soltakss Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We used to have a little SPAM button where we could report posts about enhancing things, or making things stand up, or advertising things. It seems to have gone. Could we have the SPAM button back, please? 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

tooley1chris Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I erase spam as I see it but don't have access to ALL threads... The boss is pretty good about spotting these and ripping them out about once a week.

Trifletraxor Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Report link to the left of the MultiQuote button should probably work. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjn Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Report link to the left of the MultiQuote button should probably work.I see no such button there. It must've been there before, because I remember reporting some spam messages, but the button seems to have disappeared since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMiddleton Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Report link to the left of the MultiQuote button should probably work.I don't see a "Report link" in either Chrome or IE8 (on work PC atm) and I don't recall seeing it in Safari on my iPad or iMac at home...Cheers,Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Like others, I have a "MultiQuote", a "Quote" and a "Like This button", but the SPAM button, which might have been an exclamation mark in a triangle, is conspicuous by its absence.

Baragei Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yes. I cannot report the above post as spam. Which it so obviously is! I mean, just look at the username - clearly it is generated by a bot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 So... I'm the only one able to report spam to myself? Okay, gotta look into that. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Strange... I'm able to see the report link when I view the forums as a guest. It's not a button, but a light grey link which darkens when you hover over it. Right lower corner of every post, left of the MultiQuote button. Are you sure nobody sees it but me?

No report button.Edit: There's also "Edit" between "Blog This" and "MultiQuote" if it is my own post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickMiddleton Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is it me, or did fixing this seem to act like a rallying call for Russian (or at least, Cyrillic using) spam bots to post?!Cheers,Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trifletraxor Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've just switched the registration to email and admin verification. That will slow down the registration process, but pretty much completely kill the spammers (Except those who registered before the change that is).
