Question/Message to the Moderators - How can we stop people spamming our forum with TV/Movie promotions?

[#1]

These tv/movie promotions are not needed in this forum

[Uliwooly]

My suggestion will be if someone post more than one thread in 5-20 minutes then put those threads under quarantine and remove them from the main page feed and the forum threads

and if power users report them as abuse, remove them from the main page and threads aswell

just a suggestion

Not sure if the time limit restriction may help, but something is better then nothing.

The only thing with the time limit, is that if these spammers have a script file that makes a post just outside the time limit, still will end up having multiple posts throughout the day.

in this way we wont be able to help other guys..

i mean time limitation as u said..

well u me apc user keeps on posting if we find any1 we could offer our help :smileygrin: :smileygrin:

so no..

suze replied earlier to click on report abuse button..

but the original message or the first message doesnt have the REPORT abuse button

Hey guys,

We are trying out best to keep the spammers at bay, reporting the posts as abuse is definately a big helping hand, you can report the orginal post as abuse just look for this on the left handside column, you will see a Report Abuse button .

Any feedback related to this is more then welcome infact I encourage it.

Will keep you posted.

As slimshaddy has also stated we will do it if we come across anymore of these kind of spam.

I think what Uliwooly meant with the time limit is if we ourselves post a new discussion thread.

The time limit would not stop us from to replying to others in their discussion thread they started.

Yes these spammers are irritating!!

[#8]

Jake, currently there are still spam posts from watchonline04 in this forum.

Are you able to remove them?

[Uliwooly]

yeah that's what I meant, creating new threads

[slimshaddy]

@ apc and uliwwoly..

okz my bad..misunderstood the thing

just 1 question..

we cant repor abuse to the original message posted by the spammer..or even every 1 else's..

theres no option of report abuse for the 1st message of each thread..
