Spam

[Matt]

What's going on with all this spamming lately? I delete about 3 threads a day that are in russian or whatever or have porn links

 

[The Batman]

buff?

You guys know to check the box, then "delete posts as spam", then it automatically IP bans the person.... right?


lol, checked the forums, just saw matt reeves' "deleted" threads. You gotta physically remove them, not just make them un-clickable. It's in the dropdown list d00d.


Here is the menu that comes up when you choose the "Delete the posts (or thread) as spam" thing

i'm tired of deleting spam ): haha.

 

[The Batman]

I'm going to start keeping track off how many bots I ban.

 

[Rob.]

if it says "moderated" next to it, it doesnt show up to anyone but us.
most of their posts dont either.

I check all the same boxes, they're probably old ones right?

I just came here to say what Dibbs said. I go in and physically remove/delete other posts/ban users even when the post has been "moderated", which is a waste of time for two people to be doing that for every spambot.

 

[Rob.]

if it says "moderated" i think no one has touched it? because deleted things show up.

I think it means the bots posts aren't approved, which means it doesn't show up to normal users, which makes it not a hassle imo

i'm kind of enjoying the random porn on all the threads though. kind of an eye opener

I'm still figuring all this stuff out haha but I just do the thing Dibbs said and delete them and ban the bots or whatever.

Haha there was a bunch of porn with weird foreign text in Parrish's video thread he just made. I actually found it kinda funny, I deleted it of course but.. yeahh. That kid's annoying..

 

[Rob.]

the regular membs can't see it (i logged off and tried to)
Thank god.

 

[brian amato]

Yeaah that's what I was thinking.

 

[TomK]

It is really annoying haha. We need to fix it.

 

[Joe Riley]

Make the options look like this.

It'll get rid of it permanently. Then even other mods won't see it any more.

 

[Rob.]

No one else is enjoying the porn?

 

[the_SD_local]

Don't be a creep. Also:

"6. No porn or related links."

 

[Rob.]

....The members cant see it, and it's the spam bots posting it.
I'm just joking around.
