Get the crap out of spammers!!!0 -
Why is this like a never-ending game of whackamole? Even the crappiest forum software has anti-spam measures that can be employed. I don't get it.0

You're a mod. I get that. But asking the members to do an administrative task? All it does is delay a permanent solution to the problem.
But if y'all have nothing better to do...
...whack away. 0 -

Actually, a member started this thread. It's the community helping us keep this clean. We never asked them to do it, but it is encouraged. And the way I see it, it's no different than if you see another violation (promoting a business/mlm, promoting vlcd, etc...). There are only a handful of mods/admins, so if the members don't help, this place would be full of issues.
But we do recognize an overall issue with the software, which they are working on a solution.

Do you really participate on MFP because it's the most important thing you could possibly be doing with your time? Well then you're a much better person than I

All I'm saying is that it's taking waaaaay too long for simple measures to be put in place here that would make all this effort unnecessary. 0

I don't recall ANY staff or volunteers ever contacting me to go after spam. I enjoy a challenge ...snickerscharlie wrote: »You're a mod. I get that. But asking the members to do an administrative task? All it does is delay a permanent solution to the problem.

I think I need to clarify. I didn't mean to sound like I was saying that the mods asked people to flag the spam - I'm well aware that this thread was started by a member.
But note how old this thread is! And this is a problem that is not that difficult to solve on the admin end. Yet here everyone is - all this time later when a solution has supposedly been in the works - still having to flag the freaking spam? Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous? Not to mention highly unprofessional for a commercial (read: revenue-producing) venue? I've been on a lot of forums, and I even admin a few, and I've *never* seen a situation where the spam isn't capable of being deleted behind-the-scenes before it ever reaches the public view.
And I respectfully suggest that for as long as the members here are willing to continue to do something that should've been dealt with ages ago, where's the motivation for them to fix it?

Guess Thats what happens when a site grows so quickly lol0 -
