Spam in Quotes

[Blondie Bear]

A few weeks ago I noticed (both here and at AD) really annoying spam in the random quotes. Twice today, I've gotten ads for Viagra. Figured I'd bring it to the attention of the mods. I think I remember Buffy Summers saying something about having to find and delete the quotes in question because someone was hacking in and planting these ads in the random quotes.

Have fun, modly types!

Thanks for letting us know, Blondie Bear. We found the quote and it's been taken care of :thumbsup:

In the future, if you guys notice any spam or inappropirate content in the quotes please either post about it or PM a Moderator that's online, and we'll take care of it.

(And if you can, sending along a copy of the quote itself doesn't hurt either. It makes it a little easier for us to track it down).

Not quite spam, but still an oddity:

"-quote has been removed-" - anogrerse

That's just what's left of the quote you reported (it'll be deleted soon), but thanks for bringing it up all the same 🙂
