Subject: WHAT TO DO/NOT DO WITH SPAMMERS! PLEASE READ!!!!

Written By: CatwomanofV on 04/07/21 at 1:29 pm

I'm sure some of you are aware that there is a newbie section where people have to post before they can post anywhere else. This is to keep spammers off of the boards and I usually catch them before they start posting everywhere else. However, there are some that sneak by and will post on the boards.



WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FIND A SPAMMER!!!


-REPORT POST!


WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN YOU FIND A SPAMMER!!!!!


-Don't click on their links!
-Don't respond to the thread!
-Don't fudge them (it will disappear after I ban them anyway).


By doing (or not doing) this makes my job much easier.

Thank you.

Wouldn't mind taking care of spammers. I mean I don't want to become a full moderator as I think that should be done by native speakers but being from a different time zone I spot some spammers from Europe and Asia earlier than the US based staff.

What not to do with spammers:

- Encourage them to post more often
- Constantly agree with their viewpoint
- All of us give them lots of karma on a daily basis
- Make them an admin

I just HAD to share this one with everyone. Does anyone understand WTF this spammer is talking about?

Thread title: does cialis make you feel tired
With that being said, it makes me highly suspicious, and I am glad you have an appointment to have your dog evaluated by your vet

Some sort of drug, I think. It is often featured in spam posts.

It's a prescribed drug that's used to enhance a person's libido.

Actually it makes sure that the user’s body can cash the check that its libido just wrote.  ;)

Another thing that you should not do with spammers-don't welcome them! Yup, we had someone welcome our latest spammer and asked, "Try not to spam."

You shouldn't encourage them, that will make them write even more.

I'm good with following the rules.  I just get frustrated with the ones who are contiually responding to the idiots, and I know it's best not to call them idiots either, but there's that frustration coming out.
