Title: looking for a moderator to delete any spammers that get in
Post by: 94touring on May 13, 2011, 03:37:45 PM
Anyone want to step up to the plate and delete the spam members when I'm unavailable to do so?   Let me know and I'll set you up and show you what to do, pretty easy.

Dan,

If there are no other volunteers, let me know.  I'll be willing to help out.  We can discuss offline how you want it handled.

Cheers,
Michael Playle

I would be willing to help. Not much of a computer person but it sounds pretty basic so I'm sure I could handle it.

All the time. Visit here several times a day so not a problem at all.

I've knocked out a few as well.  Usually some Chinese related site/user trying to post ads and links for fashion knock-off stuff.

Too bad they can't post knockoff mini panels for super cheap.

Had several messages and users had to delete this morning. Guess the break is over.

I tell you what, you're on top of it.  As often as I check in I rarely find anything.  Did notice guest activity has been up, explaining the extra spam.  Keep up the good work.

Dan,

LOTs of spammers are getting through.  Time to consider locking down memberships to manual registrations?

322 members listed, most with no posts, and more being created daily with garbage usernames.

Post by: 94touring on December 08, 2011, 06:04:30 PM
Yeah I'll go through and start weeding them out I guess.

I'll have spare time between Christmas and New Year to help weed through things if you would like the help.  I'm taking a bunch of vacation between the two.

I just went through and knocked out about 60 or so, thats probably good enough for now.  I bumped up the registration too, so maybe that will help.

 Well as far as I can tell, unless one of you guys has deleted any new spam members, the trickier security questions in registration and activation process is working.  Gotta do research and look up answers to my questions, or have a 3rd grade education, lol.
