Spam Volume on TDF

**asingh** · 18-07-2011, 06:18 PM

Guys,

Couple of weeks back, our admin Ico enabled the 10 post moderation mandate for new joinees. Due to this spam posts should be 0.00% or near to it. Talking about new ID's or new posters.

Have you guys this to be positive. Have you seen any spam posts by new log in ids. We need this feedback to sense-check if the new implemented system is working fine.

Thanks for your feedback.

I think it is a good move and this shall reduce the posters who come here only for spamming !

Good move IMO .

I think sp@mming has reduced. if I see it I report and inform the mods via IRC

**asingh** · 20-07-2011, 10:15 AM

Errrm..Actually I asked peoples observations in past two weeks. Have they "seen" any spam..?

thetechfreak · 20-07-2011, 10:25 AM

yes it has reduced. Saw only once or twice maybe in one feedback thread(some old digit issue) and somewhere

It has REDUCED significantly

Good job you guys, almost no spams these days, saw a spam thread today but when I reported it said no thread exists, so it was removed even before I got to report it, very nice.

Yes, it is very effective so far. Almost no spam.

abhijangda · 20-07-2011, 05:18 PM

But the Random questions need to be simplified. Its irritating that one has to google for the answer everytime.. I'm no Einstein!

Why don't you use simple maths, like (2+2/4)*7=?

**krishnandu.sarkar** · 21-07-2011, 01:19 PM

Well, we were not getting bots as spammers, they are generally call center guys or random humans who can easily solve those questions and spam. So spammers like you will get irritated and get away

There are a whole lot of threads on this simple mathematical expression evaluation

I doubt call center guys will be able to solve that math, simple BODMAS is hard for some guys
