spam...

Postby formichiere » Wed May 23, 2012 3:21 pm

So... we're still having a huge problem with spambots, obviously. I'm just wondering if I should continue coming back to this site at all. =[ I really like it but every time I come here, there's nothing but spam. I want to post stuff but it'll get lost in the sea of russian porn. =[ I know this is an ongoing problem and I don't know how to fix it but... I'd like to see it fixed somehow... I miss this site.

I submitted a report about it a while back. No response. I'm pretty sure there are no mods left here; either they've stopped caring or they've abandoned the forum.

I think I see spam disappear sometimes but I've certainly given up reporting it. There's just too much.

Sadly, no. I don't think I've come across anything else similar...

I'll miss this place.

There is some Irony to the above post..
I would be happy to take on a mod position to be a spamwatcher. I try to come on the site at least one a week

So, I'm still here I just went to a Con for the weekend...

Came back to 300 + spam posts... sigh...

I'm hesitant to add on mods/admins cuz they always leave within a month or two then i have to add new ones...

I'm gonna lock down the registration even more, hopefully it'll drop the numbers some.

I'm willing to take on volunteers... I just don't want to end up with a crazy number of mods...

Okay, now there is a new user group. Their posts have to be approved by a mod. We'll see how this works.

Thank you metalhead_sammi! You have all my respect and gratefulness for the job!
Perhaps it would be nice to have some kind of an instruction somewhere on the forum of what to do when we encounter spam, how and to where to report it, who are the moderators we can mail to, etc.
I would very much like to do whatever I can do to make your job easier!

Welp, my signature says clearly you can PM me if you find it. :) you can either report the offending post, or if it's a whole spam thread, just PM me the link to it. I'll take care of it!
