Sean009 the Spammer, has just been deleted...
He was amusing for a little while, but Alan detected him right away when he posted his very first messages.
It takes quite a bit of effort to keep the spammers and viruses and trojans and worms out of these forums. I've had to install quite a number of invisible barriers, protective shields and restrictions over the last months and years, but hopefully nothing that inconveniences our regular members?
Many other forums are drowning and dying under the flood of commercial and even porn spam, as often MOST of their messages are spam by now. But since installing an additional question in the member registration - which only a real person with a real interest in Lamma (not a registration robot program) can answer - the spammers have been kept to a minimum and limited to clever, determined, low-key human spammers, like Sean009.
Well, he's gone now and all new member registrations will continue to be hand-checked and -approved by myself. Our moderators will focus their sharp eyes on potential spam messages of any kind as well. Spammers will be deleted without notice.
Selling, renting and promoting anything on Lamma or suitable for Lammaites by regular, private members will continue to be acceptable and even encouraged in this non-commercial forum. Private members only, not businesses like property agents, please. Respectable businesses (no tobacco, for example) are most welcome to advertise on the Lamma-zine pages.
All Lamma-zine pages are hosted on the separate server of Compunicate.com, marking a clear, physical distinction from the non-commercial forum on
www.lamma.com.hk. Compunicate.com will continue to subsidise, manage and support the Lamma.com.hk forums, with all the great work of the forum moderators, plus one handful of HK$480/year anonymous personal forum sponsors who started donating recently. The future of this forum looks fine, safe and secure for now!
