Hey, I receive this forum via RSS-feed but lately it's been very painful - so much SPAM every day! Is there no way to prevent this from happening? I don't get it from other forums, just this one. One could perhaps ban the usage of the terms CONVERT and DVD and IPHONE in the same posting... just a thought.

ff :shock:

I know what you mean, I think Sindre needs to appoint a sub-admin or two who can delete these posts/users propmtly.

Hi guys,

Sorry for being absent from the forum for some time.

If anyone wants moderator privileges, please let me know!

I find the relatively recent flood of spam annoying as well.

Sindre,
If you give me the privs I'll try and clean this stuff up...

Is there a way we can flag the posts as spam so the moderator can get to it more easily?

by **flacflac** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 4:24 am

Agreed, a little 'report this post' button would be nice.

An upgrade to phpBB3 would make this possible. I guess an upgrade is recommended anyway and it's quite easy with the included migration tool.

Thanks

Deleted 5 posts this morning (in Norway) :-)

When deleting spam, can you please note down the authors, and post it here every once in a while. I will then blacklist those names.

Thanks for your help!

OK. I will :-)

Maybe we can have forum only for the moderators where we can share this info??
