[SOLVED] Has a spammer blocked reporting???

DragonSlayer48DX · 07-25-2009, 10:29 AM

I find it highly unusual that this spammer has posted 6 ads between 2:53 and 3:03 AM, all have been reported shortly after, yet all still remain and are active...

LQ searchid's go stale right after so there's no way to see what you mean. Please tack on details or report one of his/her posts. TIA

Didn't realize that- Sorry. Here is one post. They're identical, but posted in six different forums. And yes, it's still active. They've all been reported, BTW- several hours ago, hence my post here.

unSpawn and I got 4 of the posts, leaving six. All we can do is wait until the mods of those particular forums get their messages and log on to do something about them. They're probably off having lives off the internet, pah.

4 of them left, all w/ at least one reply -- replies apparently made to take them off the 0-reply list.

One had a 2nd reply asking why it hadn't been removed, so I posted a link to this thread in each of them (too much time on my hands this am

) I expect my post count to go down as they are removed, I'll be interested to see if that is correct.

(This is/was post 3,450 -- it's now 3447)

I reported some of them and set them out of the 0 replies. Unfortunately some of them are being resurrected a few times and got more than 100 hits now...

Perhaps jeremy should look at giving all the mods the ability to mark a user as questionable, and block (all) posts until reviewed.
Reverse the situation until proven otherwise - just a thought.

Several of us have advocated what some call the "Big Red Button". The idea is to shut down a probable bad apple and hide all their posts until the appropriate law enforcement gets to the scene.

Now there's a great idea!

Looks as though all of the threads are now gone. Thanks to everyone who reported them - while we do like to get to these within a reasonable time, occasionally some do hang around for longer than others.
