Colorado Sage Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) What's with some members touting porn and affiliate shopping in their profile status updates? I was shocked to see a link to 80's porn in the list when I woke up this morning. Can moderators bump these clowns out of here? These members are an example: Sundance_78, beatsbydre, federers, jignSheveKind [edit - added user names] Edited January 30, 2013 by Colorado Sage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted January 30, 2013 this is some kind of bot, methinks. starts an account to post the same crap till they get caught... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted January 30, 2013 The mods erase most of it. It helps to hit the Report button on the bottom of messages to let them know. Its not an instantaneous deletion either. As NAJA pointed out, damn bots, once they have your address they idiotically keep sending. Seems like its been confined to the Confucius & Greeting subforums or has it been spreading?

三江源 Posted January 31, 2013 it would be good if marking them as 'spam' could also delete their messages, but it doesnt, and they come back again and again. sort of like nits or fleas. spam nits. or spam fleas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colorado Sage Posted February 7, 2013 It appears as status updates in their profile, so when looking at statuses in the mobile app you see them all at once. I don't think you can flag them from the mobile app. I'd have to find their profile and flag them there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
三江源 Posted February 7, 2013 You arent able to flag them as spam, CS. It a moderator option. There are skags of spam handles created here each week. A Huge amount. Please dont report them. Nobody here has the time to delete them all personally. The system has to deal with them in whatever way it is designed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
