Dear old Slax users,
The Slax forum is being massively attacked by SPAMMERS. I cannot keep up! We need an army of slax users to mark the first 50+ posts or more as SPAM except for one or two threads. Or we need to kindly ask Tomas to bring his site down(at least temporarily). I apologize for asking for help here on Porteus site, but Porteus started off as Slax-Remix and it has a special place for many of us. If you can bring some attention to this and help please do so. Thanks for all that you do!
EDIT:
hotdoctorr, burebista are the usernames that have posted thousands/millions? don't know how many posts they have created. They make the occasional spammers be like good people, these guys have massively attacked slax forum. I hope administrators are on the lookout for them so they won't post that kind of crap here!
I can't keep up deleting the SPAM there I hate to give up, but I am no SUPER User and wish i could just delete all the posts from them.
EDIT2:
Sorry about the alarming message. Tomas M has fixed the SPAM. It was going in at a very high rate
Might have been robots? Keep a watchful eye on this situation. One never knows, even with high guard and good solid programs to prevent this, the bad guys on the other side can come through Hopefully they don't and we don't worry about this!
Old Slax users please help!

Let us know if the problem persists. If Tomas is ok with it i can work with him to knock it on the head.
How do i become super user?

Sure! The problem seems to be taken care of for the meantime. Thanks for your response. I was getting desperate and losing hope. The rate of spam being posted was overwhelming. I sent an email to Tomas M to ask him to shutdown the forum temporarily at least He deleted more than 50 pages of pure SPAM. I still hope that those bad guys(Spammers) don't come here and do their thing.brokenman wrote:Let us know if the problem persists. If Tomas is ok with it i can work with him to knock it on the head.
