Thread: Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

I've been getting quite a few of these messages recently. Normally, if somebody reports a classified on my website, it will give the link to the actual classified. But the reports I've been getting lately are linking to some hotel classified in Turkey. Is someone hacking my website? My website is sports related and got nothing to do with hotels or Turkey.

Here's the message I've been getting:

Someone has reported the following classified ad on your site: URL REMOVED

IP Address: 91.199.50.100
Server: 91.199.50.100

Re: Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

What's the url of your site so that we can check it out.

Re: Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

PMd you the link. Thank you.

By the way, where did you purchase Classipress as a code might have been added if it is from someone else.

Re: Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

I got it directly from this site. Yes it might been moded because I am using a certain plugin that comes with a mod for classipress.

any help from tlhe admin, mods? im am continuously getting these reports on my email

Re: Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

Someone is obviously clicking on the report flag within your ads which is generating the message - whether intentionally to annoy you or an honest mistake, it's not a bug. If it's happening excessively and bothering you, you can turn off the report ad function within your CP settings. Change the "Show Report Button" option to "No" and the flag will no longer be available for someone to click. Otherwise maybe someone in the community can some up with a mod that allows only registered/logged in users to report an ad?

thanks pepsi!

But if I hit the report button myself (I also asked a friend from a different location to do this), the email that I would get is like this

But why is it that the problematic report that prompted me to open this thread goes like this
See the difference? It shows URL REMOVED

Is this an attack or something?

Re: Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

Mods, any thoughts on this? I think this is a vulnerability that needs to be addressed.

Re: Someone has reported the following classified ad on your sit

Personally, I don't believe it's a bug, it's spam. You haven't ever provided your own URL but I assume you have a contact form on your site, which could also be another method for spammers to contact you.

In fact, I have gone back and removed the URL from all your posts..I could be forgiven for thinking you yourself were trying to spam this site with that URL as well the amount of times it was appearing
