Popular Post Speedbird_666 Posted May 22 Popular Post Share Posted May 22 @Jedi_Master Just a random brainfart, but would it not be worth adding another Moderator or two to the forums? After the influx of dodgy accounts and spamming of the Classifieds, perhaps some extra resource might be handy? No - I'm not volunteering - but there are very well established, high post count members that visit daily that would probably be very good in the role.

I did not volunteer either, just made the mistake of raising clever ideas... And then accepting the invite to help out the original Mod team.

RostokMcSpoons Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I'm on this forum an unhealthy amount of time, clicking the 'unread' button like a lab rat addicted to amphetamines. So I'll volunteer to be an anti spam moderator, might as well make the compulsion vaguely useful 😋 Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedbird_666 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Mental this morning. I have reported as much as I can (20 or 30) - but it was like whack-a-mole with new threads springing up. Classifieds is a mess. I nominate @Tackle , @Rogerborg and @rocketdogbert - three of the most prolific forums users ATM that use the forums daily. Doesn't even have to a full-blown moderator status - just a 'mini-mod' role with the power to Nerf spam threads. Handbag fights that need an adult to intervene would still be be covered by @Jedi_Master 8 hours ago, Rogerborg said: Really, @Speedbird_666 is who I want to be when I grow up.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted May 23 Supporters Share Posted May 23 Looks like it's time for keyword or national/regional IP blocking.

Root Admin proffrink Posted May 23 Root Admin Share Posted May 23 New registrations are suspended until this can be figured out. Clearly the question and answer challenge has been solved and shared somewhere. 47 minutes ago, Rogerborg said: Looks like it's time for keyword or national/regional IP blocking. Unfortunately most are smart enough to use a VPN. Keyword blocking is something I'm trying via Cleantalk, but for whatever reason it doesn't appear to always be working. These spam posts are usually deleted within an hour but some are done at 4am when no one with current moderation powers is around. New moderators: it's one of the options that I'm looking into now. I'll post here with an update. RostokMcSpoons, Speedbird_666 and Rogerborg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
