More Moderators for the Forum?

[L3wisD]

Picked a helluva couple of days to come and check in on you guys ?

For what it's worth I've banned a few bots this morning. 

Still got my old powers so I'm helping!

I know you are 'retired' so I wouldn't place any expectations on you - but we need more moderators that frequent the forums daily.

The last couple of days have been rough.

Sad days when this is the most active thread on the forum ?

Hey at least it shows we care... 

?

Yeah it does look like you guys have had it rough. I'll keep popping in every day to see if I can help out.

We're coming up to the time of year that Jedi goes on his "no technology" two week holiday too, so the team will be a man down soon as he literally goes completely off grid ?

FFS, they've now started posting their shite in the "ask a question" box in normal (?) members sales threads. 

Its like feckin skynet ?

 

[Speedbird_666]

Just been hit with another wave of spam threads.  ?

I'll keep reporting them as I see them.

I'm waiting to see if they post one here

LOL, I'm looking forward (NOT) to when they evolve & start sending PM'S ?

 

[Leo Greer]

Lets hope our American variants don't cross the Atlantic. They'll send PMs and even send emails, but they don't spam adds for pure drug powders..

...imagine if they interbreed...

I think that's just an American thing  ???

Ooof. Another morning of Spam. I've reported eveything I could find again.

Supporters can now sign up to be granted 'Spam Flagger' powers. If this doesn't get enough participants then I'll broaden who's eligible to get these.

Registrations are suspended but unfortunately these were accounts pending verification. There will likely be more, but I have run through the list of verifying accounts and deleted anyone overly suspicious.

I believe that this is because the forum counts your sign up date/time as being from when you validated your account, not from when you actually filled out the registration form.

I thought we needed a certain amount of posts before being able to gain access to posting adverts?

Ah, just realised , the bots are spamming all pages, then hitting the adverts ??‍

Yeh - took me a little while to pick up on that too.

Good move to roll out the functionality to the Supporters - hopefully they will be able to help tackle this issue.

If we all whatsapped them, maybe it would take up enough of their time to stop annoying us? ?

I like your thinking. I was thinking we sign them up for loads of mailing lists or put their numbers on fake tart cards

I have actually "asked"[*]them to stop spamming this tosh here, noting that they'll never get any business from it, on the basis that it can't make it any worse.

[*]Being as polite as their conduct deserves.
