Can't we shake the Asian Escorts?

PG Music Home

<rant>
Not a week goes by without the forum being flooded with Asian Escort posts.

Isn't there any way to block these?

Matt

What type of escorts would you prefer?

We'll see what we can do.

Marc

Registration requiring a captcha is what it takes.

I sure hope NOT for every post, but that happens some places.

Shake all you want, they'll make more! lol

Lol.

Well I'm not Mat, but I'd like free ones if you don't mind. Lol.

Tim

Be wary.

Nothing is really free.

Oh lord a captcha, I hope not.
My wife would have to quit her job just to stay home and enter that dam thing in every time I wanted to read a message. Lol.

Talk about a rant, I hate captchas.
I'll take escorts over them any day of the week. Lol.

Tim

You are registered now, and don't need one. Usually.

The point is any 'bot' can register as a user, then make posts.

It's a program written specifically for this type of board, and the objective is to create so many links that they look legit, and get bumped in the search engines. That's the theory. Then there are click through sites they want traffic so they get paid.

It's a question of the Powered by UBB.threads™ 6.5.5. keeping ahead of this type of thing by making subtle changes that thwart that stuff.

HOWEVER, we all have probably seen places where every time you have to do the captcha.

I don't really have a problem with captchas for registration, I definitely see where that's needed these days.
I either use a special service that was set up for the blind to handle that or wait and have my wife help me register.
Some sites like Yahoo and Google provide an audio captcha, but some times it's hard to hear what the numbers or letters are.
I for sure wouldn't wanna have to enter a captcha every time I wanted to log on to a site though.
That just wouldn't work for me.

Now lets get back to talking about the escorts. LOL.

Or in this case.
Free is really nothing.

Yes, all good thoughts. I'm always notifying the moderator when the escorts are back. I would happily recommend one captcha for the initial registration.

Don't know for sure but I think if you shake them you not only have to pay more but could be brought up on abuse charges . . . I'll just stick to the tambourine Matt.

Later,

Well, we made it ten days, but they are back again flooding the forums.

We love you long time.

What?

Hey. Could be Russian brides.

I've got a brother-in-law who's 50 and never been out on a date.
Now this just might work for him. LOL.

that's a great idea, Matt

There may also be a way to block offending IP addresses

They hit my email this morning!

How about using them for song ideas!!!

Asian Escorts, stay away from me-ee (American Woman)

Shag,shag,shag...shag,shag,shag,...shag your Escort... Asian Escort. (Shake Your Booty)

I'm not seeing these messages you guys are talking about?
On this forum?

Moderator removed them before you got here...

Tim, yes, during the early morning hours, there was a post about Asian Escorts as the last post in almost EVERY forum here. It happens a lot. When I or others notify the Moderator (there's an icon to do that), they all get pulled. Still, it must be annoying for PG Music.

I hate these miscreant cockroaches - I just reported one moderators missed in the PT forum.

If Y'all would quit surfin' those type sites they might not find us here!

Somehow, someway, Something tells me this is Rharv's fault!

I knew someone would figure it out.

Will someone please Escort him from the Forum.
Wait, I think I know where to find someone.

I seldom post in the Off-Topic forum, and I'm horrified to think this thread I started is becoming popular. Mostly, though, I feel badly for Bob (Rharv) since he has to read every thread, lest he get blamed for something.

Seriously, though, can't we do a Captcha for initial registration? That would stop the Asian Escorts posts. If they use the same IP address, they get banned. If they try the hit-and-run that I think this is, they get stopped cold.

Wouldn't do any good as Captcha is the name of the guy running the Escort Service, or so I'm told

Now THERE'S a working title, for song, book or movie:

"A P i m p Named Captcha..."

Okay, mebbe not.

Those spambots usually spoof the IP address so you end up blocking an IP address that didn't actually make the post. The IP address ban works better on trolls who usually don't spoof their IP address.

even a captcha wouldn't keep a real human from signing up repeatedly and posting the same ad to every thread.

Maybe the best approach would be to require a brief questionnaire submitted to the moderator for approval.

example:

"which of the following sentences makes most sense to you:

1) "to love is of dramatic enjoy"

2) "it is good in your life if happy"

3) "through a wheel sometimes make spiral"

If they pick ANY of the above, they could safely be denied membership. A real one of us would send an email to the moderator asking what's up with the stupid questions

and if they catch on and ask the moderator "question of the moment unable to be known"
... 'nuff said. DENIED!!

Actually, Pat, I quite liked number (2).

ROG.

Stop making fun of #3; it's my life's guiding philosophy. That, and "Why is a mouse when it spins?".

You guys are crackling up myself.

I was formery etucated at you see are a!

This is all getting very captcha-esque. He died young, you know. Captcha

I think we all owe a vote of thanks to Matt for an extremely entertaining thread.

And , of course, to the Asian Escorts who made it all possible. Long may they invade our privacy. Not that I have any financial interest, you understand.

ROG.

what confuses me about this...
weren't ESCORTs made by Ford? American product?

Why doesn't it say ASIAN ELANTRAs or ASIAN ACCORDs ??

Sometimes life just doesn't make sense to me.

Guys,

I have to confess that something deep down insides of me still wants to shake one. And while I would like to blame this on rharv it was Matt who planted the idea in my head.

Later,

Order Asian Escorts famry styre and you get sickum fly lice, egg row, ginger beast, foe fortune-hunter cookies and your Asian Escorts will wok your dog.

Matthew, now look at what you started.

I think I'm taking a vacation for a few days.

Matthew, when life hands you a bunch of Asian Escorts, make some Asian Escort Ade.

You can quote me on that!

You are supply I spik your ranguage? I was educate at you see are a.

Well, it was about three weeks this time before they hit this morning.

Calgary Asian Escorts Stampede you long time!

"It is the freshness of the deep springs of life."

Matthew, just don't let 'em wok your dog!!!

Love you long time, Don.

You know, it would really look bad on Matt if ads for BRAZILIAN Escorts started appearing... For once, RHARV wouldn't get blamed.

Good point. I'm taking another vacation now.

Just tell them to go over to Rubmaps and place their ad there instead LOL.

How 'bout that, registered and made their first post by replying to a bunch of six year old posts.

What next, resurrection of Don Gaynor's long running joke post?

Have you shaken an Asian escort yet today?

Apparently not, Don. PG Music successfully defends against this stuff now (congratulations!).

For anyone who joined the forum in the last few years, my post was about the problem that, on occasion, the forums would be totally filled with spam until the PG staff cleaned it up. The Asian Escorts spam was just one such repeated annoyance that would render the forums temporarily unusable.

Talk about a Zombie thread...

That's ok though, I did that once years ago. Easy to do a Google search and not notice the date.

Bob

you know you're getting old when....

... you're surprised to realize that a "recent" thread is actually 6 years old.

Not until I saw Mac's comment did I realize that it was an old topic. Chortle.

Pardon me if this was said already Matt. But to answer your question regarding shaking the Asian Escorts . . . I think you can but you have to pay extra for that. Hope this helps my friend.

Later,
