Danny-Darko Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 The forum is being SPAMed tonight heavily. May I suggest the new profile must get screened and messages approved by moderators at the beginning to verify they are Bonafide intentions?

RadioRob Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 That does not stop the spam. It just means the posts are still there for a moderator to clean up that you don’t see. The moderators have an “easy” button that lets them flag a user as a spammer. With a click, anything they’ve ever posted is removed, their profile is scrubbed, and the account banned. Each post does not need reported. A single report per user is enough so they can be removed. + Vegas_Millennial, Danny-Darko, pubic_assistance and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioRob Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I’ve also done some banning of email domains since a bunch of accounts used 6 different weird domains. I’ve gone through all accounts created today and banned a few that had not posted yet but were showing up like the others. + Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloKyle Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Holy cow it just started up again big time. @RadioRob can't you temporarily block new membership sign up? Maybe implement that for a day to give this time to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
