Crap Posts on our Forum REMOVED :)

Post by dfnder »

Is it possible to have more members who are able to Delete posts and Ban people that post crap onto the Forum? On other forums I belong to new members are screened before they can post, for instance someone with the login name "promofones" or "hot-nike" would be autodeclined.

Hey thanks, I see these posts have been removed

Cool, I saw it but never moused over to see what it does. I'm wondering if you are reporting them regularly what is the end result after that is done? Are they being Banned eventually?

Thanks for pointing that out Delicat :)

We've been fortunate enough not to have had too many "Autoposter" attacks (perhaps about 5 such episodes over the past year). Unfortunately, the only way to be 100% sure that spammers couldn't access the site would be to manually screen everybody before they can access the site -- this adds quite abit of work, and poses an inconvenience on new members (of whom 99.9% are the types who we want on this site).

FalcoColumbarius has recently joined the moderator squad, and can be thanked for successfully Nuking the Ipod-sales spammer last night. Great work Falco! :-D

Glad to be of service to the cause. I am new to this so I hope I do a good job. I think this is a "crucial" site and club to be a part of. I have met a lot of really cool people through this site, whom have some way cool ideas ~ very inspiring, indeed.

Cheers! Falco.

So that is what that red exclamation point is for. Even after you pointed it out it took a while for me to find it :-)

And once someone has 'reported' a post, it will show separately in one of the extra forums that only the moderators have access to. This is how we know which ones have been reported and need to be dealt with. :-)
