tillithz Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 jasonh, looks like you need some help with these clowns posting this garbage. Maybe a forum upgrade? I also notice that sometimes the forums are running rather sluggish and posts arent put in correct order. Is there anything us common users can do to help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 There isn't much I can do. I delete/ban them, and they just come back on another IP. The forum is running the latest software. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sportsfan21 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Just a suggestion; Maybe you can make ducati a moderator over the whole site, and add someone like cntrylvr79 as a mdoerator as well. That way, with more moderators around, the spam will get deleted quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 just a suggestion, you may have already thought of it but since I moderate a few other forums this is what we do: 1. the picture code verification when signing up a new account. 2. email verification 3. banning certain links words from being displayed. 4. not allowing "guest" accounts to post Let me know if i can be any more help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 MMMM Spam it's so tasty. There I got again another useles post. YAY ME!!! On a side note I thought guests could make posts anymore? There's a new post in one of the threads on the board from a guest. And of course it's more spam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 ...I moderate a few other forums...Let me know if i can be any more help Why not just come outright and ask to be a moderator instead of beating around the bush?? Anyways, I do second the nomination for cntrylvr, as well as sportsfan. These two have been instrumental for quite some time on this board. (Not to mention the fact that cntrylvr created his account on here on my 30th birthday ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 lol right on, Id guess that I dont need to be a moderator here, more mods arent probably needed, just the safeguards that I mentioned, which didnt include more mods. Besides if I really wanted something like that, there would be no need to post in public, I could simply handle things in pm.. the goal wasnt to beat around the bush, but to lend credibility so as to ensure that I might now something about the problem at hand. but I do think cntrylvr has contributed alot as well.

PaisanNYC Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 ill nominate you too if you pay me the $100 bucks that cntrylvr paid me LOL I'm off to bed now. Nite buddy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 However this turns out, something has to be done. 5 spam posts in the last 24 hours. God I hate spammers. Hey now paisannyc you weren't supposed to tell anyone that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I do agree though, these fuggers are getting wise and actually making accounts now on here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GnatGoSplat Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I think picture notification should do the trick. I'm pretty sure these spammers are bots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I think picture notification should do the trick. I'm pretty sure these spammers are bots. Image Confirmation has been in effect for months, I don't know how they are getting around it. I am looking into possible solutions. Thanks, Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
