Hi, myself!

So long...

As the title says, this topic has an error, something so unusual that I could hardly believe it: it has had no spam posts... yet.

Regards!

PS: Of course its for the time being, now 11:55PM GMT-3. And of course I don't guarantee anything at all by midnight.
 
@Hui

Hi!

You catch me... so how I'm going to catch you if I don't do this?

Regards!

PS: Actually I'm seriously concerned about the amount of spam, one or two months ago I'd say that there was a 20%-30% of spam posts on topics with spam, but now there are a lot of times with 100% or more.

PS2: Besides, every day I found more spam undetected as there're posts with only text, not URLs nor anything than the anti-spam engine tracks, I delete 5-10 daily.

Well, I was wrong: 2h30m without spam... and then the 1st arrived. Should this be the normal value?

Regards!
 
Hi SirJB7,


On most other forums there is a small "report" button on each post generally "an exclamation mark in triangle" kind of symbol which allows normal users to report:

- obnoxious / derogatory posts

- spam

- repeat posts (e.g. same thread started twice by the same user etc.)


So that moderators can take action based on users report. This reduces moderator's load and helps spam control.

So when you logon theres no spam and then there is spam?


Sounds like I've found the source


Have you checked yourself for Viruses lately

You might have a spam bot hidden away?
 
Hi SirJb7,


I just deleted three threads that were nothing but spams, written in French (I think) :)

Hi, shrivallabha!

It'd be a good idea, maybe Chandoo could implement the warning button.

Regards!


@Hui

@Chandoo, all

Hi!

I think that it'd be better if you close Tag fields to be chosen only from a clean source of what there is today or at least restrict it to topic creation time and moderators capabilities. Why only at topic creation? because the topic disappears and no tags remain active.

Why? Well, there's a huge volume of spam, most of which is stopped by the ad-hoc engine (even with its false positives and its undetected posts), so I wondered why so much stupids spent time posting even if they know their posts are removed. I think I found why: comments are not removed by anti-spam. And I should be one (if not the only) who cleans Tag fields from first page, it takes only 5 minutes.

I googled "moncler pas cher chandoo" just as an example, and you wouldn't bet how many entries I found. Give a try with the following link, and this is only for one single string. This is why the stupids (are you reading idiots?) go on posting even if their posts are removed: they still get better positioning at search engines.

What do you think about it?

Regards!
