Who is huanic?  There are some very suspicious looking posts on here.  If I am wrong then I am sorry but in this day and age Idon't want to risk my computer.  They just seem to add comments to old posts that haven't been up here for a while.

I reported him a few minutes ago.  Looks very suspicious to me!

PS: Can someone get into our computers like this?  Pretty scary if they can.

looks like a spammer to me, ban it :)


edited to add, seems theyve either got a program to copy peoples posts or their doing it manually , then adding the links in, just read thru a few and they are real peoples replys from earlier on in the thread

Natasha,

You are absolutely right : all the posts are just pieces of earlier replies glued together and interspersed with links to Asian escorts, New York escorts, etc.  Very very suspicious.   bear_angry

Can the administrator remove this "person" from the site and delete all her posts ?

It's a robot and it started posting late lastnight. I was on line when it posted it's first one. Then within minutes it jumped to 11 post and started copying other post interjecting the sex links. I asked my husband who the heck was this guy?!! Of course I assumed it was a man. You know what they say about those who assume!! :)
My husband is a police detective who works on computer forensics and he explained the whole thing to me. I was amazed!! It was a real lesson for me as I thought it was just some sicko sitting at his computer messing around. Yet it all done using computers to seek out sites to inflict their sick messages.
Anyway I too reported it.

Thanks for the explanation, Cyndee.  You and I were on when this happened last night.  I was wondering how someone was doing this with such speed.  From one post to 11 in mere minutes, then gone.  No doubt onto another forum to mess with.
It's a shame some are so determined to intrude.
Thanks, administration, for pulling the posts so fast. bear_thumb

It was weird huh Laura?
It was so fast! The first post was on the Crazy Sentence Thread and I was not feeling too well and without thinking I clicked on the link!!! I was so mad! Then I saw all the post! One right after another. I was getting ready to send the person a PM telling him to get a life! My husband stopped me and said "Not a good idea"!!
Huanic is gone now. T/T removed them pretty fast. bear_original

My husband says yes and no.
Just going to the site (Teddy Talk) should be fine but if you clicked on the link like I did then there is a possibility that it could secretly poison your computer. My husband is home and I'm writing what he has told me. bear_original

My website was hit last week by what my webmaster called a hacker.  I had lost pages, forms were messed up and commercial ads were all over the site.  Luckly he was able to fix everything, or so I hope so.  Hope no one else get hit with this type of thing.
