Report Spammers!
So I am starting this thread exclusively for reporting spammers. Just name the spammer here (link to his user info) so that us mods can delete their threads and posts and ban them. We will remove the user report once the spammer is dealt with. GUIDELINES TO REPORT: 1. DO NOT REPORT NON-SPAM POSTS like discussion of something illegal, etc. That kind of stuff is rare enough to be reported normally using report button. Besides, you don't want to offend any member by publicly reporting him. 2. I suggest keeping a tab on whichever forums you visit often. For example, a gamer can keep track of his favourite gaming forum, a FOSS guy can keep track of the open source section, etc for quick reporting. 3. State the user name and link to his user info page instead of listing user's threads. Since same guy can have many posts, this will save time for us by having to open just one tab in browser. 4. Don't reply to spam threads - this is a serious warning. This way I can delete only ALL of his posts and his threads vanish. If you reply, the thread will not have spam but your post will remain, making it look ugly indeed. 5. READ THIS: Identify Spam Messages It can be helpful in identifying spam, but don't try to be over smart and mark genuine stuff as spam. Besides, that kind of spam is fast disappearing. 6. Don't expect instant action. Mods are also humans. But rest assured, the delay won't be over 24 hours because most of us come online daily.

Re: Report Spammers!
I'll keep a tab on the gaming section, as that is where I frequent the most.
Just to be clear, does this include advertising threads as well?

Yup. But not ads from non-spammers (maybe an ordinary member like yourelf or myself advertising his forum). For that use the report button.
This is exclusively for chain spammers or guys who register only to spoil this forum. Quote:

Re: Report Spammers!
^^^ You beat me on this one dude. I was about to report this...
I am realizing that removing spam is like shaving no matter how much you shave next morning you have to do it all over again  !

Re: Report Spammers!
^^I wonder the same.
DONE BTW. So is this thread proving effective in controlling more spam or not ? I may need another mod to take over from 16/5/2009 to 23/5/2009 (end points included) since I am going away on vacation to a place without internet.

Re: Report Spammers!
Regarding the thread may I suggest to you MHG that you should flag those posts whom you have dealt with? Replying with Done is OK but it may lead to confusion if there are too many Reports all at once.
Maybe you should edit the report post with DONE? Or maybe just delete the report post just to keep the thread clean? Just a suggestion.

Editing takes time. Do you know that all reported posts go to special threads each in a special section which need to be locked each time they are dealt with ? Thats soooo damn time consuming when the no. of complaints gets high.
