts but here is some of the posts made with spamming AdminBB's links.

    One of the threads he posted:

    A reply he posted to another thread:

    Notice how the location under the fake Kaiser name says UK, the website automatically adds your location because of your IP when you post as a guest, I live in the US, and the person I think that is behind it lives in UK.

    To the person who did this, if you do happen to read this I have a good idea on who you are, you cant stop this now from getting into something very big. This is just a friendly warning ;)

    I don't see why people have to stoop so low and to do such things, and I don't think it's ever happened to me but you should not stoop to their level and do the same to their site because that only makes you as bad as they are!

    Yea you are right, its so frustrating.. and the biggest part is I can do nothing about it. I found another post with adminbb's link on it. There is no point in reporting them as nothing is ever done.

    Well that's a shame, all we can do is just keep fighting back, and reporting them. They will get bored soon enough. Again it's the same principle for trolls/spammers: DON'T feed the them, and give them the satisfaction they want!

    LMFAO, I literally laughed once seeing "No one selling drugs fgs"

    on topic - I know who might be trying to ruin the reputation that Kaiser built from his bare hands; overall thinking that it might be an old member of staff on AdminBB that either got fired or just hated the way it ran.

    Nope, not an ex-staff member. The person I thought it is, is the person making those posts. I have proof now, just dont know what to do with it.

    The dude has just committed a crime; of fraud you could threaten whoever is doing that firstly contact the administration team and tell them the situation that is going on, they will obviously understand and will take your side, they can most probably give the IP and compare using Admin Panel
