Southpaw 61 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 is there anything you can do about them? I feel like every other time I visit, there's new spammage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarpetCrawler 280 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I'm with Southpaw. In general, I believe that a few more moderators are definitely necessary for this forum now. Especially since it's beginning to increase in size. More moderators means more of a chance of spam being removed quicker. Also, I think that if you haven't done so yet, I would suggest beginning to ban these accounts. Because if you don't, they only make more, and more, and more...

Maurice 274 Report post Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah, unfortunately spam bots are becoming smarter and smarter and have been infecting so many different forum platforms. I've made a bit of research about possible solutions to at least block them a bit. I might be trying some forum add-ons very soon to filter out any possible bot upon registration. And yup, I've been banning all spam accounts since the very beginning (just before deleting their spam posts). And I've also been thinking for a while now about eventually getting some moderators. The community is indeed increasing in size, which is cool. =) I'll keep you guys updated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted October 8, 2011 I have been seeing an uptick of these. They say something not Conan specific like "I'm new to your forum." "Thanks for the info" "I'm interested in what you have to say" and then they give several spam links. Do NOT click on the links because they may lead to virus sites. If you see any of them, flag them as spammers so they can't post without review and tell me or one of the other mods about them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering if in these scenarios, do we report them or just notify the mods? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southpaw 61 Report post Posted October 9, 2011 This would be one of the acceptable scenarios for use of the reporting system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
