[meta] Hey mods can we ban/block u/pacocan2 from this sub for spamming fake mirror links (read my text box for more info)? | Megalinks MegaDB [meta] Hey mods can we ban/block u/pacocan2 from this sub for spamming fake mirror links (read my text box for more info)?

This user has been spamming fake "mirror" links in comment sections of old and new posts lately here is this user's post history. Every link this user has posted is exactly the same with the web browser tab titled "file234by.pac.rar" and each link leads to a site called "Megafilesfactory" and here is the what the site looks like when opened. I made this post to let other users on this sub know what been going on.

STOP POSTING MEGAFILESFACTORY LINKS HERE!
THIS IS A MEGA.NZ SUB ONLY! IF YOU POST 1 MORE LINK TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN MEGA.NZ YOU'RE GONE!

Banning the user won't help, they'll just make another. Ban the domain so no users can post links to it.

Also, your /u/ notifies in OP won't work, there is a 6 user limit on notifications to stop it from being abused by (heh) spammers.

Send a message to the mods directly if you want their attention.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the useful info :)

[-] Cristian_01 | 3 points | Jan 21 2017 20:00:02

I would say noob, but I'm afraid of the consequences.

[-] indigo6alpha | 3 points | Jan 22 2017 07:01:55

That domain was already blocked in link submissions. I have now blocked it in self posts and comments as well.

[-] vcdupper | 20 points | Jan 21 2017 15:44:25

Also removed ALL of the stupid posts by these 2
Good lookin out /u/extremebs & /u/eightballthrowaway

Yeah I noticed pacocan2 around an hour ago when they started posting links to megafilesfactory on my megalinks posts, I did report some of their comments but this was a better idea, hope they get what they deserve.

[-] unedleague | 7 points | Jan 21 2017 12:24:56

If you download the file from the linked site you just get a 1Kb rar file containing one png. It`s either a scam or a troll.

[-] extremebs | 4 points | Jan 21 2017 12:28:47

I was gonna say that in post but was afraid of opening the far file if it had a virus or something. Thx for taking one for the team.

[-] unedleague | 14 points | Jan 21 2017 12:34:26

Tbh i doubt that it contains a virus. I guess that this is their main motivation

[-] Bodyguard121 | 10 points | Jan 21 2017 13:29:19

It says only files above 10 mb count. He couldnt even do that right.

[-] GldRush98 | 5 points | Jan 22 2017 01:10:24

That's the great thing about stupid people, they're so dumb, they even fuck up scams they're trying to pull 😂

[-] eightballthrowaway | 6 points | Jan 21 2017 13:59:05

edit: u/salak222 is also doing this :/

i wondered what that dude was doing. i'm weary of clicking links like that so asked him why he posted the stuff on mine and he didn't respond yet. thanks for biting the bullet for us.

[-] extremebs | 1 points | Jan 21 2017 14:05:57

Only did it twice but it's a start. I wonder if there's anyone else doing this on this sub.

[-] extremebs | 5 points | Jan 21 2017 14:15:31

M..m.make r/megalinks great again.

[-] XIJ3S0NXX385 | 2 points | Jan 21 2017 20:46:24

I will.

[-] jackandjill22 | 2 points | Jan 23 2017 03:31:46

MEGA.

[-] indigo6alpha | 2 points | Jan 22 2017 07:01:14

That domain was already blocked in link submissions. I have now blocked it in self posts and comments as well. Report any other such spam websites being used and I will add those to the list.

[-] extremebs | 1 points | Jan 22 2017 07:04:10

Okay, will do :)
