Fight against spam
-
Would it be too hard to make it so that once you have your posts flagged say, five times in total, you wouldn't be able to post anything at all, until moderator has checked them. That way,the spambots currently roaming these forums could be silenced by normal users. And users that flag comments for no real reason should be punished.
-
That could have its own problems with popular opinion, though I don't necessarily expect them.
I do have a question for the mods: Does it help if we flag multiple spam posts in a torrent, or does that just spam your inbox in turn?
-
Kim got us good.

What the hell is happening here?
-
wouldnt it just be easier to have a like forum support team created that allows for deleting and keeping an eye on these things made up of those users that are in here all the time.
-
@Musou-Tensei I don't think North Korea has much incentive to spam a small internet forum, haha.
-
I believe this is a job for the mods... but they need to sleep too.
-
The spam has been exterminated sorry about that guys. Lucky I was up early enough to deal with the problem. Also I do not mind getting my inbox flooded with flagged posts.
-
@Swordfish00830 I suppose its better to get an inbox spammed with flags than having a forum full of chinese spambots! :3
-
Ya it's fine. Flag away if you notice anything.
-
I don't really understand this kind of spam...
Has anyone ever clicked on a link from those kinds of posts in the history of the internet? Or do people just like to be a nuisance?
-
I was wondering why the amount of my unread posts suddenly skyrocketed tonight. Wacky spambots.

Exact same thing happened to me when I signed in.

Working through it now guys. Sorry about this.
-
I've installed reCAPTCHA and Honeypot to cut down on spam registrations. We have some other options we can do, but let's see how this works first.

Those dastardly Koreans are at it again! I wonder what's in the code of that bot, really it makes no sense to write a spam link bot that does nothing but blast one section with a dodgy title. More of a nuisance than a threat to people one would imagine.
-
Don't worry your ever vigilant mods are always watching 😎
-
Time to fight again. So many Delhi Call Girls and stuff here now.
-
Yeah I have reported like 80 posts just today! To arms against the spammers! to arms!

It's a good thing I've got decent internet this morning. Instantly saw 99+ notifications... I was thinking I'm not usually this popular :P
