Ban the spammers?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 19:06:46 GMT

Ok, last days these spam threads were few and I could withstand that, but this is getting ridiculous. Spam thread are taking all spaces, pushing user created threads down, which makes this forum useless. Pleas take some measures to ban these users or change registrtion to prevent this.

Everyone, open the thread with the spam and click on "Report abuse" on the right. Pick "Spam" and submit.

Yes, I'm aware of the situation and we're working on a solution for getting less spam (for example some captcha when registering). Right now all spammers are deleted manually along with the content but hopefully we can get a permanent solution up and running soon.

We are working a lot on keeping the spammers away. A few thousand threads and users has been removed so far. Keep on reporting the threads when you stumble upon spam-threads.

I'm personally trying to both answer the questions asked along with removing the spam. When you report the threads it's much easier for us to remove them quickly.

I know.

I think it is a robot spammer.

Look at the user names, not normaly names.

Make the registration diffecult, thats do orther fora's also and ban the registration of the robots.

Maybee login only with Sony account and not facebook or Google+

indeed it has to be a bot but it might be also a person who try different methods, some threads are a bit more elaborate but it's only 1 out of 100+

btw what does 73's stand for?
