 Posted: Fri Jun 16, 2006 12:18 am Post subject: Spam post from Split Camera |
 |
|
I was reviewing what appeared to be a spam post on a message board that I coordinate and would normally have deleted the post. Much to my surprise, it was from or at least, about split camera. I saved the post, moved it to an appropriate section and added some discussion so that it was relevant to our readers.
My point is that Split Camera is a great product and can easily be discussed in a Business discussion forum. Someone needs to study up on how to work message boards - no harm done, just if you are going to bother to post, might as well do it in a way that does not look like spam and will benefit the community.

Hello Denver Dave
We at SplitCamera.com never send spam. I can suggest though who could act under our name. Not long while ago some guys from Russia contacted us asking for SplitCam software source code. We said the source code is not for sharing and if they want they can download our software binaries which are freely distributed. The guys started to threaten us promising they will make SplitCam unpopular by, among other things, spamming people.
Unfortunately there seems to be nothing we can do to stop them. We don't have resources for fighting aggressively acting people.
Currently we are working on a new SplitCam version which is gonna have a lot of new features and capabilities.
All our efforts are aimed at that and we just have no time for distraction.

I got a similar post on the 17th in my company forum, which is why I am here now. The email address the poster used when they signed up is splitcamera@yandex.ru and the post was pure spam for splitcamera.
I was about to fire off an e-mail to your company but then decided to check this forum to see if there was anything said about it. Sorry that you have to deal with this, I've been there. |

I'm not sure of the question. .ru email addresses are from Russia (in theory). I've philosophically opposed to blocking by a national profile, but I have noticed that over half the spam on my message boards post with an email with an .ru extension. Also, I'm sure that if we all block that an emails with other extensions will just be used.
By the way I really like the image verification on each post used by this message board - wish phpBB had that. |

I've noticed that as well. In the last couple of weeks my support forum has been overrun by spammers, the large majority of them using .ru addresses. I think I'll try turning off the ability to register with a .ru address. Some of the spammers may use other tlds but the majority of them are lazy and I assume will just move on to the next available site. |
