yah, if it's only a few spam threads that might be okay, but when you have a whole page of spam, then all the real threads get pushed down...

So what is the proper procedure? Do we go to town and report ALL spam posts popping up, or just report one post per each spammer and let the Mods hunt down their other posts?

Kenchan makes a great point, I've been bumping up the spam posts all morning by reporting them, now I feel like I have become the spammer myself :facepalm:

AK told me to just report one post per spammer account, and the mods could erase all of that account's posts raather than reporting every post by a spammer.

Ok cool, i'll just do that.

i think that's part of their plan... they are sneaky for sure. :eekdance:

I think they are automatic robots. We had tons of these on another forum I was a moderator of. I was able to get rid of the threads pretty fast but is there a way to ip ban them?

Those Bastards! Looks like another wave is coming in...

Yea it was the for sale section that prompted this thread.. I knew about the other thread, but I just wanted to bring new attention to it. Sorry if I was out of line doing so. This is getting out of hand though

I just scrolled through 20+ "latest" spam threads on my S3 before I even got to any real threads

I was thinking that. So I reported 1 post, and wrote "reported" on all their subsequent threads as well


But yeah, I guess it still bumps their threads...

Exactly. I've been hoping one of the Admins/Mods would offer some guidance.


Edit: Until we hear something official, I suggest everyone quit making "reported" posts and let's see what happens. It would be nice if the system would display a "flagged" icon so ppl could avoid reported something more than once.

maybe admins can make a sorting script or something so that all the reports for the same subject line will be filtered to one report. all the subsequent reports for the same subject line will be a report count or something.

I will let you gents deal with this and I will stay off these IBTL threads.

I had no idea this wave of stupidity existed. Why on earth would someone do this and for what purpose? Do folks get paid for this behavior?
