Spammers

Post by Celeste Stewart »

Sheesh, the spammers are never ending. Usually, you can spot one right away and ignore them but they are still annoying. Any way we can "privatize" the forums? I don't want to make more work for the editors or admins but hmmmn what if we make it harder to post here?

Just a few thoughts:

Maybe some sort of check to see if the poster has a valid CC account. I don't know. ... It seems anyone can create an account and tout their exciting nude videos of Britney, Paris, or whoever.

I'd be willing to help police the forums myself if there were a way to flag a post as spam. Maybe established forum members could earn the right to delete obvious spam messages?

I also wouldn't want the forums to be hard for newbies with questions to access/post to, so some sort of controls that verify intentions might help. If you don't have a vaild CC account, you can't post? Or if you haven't read at least XX amount of posts, you can't post. I don't know. I have no clue what kind of restrictions may or may not be possible. . .

Spammers seem more prevalant than ever lately and while I love my new "Tuscon used car underware" (hee hee), it is annoying to see spammers getting through each day.

:oops: Gosh, don't I have something better to do than fret over spammers? Who cares - they all suck! :D Don't click on the spam links!

Spammers are a way of life... every solution put in place has a work around in hours. Its not worth the trouble its easier to moderate posts. Now... With that said would you like to be a forum moderator? :)

Really we just need more mods

Hey, I'd also be willing to help moderate the forums if you need more hands (err...keyboards). No reason why you guys should have to do it all!

They need someone to work the "nightshift". Since after Celeste has gone to bed, they creep in and spam all night long. Every morning I see them here. How early or late do you stay up Keesa?

Just my opinion -- it's great to see Ed get help!
