Spam hunters

Not much you can do apart from mark them as spam. I'd be quite happy to remove them, if someone let me do it .

sounds good

people of trust to help the busy hands of the administration,i think

It would be great if the time between reporting spam was lowered. Having to wait 60 seconds between each means it takes ages . It's taken over ten minutes to mark all the spam, seems a little daft.

again more spans

if i can help , i accept

karl is in england, in the other side of the world, maybe when he is in night for me is early morning, this can take more control for the forum (try to control 24hrs), maybe others old members can accept this option, but all depends of course of the moderators

It would be nice if more people could remove the spam. The big issue at the moment is the time it takes to report the spam. As I said previously you have to wait one minute between marking the posts. There were numerous spam posts yesterday (think it was about eight), this took ages to report. I'm sure other people have given up reporting it as it takes so long.

Yes, that's awkward. Fortunately, often several spam post are from the same user, so I just mark one as spam and mention in the report that there are more from the same user. Saves time for me and seems to work. After all, finding and removing all posts of a user should not be too hard for a moderator.

Yeah I've done this before myself, I might go back to doing that. Sometimes unless all of the posts are named some get left behind. Ooohhh well, it will save me a few minutes anyway .

For the spam thing: Would it be possible to remove a post as soon as somebody reported a post? If the report is not seen as valid it could be re-released and seen by others. This would make spam nearly useless. And I can't really imagine a misuse of this functionality as this forum is very civilized.

Re-asking for this feature ... instead I have to wait 60 s to report spams.

It would be nice to change this. I adopted Andreas's approach and simply marked one post as spam naming that the author has posted a few more.
