Posted July 3, 2017 Please do. All you can do for now is report them. I have no idea how slow/fast the mods are here, but I'll find out today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 The Mods are normaly pretty fast in clearing the forum from spam, but they cant be online 24/7 . I already made an Thread a time ago where i mentioned a few ways to make it harder for the spambots but i dont think that the right person read it. Only thing we can do is report all spam we see like @Genesai already said. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main reason why spam doesn't get removed is that it is the middle of the night for the mods. They are sleeping when all of the spam appears. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2017 Hello @Venger10, as some people already said: We do our very best to delete these spam posts as fast as possible. Most of the Bots start posting at times, when most from our moderators are sleeping (Mostly at night in Central European Summer Time) Also most moderators are having a job in real life. Depending in which timezone you are living you are seeing such spam posts a bit longer the the others (Because of the time difference) To help us get rid of it, please report such spam posts. We will delete them as soon as possible Greetings -Radack 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 But seriously, you gotta try the...NEW MEGA DICK SOAP!!! 19.99!!! TWELVE STROKES AND IT'L BE TWICE THE LENGTH! I agree though.. These ads are brutal. They should implement some type of code or registration from now on that you need to make a forum account. Like a CD key or something that comes with every copy of Identity sold. Make em pay for it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 4, 2017 @KifDawg - No, they should NEVER make the forum only for payers. I know its a joke ( i hope so ) but no.. there are other ways to keep the Forum clean from spam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the best way to help is to report any of them you see so we can catch them all! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2017 Basically just make a restriction to links inside post title. and keep in a registry all spam links and add them to the restriction so they cannot be posted inside a topic 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 6, 2017 those spam posts aren't that much of a nuisance to me, but that doesn't mean I want them, hopefully mods are quicker to remove them in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) They have to fix this as soon as possible. It isn't that hard and it's destroying the forum. Edited July 7, 2017 by Sjondefries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The spam is being filtered by somehow it is bypassing the system used on this forum and so hopefully when the revamped website / forum is up, it will be fixed.
