The recent spamming.

[Cam]

Hello,

We have been as you will possibly know we have been spammed by quite a few people. They have signed up and spammed and then went and spammed as guests. We have been deleting some of the posts but haven't managed to do them all, so if you see any posts made advertising n-designs please report to moderator them and we will get them deleted as soon as possible.

We understand you may be thinking it is a staff member at n-designs but at the moment we can't be sure. We have got some unusual spammers here who have done some interesting things but rest assure we will not be allowing it again, and I will be closely watching cC in-case the spammers come back.

cC is a safe forum and none of your information etc was taken from this incase you were thinking we got hacked too. cC will run as usual but we have put the Pending Account setting on for the time being while we go through and investigate what and who has done this. We will be working with the owner of n-designs to sort this matter.

Thanks for understanding, and the cC staff will be working hard to get this forum back to normal.

I thought this was a spam attack and not identity theft

That's a whole load of rubbish what they were saying and about me and Russell.

[ooop]

Yes it was, and don't say 'they' N-Designs did not spam the forum, a member did, we didn't encourage it.

[Mark Knight Day]

This has put n-Designs in a bad light ;D

I think they set this up, either they did it or they got people to do it. It's funny how no one elses forum gets spammed up but cC who is n-Designs biggest competition has spammed cC with advertisements. If you n-Design folks are that jealous, get a life and stop spamming our forum. All the dots point to n-Designs and they should have to pay >.<

[ooop]

We actually have a reasonable argument, we believe a staff member on this forum purposely spammed the forum at an attempt to give N-Designs a bad name.

Well Luke was away, Colin and Russell worked for hours to try clear up the mess you guys made. Luke spend 3 hours banning and going through all the threads. Why would they spam there own forum, they are sad that they have been spammed. Looks as if you're trying to cover up something.

Get real.
A reasonable argument?
You don't have a reasonable argument.
The amount of time it takes to clean up the mess of this spamming and trying to prevent the spam is time-consuming, and it is really a waste of time. Why on Earth would a staff member here do that? The staff of cC are not idiots. They are smarter than to do something stupid like spamming a forum they are staff on. There are 4 staff members, really only 3, but Mark Gray is a Moderator of the graphic requests board. The staff includes Luke, he was away of course. Russell, well, of course he didn't do it, that's quite obvious, he spent time cleaning it up himself. Colin, well, I know Colin wouldn't do anything like that, Colin is a lot more mature than that, and he is a lot smarter than that. Nonetheless, Colin also cleaned up a good portion of the spamming. Then, Mark Gray, he is pretty new, I don't think he would spam cC, when he hasn't been around much, and he is a member of N-Designs, and it looks like he somewhat likes N-Designs as well. It's an abomination to throw out accusations like that, Ooop.

Notice, the only vacation Luke goes to that doesn't have internet? Is that odd?
Notice, the admins can't see IPS? Hmm..
Notice, the spamming completely stopped when he came back, and they were most likely using a proxy, why would they just suddenly stop?

That's the first holiday he's been on.
That could've been a simple mistake.
And they would stop because he banned them.

YOU ARE THE WORLDS BIGGEST FRICKEN PRICK FOR THINKING THAT THIS WOULD BE LUKE OR ANY OTHER STAFF. HE HAD MORE OF A LIFE TO SPAM HIS OWN FORUM.

I think your covering it all up and it's you, your going to put the blame on the staff when they are innocent! Your a prick.
