Reporting Posts - THANKS!

[Keith Lawrence]

Just a quick thank you to the people who report spam posts to us (click the little roadsign, top right of any post). When you do that an email is generated to all of the Sys Admins, then... the race is on :) It depends which one of us gets there first, I currently hold the record at 7 minutes from spam post to delete and total user ban. The only reason the ones last night took us over two hour were that they were posted in the middle of the night (UK), Tritsan over in Hong Kong picked those up for us :D

With your help we can keep these forums spam free, it's actually far easier for us to delete a post and ban a user than it is for them to register and post. It simply isn't worth their while, the spam doesn't stay there long enough for anybody to read it!

Cheers

Great stuff! :D

Any chance you could sort out my inbox....

OMG I just read that. :eek: - sounds obscene.:D

Can't someone write a programme which we could all have on our computers, which automatically does a search for a spammers PC, and a hand comes out of their screen and gives them a big slap.

No it doesn't. You just have a filthy mind.

You're slacking, you're slacking... that one today took you 8 minutes to report! :) Thank you once again, the user and the posts lasted less than an hour - posts deleted and user banned.

Cheers
