DO NOT BUMP SPAM

[p1ngpong]

As many regular visitors of the site know we are forever waging a war against spam bots here. We are generally quick to exterminate them and their threads thanks to quick reporting by our members and vigilance by the moderating team and I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to bring spambots to our attention.

However tonight something happened that genuinely made me both angry and disappointed at the same time and also made me question the common sense of some of our most prolific and well known members.

A porn spambot made a thread on the forum with graphic images and links in its opening post. People proceeded to post in this thread not once or twice, but nine times.

So this thread was bumped to the top of the latest discussion tab and given more views nine times with idiotic posts ranging from the usual "reported" to people just thinking they are funny.

Let me make it clear:

DO NOT BUMP OBVIOUS SPAM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS PORNOGRAPHIC!

Just report it!

Thanks.

I am going to take a few hours out to calm down before I take any action if any on the people who bumped that last thread, my immediate reaction being to suspend you all for your stupidity.

I already know about this principle before. At the end of the day, you're just giving the spam more attention and that's not the point of trying to get rid of it.

Be like me- the king of spam reporters and shoot (click the report button) them off this site. They'll continue coming forward, because they can.

Yep, do that. Report and move on.

My fault blud

If possible, maybe auto block the titles from being created in quick succession? There might be a reason to make three threads with the same title, but doing more than that and so quickly, is most likely spam.

I'm annoyed at spammers and FUCK to all of spammers.

linuxares: Stop it!!!
Me: I don't listen and still responding to spam post.
linuxares: My banhammer is broken, but I got a wooden paddle to hit your ass. It hurts.
DinohScene: Hey, I want to do same - double licks.
Me: My ass hurts bad and I quit respond to spam post.
linuxares: Good, I'm proud of you.

 

[CMDreamer]

Already said this, but replying to SPAM posts should grant them -at least- a one week mute.

Here is this shit again, I thought we defeated it, but this cancer always finds a way, not matter what kind if filters you have. socnetworks, phone, mail, messengers... Why that paupers can't just die with anal cancer? World would be a better place.

I do think forum should hire new moderators who are night owl or sleep during day, so they can annihilate the spammers quickly.

or make all online status invisible for all moderators/admins, so spammers wouldn't know whoever is online or not.

I totally agree with you. There have been a shortage of moderators lately during the evenings and that these bots like to post around midnight when everybody is asleep.
