HELP - Deleting ALL spammers and re-edited SPAM posts

[scrawnybob]

hi all

Just a heads up to all those lurking webmasters and a massive notice to all wannabee spammers, two bit affiliates & halfwit promoters of total crap poker rooms (any that spam or promo post) etc etc

We've always had a near zero tolerance policy on spam / sig links etc punting sites / bonuses / rakeback / tournaments - that is however now a total zero tolerance policy

GOOD MEMBERS - Please report these posts and members as soon as you spot spam or re-edited posts with added links etc etc

ALL posts will be deleted if ANY sig links / promo links are posted in or subsequently posted in any posts in the forum

and that member will be deleted / banned indefinately

I'm sick of all the auto spammers and "clever" backdating of added links and also the halfwit two bit affiliates posting up their next greatest site ever in the forum and cr*p wannabee poker rooms with zero chance of being the next big thing posting "useful" info in the forum

I am also aware of the lame assed attempts by new webmasters or "helpful" members posting all sorts of questions or looking for feedback etc that I guarantee will get turned into promo punts for their great new "helpful site" ... we're not born yesterday here - youve not got anything new and we're not a free ad board for your business development

so be ready to be deleted / banned etc - just save your time and go elsewhere

cheers scrawnybob

ps. good members - please use report post buttons to alert admin to prob members / posts

DO NOT post in affected threads - its easier for them to get lost if you do

Sorry i may be guilty of not reporting a post Bob But i did reply to the Post and say I think your spamming and didn,t even look up his provided Link. It was the one about doing chip ,, tricks. How great it is and follow this LINK to learn how to do it. I was first reply to call it a crap post and spam post but I failed to report it to you.
For this I am sorry ,,,,,

hi

no worries

basically the red and white triangle above posts is how to report posts - or PM if you like (thats ok too)

replying just means that spam could get missed as all looks well on who last replied - but I appreciate its tempting to vent (it just doesnt help in the end)

my main concern is that while I hopefully keep ontop of the day to day obvious spam signups with sig links and zero posts, or when they make first posts they're easy to delete and ban etc

however they are increasingly sneaky f*ckers who signup pretty conclusively spam looking accounts but dont put their spammy sig links into their profiles until a fewq days later etc

or they re-edit old posts to add links in after seemingly staying under the radar

its the last two types and especially the later I want to catch / not miss

this means the more vigilant members eyes casting all over the forum looking to reply or add to threads are more likely to see these addition / modified posts that the spammers hope go unseen ... report report or PM me asap on these or any links you think are suspect or just plain lame

cheers SB

could always make members need xxx post to edit sig and use close old posts

I think zero tolerance to spamers and spam is absolutely necessary!

As I have more time now, I will help to report spam as soon as dicoverd.

Will do Bob!

I've also been noticing a TON of spammers on another site just recently (this past week actually). Seems many of them will post during off hours too.

I'm sure all we active members appreciate you keeping this BS in check, as it just cheapens our site. A big THANKS!

i too hate spammers and vow to keep a watchful eye out. war has been declared. i like the report post button and intend to use it. i will not post in respond to such garbage anymore. they are a sneaky bunch.

hi

just to update everyone that the last few days have been particularly bad with spammers

this is NOT as a result of changes to the site but some sort of concerted effort directed at lots of forums (not just ours) as I think they have broken code and what have you to get past image recognition

I will obviously keep on top of this as much as possible (currently deleting posts and spam members twice per day) but the additional hours wasted on this is frustrating

We will try to get effective fixes asap and thanks for keeping report posts coming

most crucial is NOT the obvious ones that are JOINED TODAY SPAMMED TODAY(as I will get these) but the sneaky ones who post a couple or more days later of who edit posts after the event

cheers scrawnybob

why not create a group for people with 0-5 posts that need to have there posts moderated, can turn that group on and off, turning it on when your not monitoring the forum.

u sure they are beating captcha ?
