Eight Pages of this Sewage!

Post Reply New Topic

I tried adding these spammers to the foes list on my profile, but nothing has changed at all. All of their posts are still visible so that feature seems completely useless. And what do they mean by their posts will not be fully visible? Why not just hide their posts completely?

I've made some changes to the code and have implemented some spam filtering that should effectively stop the SPAM. If any slips through, I will be able to adjust things so that it will stop completely.

The constant spamming has made me lose interest here and it's the same stuff anyway I have already posted. I have been busy anyway with life.


I do agree there should be a lot more moderators here. They would be the ones to remove spam.

Is it possible to just limit a number of posts newbies can make when they first join here? Like they can only make five posts in a day for a week? Or would they just keep opening new accounts to make as many posts as they can to get around that block?

Or just do it the other way as someone suggested, have a admin or mod approve the account first or approve all their posts first but also have more moderators.

yes much better without the clutter

I must be doing something different than the rest of you. I lurked at WP for a couple of years before signing up. Took that long for me to be comfortable with the idea. Now I've been a member for a long time. In all that time, I've only had two or three contacts that were inappropriate, that is, they were trying to sell me contact with "honeys", or other sales pitches. I don't see that as a problem. I just deleted them without contacting them, & in one case where they kept recontacting me, I reported them. Problem solved. Except for those few unwanted contacts, I have not had any other people problems at WP.

Are you responding to these unwanted contacts? If so, you are just encouraging them. Don't ever respond to them, just delete them, and in the case of repeated contacts by any of them, report them. Also, if it's someone who knows you, just block them from contacting you.

You are never under any obligation to respond to unwanted online contacts. I don't even answer my Tracfone if I don't recognize the number. I have one incoming ring for people I know, and another ring for calls from unknown sources. I made that ring an annoying one, so I would know right away that it was probably a spam call. I'm thinking of adding a third ring for calls from business and medical contacts. Right now some of the medical numbers aren't logged into my contact list, so I occasionally miss those calls unless I see the number, and can guess from the A-code & exchange number that it may be from one of my doctor offices. I have a lot of health issues, so I have a lot of doc offices to deal with.

Just remember, if you don't want to respond to a contact, DON'T!! !

Noone, from any religions, anywhere, claiming to have magical superpowers, needs me or my money, btw. He should possibly be spamming some voodoo doll, idol, devil, or deity, instead. Some huggable tree or ascended livestock.

bump.

Well its only one page of sewage now. But still. It was supposed to have been fixed.
