There’s a new spam classified ad – OOm Singapore.
Got it–thanks!

Thanks for letting me know. I deleted the account.

Also a suspicious ad in the Classifieds. I haven’t opened it but it appears to include links:

Got it—thanks.
There is an ad titled “buy tactical gear” in the Classifieds.

Yes, I see what you mean. Not sure what happened, but I can probably get it fixed this afternoon.

This is happening to me as well. Win10 with Firefox.
I just noticed that those names started the most recent new topic in each of those forums.I’ll try to work on it sometime this week, but at the moment I have a long list of things that are higher priorities. I’ll post here when I get it fixed.
JASDJSJHF01 just spammed the art discussion threads with crazy stuff. Just for your info.
Thanks, I removed them.
The formatting (line breaks) issue is now resolved. There was a bug in the plugin that the developers were not aware of, but they have now fixed it. Sorry it took a little while.
Sorry, I was not subscribed to this thread (I am now). I see what you mean about the formatting. There was a recent update to the Classifieds plugin, and I’m guessing there’s a bug in it. I contacted the plugin’s developer about it, and they usually reply promptly, so I should be able to get this sorted out soon. When did you start noticing the formatting problem (no line breaks)?
As for the expiration notices, here’s what I see looking at the listings admin panel…
There are a bunch of ads that should be expired, but aren’t. For example, an ad with an expiration date of 5/12, but which is still listed as “active” rather than “expired” and appears in the listings on the site. So I’m guessing that when you say you had expired listings, you mean that the expiration date had past (not that the ad was labeled “expired”)? Is that the case? If so, then the issue is not that the system isn’t sending emails, but that the expiration date is not triggering a status change from “active” to “expired.”
Of course, either way it’s a problem, but I’m just trying to identify the root of it, so I can pass that along to the developers. Thanks for your help!
OK, I have just installed a messaging limiter plugin that limits the number of PMs a user can send within a specified time. This way, when a spammer gets get through, they will not be able to flood the site with PMs. Currently the limit is set to 3 messages within 5 minutes, but this can be changed. If anyone finds this constraining, I can adjust it.
