This user on that site appears to be posting lots of threads that appear on site, I dont know if this is a user that is copying posts, or if it is a security issue. It is a lot of threads by a few users.

:yes: if you look through just that user's posts, all of our new threads appear in the order they did here, even this one :mad: It's only the first post but still. :mad:
I think it's copied and pasted because who could have thought of the same poem as mine it was made up!
Perhaps thesite.org should block that domain.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on this. Basically it does seem like it's an automated thing and so our next step is to get our technical guru to see if he can work out exactly how it's working (might be pulled from RSS feed for instance) and from there we can work out what we can potentially to do to protect TheSite.org from this kind of thing.
In the meantime, I know it's horrible and frustrating to see your own thread duplicated in another forum and I guess it's good at least that it doesn't seem to be a proper community of people responding and there don't seem to be any of TheSite usernames linked to the duplicate threads.
Having said that - I'm not saying you shouldn't rant or feel annoyed about it. The internet can throw up some weird things and this is definitely frustrating!
I'll keep everyone posted on this.
Cheers,
Helen
If you look through all the threads this user has posted, most of them are pulled from thesite.
Only the first post is recreated, however a hell of a lot of recent threads have had the OP's post copied.
But I reckon that's a hack, not convinced that's someone actually sitting there recreating new threads constantly... do you think?
This user [account] would have been appropriate
I leave the politics to you
The test will be this thread, of course. If it appears, its a bot of some kind. If it doesn't, some sad person has nothing better to do with their time.
This thread appeared there last night!
if you look here you can see all the threads the mod has posted - 80%spam 20%ours
LMAO!
The whole forum seems a bit weird.
It loads for a second or two, but then forwards onto something which is non findable.
Wont load for me
e/ damn, I said I wasn't going to post a new thread till it was sorted, and I just did. Oh well.
I wonder why.
