Post subject: Spam campaign on the Forum  Posted: 19 Aug 2020, 09:51 |

The video and sound quality will get worse and worse towards the end until it will start skipping and stoping abruptly. This happens on every disc almost. I tried cleaning the discs. I tried cleaning the laser. Nothing helped.
(spam links removed, account deleted, keeping this one as an example).

They're all scheduled to be deleted if no more life sign. Feel free to flag new/suspicious ones. Julien

Both deleted. They do not edit messages later to add links but add a signature with links. I might have to disable URLs in signatures. Julien

All deleted. They seem to copy/paste r/LaserDisc posts for credibility. Julien

Turns out I can keep new accounts in the "Newly Registered Users" and assign specific constraints (no link, no signature, etc.) until you reach X number of posts. Let's set it to 3 as a test. Initially I had set up a specific "Spam" user group but these bots never come back again, I'll delete them as well: +------------------+

Maybe but I don't want to make it TOO hard to show good face. Let's try with the 3-post limit first. Julien
