Moderators?

[firedeathbot]

Do we need more modderators because we seem to be getting some spam that just sits around a few days?

Do you also delete the user accounts that are used to post spam? If you take a look at the member list (reverse the sort order to see the newest accounts on top), there are lots of accounts with zero posts. If you delete a spam message, it might be a good idea to delete the spammer's user account as well (if it has only been used for spam), because that account probably will never be used again anyway.

edit:
Such a user account often has a link in its profile to some spammer's website. By not removing the account you help the spammer by increasing its Google page rank.

the moderators are not allowed to delete user accounts

[maybe, topics of spam. removing a whole forum because of one spam post, would be interesting  ;) - @kukac@]

Well, all SPAM is comming to the General forum, but I don't think renaming it would help (I had the same problem on a own forum and even changing that forum's ID didn't help :S).

[@kukac@]

because of the spam posts (topics) usually goes to the first forum that allows to start a new topic. in our board, its the general discussion. i also remember, when we had spam in the development forum too.

i guess you misunderstood me

I didn't mean that we should just delete the forums and start a new one everytime someone posted spam!
i meant that maybe we need more moderators to get rid of spam topics because i hate opening a topic only to fing its a bunch of junk! [k - @kukac@]

[@kukac@]

i will answer to jbr in this topic:

the spam posts will be always deleted, even if it takes at least 2 days. but as you see, we cant be here all the time, to delete the spammers.

[hailstone]

I think there should be a topic that tells people we don't want those kind of posts.

[Nitecreeper]

easy. they are annoying, and you can't find topics amongts all the failed advertising. say no to spam, ladies and gentlemen!

do you think they would care all those request   :evil:  :evil:  >:(

[@kukac@]

please aware the double posts too. anyway, i currently do not know any better ideas against the spam, only deleting the topics.

[andyglest]

yes, but forum administrator can delete accounts. thats martino, right? i put my fingers into creating phpbb forums, so i explored that functions. administrator is something like owner of forum.

@kukac@: I've deleted the post "Let's get acquainted My name is Tomas!" since it's certainly SPAM, I've just seen an identical post on another board where I'm moderator xDD.

[@kukac@]

then check the "Hello people" topic, that was a spam post too. also, i wanted to give the others a feedback, that we are checking the spam post, not just sleeping while the bots are began their evil mission against the Glest Board!
