W0lu spammers? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I may be wrong but I suspect three people to be promoting this site. I have read stuff like I purchased a camera from wolu.co.uk and when I type in wolu in to google, the site doesnt even appear there. Also I used my unscientific method but reliable method of "seeing" how many people actually use them.WOT(Web of Trust) and McAfee siteadvisor give them a grey ring/baloon which suggests they are a really new site

The people saying that have "used" them seem to be people with really low posts. Apologies if Im wrong, but it does seem that the person with the username wolu is getting other people to do the "spamming" for them to try and boost confidence in their shop

Again, sorry if Im wrong, but only new members recommend this shop. I would trust someone with a higher post count, but sorry I cant trust any of the new members

These people may/may not be spamming, but if they are indeed spamming, then I suppose its for the best that this issue has been raised.

Im sorry if this is meant to be in the lounge section instead

The forum member known as w0lu has already had several links to his " would be" site removed by our mods , who try to save us from things like this , as you said it's only members with such a low post count verifying for the site. Wouldn't trust him myself

I banned member wolu a couple of days ago after he kept trying to sneak live links to his site into his posts. (Obviously doesnt know much about linking back though as the links actually linked back to his forum profile

)

bryan tyler -spammer. Can we have a sticky at the top of this section to report spammers?

Analoguesat · 02-07-09, 06:44 PM

No need just click on the red triangle "report post" in the bottom left of every post

That flags up a warning in the staff area and the mods can deal with it
