HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 8, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I do believe the amount of Spam hinders the success of this forum. There are just a lot of spam posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yes. Very frustrating. Wish they could do something about it. I am trying to report each one as spam, but not sure if that is going to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 10, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I was also reporting each one but I stopped. There needs to be a fix that prevents this spam before it is posted. It's getting hard to locate the true posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think it has to do with the forum design. Spammers have developed automated programs to register and post on most generic sites, so if the forum is using an 'off-the-shelf' product, then it is quite easy for them to get on. My guess is there are security settings which could be used to stop these spammers from posting, but they would also make it harder for genuine people to register. It is something the mods should really look into though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted August 10, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 He said they the security settings were in place. Not sure what's going on. Frustrating to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted August 10, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Looks like all the spam posts are now flagged I guess if we see that flag don't even bother opening it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted August 10, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I don't know but I have never seen so many spams at some forum. Interestingly, most of spam-post appear during weekend so they know when it is appropriate to breake in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your help is always really appreciated! Have a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
