mustang guy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It seems like about every day, there is a new advertisement spam. Could we appoint an extra moderator to help delete these things? There are many long time members here who would be more than happy to fill the role as assistant mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 We should try a 24 hour wait period after registering before allowing the first post, that might do the trick. DIYaudio has a filter that stops everyone from posting more than once per minute (once every 15 minutes until you have 10 posts), I don't see spam there either.

mustang guy Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Here are two current spam posts by members who should be banned IMO: 7th post - http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/154711.aspx 2nd post - http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/154684.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utard Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Just like at the bottom of each post there is a "report abuse" option. Each users profile there should a same type link. That might help quickly identify the dirt ball spammers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 "Here are two current spam posts by members who should be banned IMO:" I reported the first one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesfan70 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I agree with Utard. That button works wonders when I was moderating at Sound & Vision's forums (which uses the same BB as this forum). I've seen the spammer in the second link before. Different username, but same style post I remember a couple of years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
