petzl Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Spamming is not allowed in this forum, some "nong" thinks he can get revenge by flooding, easily identified and removed ASAP There is a "unsubscribe" link in spam, USA does not recognise it as spam if there is? If "unsubscribe" link does not work put that in SpamCop NOTES when you submit You can forward such spam to "me [ at ] rescam.org" which is a deranged artificially intelligent BOT that will waste their time replying to them https://www.rescam.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted before in other threads, this forum has made an active decision to have a very open entry for members. If a members identifies them self as a forum spammer with an inappropriate post, "About Me" or "interest", 1) they are sent a warning: Quote It should not surprise you to learn that our anti-spam forum does not permit spam. I have hidden your first post from public view and set your Forum account to indefinitely require Forum Moderator preview before any future posts you submit will be viewable in public. In the meantime, our Forum Admin will consider whether to ban you outright. 2) Blocked from posting without Moderator review or blocked out right. 3) Their post are moved to a hidden forum of just spammy post. Currently 10,032 entries, starting in 2005 4) Of late each spam is also reported to www.stopforumspam.com Currently 1,726 reports. Some unknown number were reported by a previous Moderator. I started reporting spammers daily in September (2017). About 1,500 of the total. It would be counter productive to block spammers from joining the forum or posting; See purpose of "Blocklist Help." With any open forum there is a balancing necessary between openness and restrictions to prevent inappropriate post, including spam. Restricting posting access would block some overt spammers, but could also block those who have had their SMTP hacked, those who share an IP address with spammers and other innocent users of the internet/email. The drawback to open access to the forum is that spam does exist on the forum. I do start hiding the spam as soon as I start my day ~ after letting the dog out and getting my first cup (got to have our priorities!) Although most of the spam is posted over night (MST). Some arrive during the day but I see those fairly quickly until I call it a day. 12 hours ago, kolor said: Why spamcop back me this spam report We may be having 'A failure to communicate' (Old movie reference). I do not see that a report was sent to you. Reports were sent to singlehop.com and cloudflare.com. Have you checked you report preferences?

I started reporting spammers daily in September (2017). About 1,500 of the total. Since I consume this forum primarily via the RSS feed, it currently looks like 98% spam. I was not aware that posts are being moved. Any chance the hidden forum can be excluded from your RSS feed? - fxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I will look into that. I have not looked at the RSS setting at all. However, I am guessing that as soon as the spam post is made it is added to the feed. Do you also see my post tied to each spam thread? post in the order of "warned, blocked and post moved from..." If I can't hid the spam I should be able to hid mine. fxl I assume you do not see post in the "Reported & spam" forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should cut the Clutter in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fxl Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I do not see you replies, but the volume is pretty high. I assume they are pushed to the feed before you get a chance to move them. I have been able to filter some out using Feedly. Thanks for looking into it — fxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 You are correct, just like the three between your post and mine. If I could have found the RSS answer, it would have solved everyone's. For your filter have you notices that most spam have a web address in the title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lking Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Due to a PM questions, I thought bring this old thread to the top would be informative. The current total forum spam is 27, 345 sense Feb 2005 with 36 added today. Those that get to the forum before I clean out the forum spam, will see a large number of post in the "How To Use..." forum and its sub-forums. Not wanting to dig to deeply into the mind of a spammer or their bots, it seems to me that (looking at the <browse> tab ) "How To Use" is the first forum here that a user can post in. Thus a mindless bot (or spammer) post there adv for pills there and move on. Some do get farther down the list. When you see one or two spam in the forum (your unread post) do flag it, I do miss some or fail to get it hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobiBue Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I usually get these posts fairly early and go through the unread posts, flagging the spams first. It does take a little while with a slow pc/nb, but eventually I have a clean slate to look at the real issues, and as Lking said, occasionally I flag a missed one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
