Title: This forum is a bit spammy don't you think?
Post by: leavesbrown on April 02, 2013, 01:14 pm
The same user posting a ridiculous number of threads advertising some dodgy looking bitcoin vending site, does not not look legit.
I know this is the N00bz forum and is bound to generate a lot of spam due to the 50 posts rule, but it would be nice to see measures to reduce the amount of commercial spam that is literally filling up the boards. I've reported this a few times now and this has just resulted in the spammer giving me negative karma, which I don't appreciate at all.

Could mods at least enable a www. filter in forum titles or something?

TY

Good lord.  This has been going on for months and the only reason you are unaware of that is because we take care of it as quickly as possible and have done a damn good job keeping it under control.  However, even after 12-18 hours a day here, I do have to sleep, as does my counterpart here, samesamebutdifferent.  I'm cleaning it up now.

They usually hit multiple times throughout the day and night, but rarely on weekends ... lol.
