Title: Members Can Keep Posting


Alawe - April 18, 2007 01:02 AM (GMT)
I think there's a problem with the Spam Cleaner system.
Every time a topic is trashed, nothing happens to it's owner.
That means they can just post again, right?
Is it possible to add an automatic "ban user" feature to the multi-moderation?

P.S. The latest member's username is "drugstore" :mellow:

Yes, but just because someone spams doesn't mean that they need to have their posting rights permanently taken away. So trashing the topic is wiser. Drugstore sounds like a bot name...

Hi Alawe,

These bots normally just spam one topic and then disappear again. If the staff feels the need to ban a user, we will gladly do so, but having it in the multi-moderation is not wise, as arcalypse said :)

You've got an good idea there, but, i wouldn't ban them just for spamming, i'd give them an warning but.. there only bots, they won't understand, i don't think.

I laughed so hard when I read that!

Anyways, yes. Bots are only on forums to make one topic (most of the time) then leave. And in that topic usually is a list of BB Coded links to places that sell perscriptions, medications, drugs, porn, etc... It is easy and simple to just trash the post and be on with our spam-free lives.

Oh, I see. Okay!
