How often do you kill spammer posts?

Huge +1

I occasionally kill spammers’ accounts with my admin stick, but almost invariably you guys beat me to it. I really do appreciate the help.

Any chance of unbanning dear Kreisler?

The other day, a Post, then a Re-Post, got ’em both with one shot … :smiley:

Every couple of weeks I nail a few. I’m living in the same timezone as mainland China right now, so they pop up during my work day.

Spam isn’t really a problem though. The people here tend to slap them into oblivion in the first few minutes.

I nailed several, about 1 per week

Interesting! I just hit another 2 from clintonbob (I wonder if he was related to clinton bill?). Spam must be on sale today :slight_smile:

About one every week, also zero tolerance.

At slow times of the day for the forum I’ve gone through 10 spam posts at a time.

Could we block parsing of urls (clickable links) in posts & signatures for brand new users?

No tolerance.. I always use the button if I see some spam.

I just did two.

On this forum I just blasted that jibberish lastnight all 3 times. On another forum I have been on for a few years, I do it at least once a month. The mods on my other Hobby forum aren’t quiet as fast as this one. Sometimes, I have to call a mod on the phone. LOL

Zero tolerance as well.

I probably nab 5 a month or so. You guys are quicker than me apparently!

Ah he was banned?? That is why I was not seeing him!! He must surely be using a new nick :slight_smile:

Hope it is just a misunderstanding.

Sorry for thread interruption.

I've only gotten a few. They last about as long as an ant strolling past a bunch of 8 year-olds with magnifying glasses on a sunny day.

Seriously we came up with a really good system here. Spam never last a minute, pretty much all the time. And the ID’ing is very accurate too. :slight_smile:

Our Beloved Kreisl has left our midst? Cry

ive only hit it once in almost 2 years
