yojichan Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I've encountered several SPAM posts made by weird usernames, all of which seem to have the same pattern having advertising links. Personally, i don't have a problem reporting them from time to time whenever i see it but i'm also wondering if there are other more effective and prompt ways to catch these SPAMMERS. they're so annoying! it's like cockroach. kill one, and more pop out of nowhere. I feel bad because this forum has gone through so much pains and efforts dealing with bandwidth thieves in the past and now these stupid SPAMMERS have invaded our happy home. I am urging everyone to be on the lookout for these SPAMMERS and to report them right away. 7
Key Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Yes, Yojichan, you're perfectly right, spammers are really a bother. I banned every single one as soon as I see one or a report. I would maybe need someone to help me with that, because due to different time zones, it always passes some time until I see them if the spammy posts are made during night (my time). So, if anyone would be interested, I would need at least a moderator, who would be able to delete the spam posts. 1
chiakaiyuki Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I can't stand spammers :Red_fox5: What time zone are you in Key? I'm sure anyone (including me) would be happy to help. 1
yojichan Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 Hi Key, I've already been quite alert with SPAMMERS and never hesitate to report them right away. I don't mind moderating to eradicate some of the problems if need be. 1
Key Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Thank you! OK, then, if you agree I'll make both of you moderators and I'll explain you how you can delete the threads or spam posts. Let's see until the end of the day how many are willing, so that I can divide the number of categories to the number of moderators. It would be better if each category would have about 2 moderators living in different time zones, so, those interested, please post here.
yojichan Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 wow. sure by all means...anything I can do to help and make the forum smooth sailing for everyone. thanks so much, Key. 1
Belita Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I don't have any kind of experience but please do count me in... I spend a lot of time online, so if you need me, i'm more than willing to help... Spams are becoming even more frequent these days, so anything we can do to help, we'll assist.... 1
hama71 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I wish I could help... but, in few week my sister family is back my time in forum will not be limit... So it's hard for me to do much... I just hope there will be more people willing to do... And I think also it best to tell which time each person on the site and there time zone... So Key could find the right person for the right place... ^^ Sorry key... that I can't help... T T 1
brohne Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I would be happy to help as well. I'm online most of the day in the USA CST so I can help watch for anything that crops up during those hours. 1
Belita Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I'm starting to find really odd that mostly all the spams are launched in the morning, around 7:00 or 8:00am in my time zone (same as London)
Saga Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Indeed,Belita. =/ Especially annoying is when you're having your coffee to find these roaches over the place. ;D
Belita Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Indeed,Belita. =/ Especially annoying is when you're having your coffee to find these roaches over the place. ;D Ahahha, well you just described my breakfast Me coffee and spams

rotten boy Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Just trying to help out. I seen it so I did what I thought was right.
chiakaiyuki Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Just trying to help out. I seen it so I did what I thought was right. Very helpful. It's often hard to see them, so people pointing them out is good
yojichan Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 just banned a few today. aaaaah! feels good. that should keep these roaches away. 1
Saga Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I agree with chiakaiyuki. (: Sometimes(not always!), either we are all tired, or spaced out,it's hard to see them only by nicknames. So, it's good that people point out when they find one. I cleared a few away yesterday. =/ Really annoying,but feels good afterwards. ;D
