just another spammer, i saw it too
yesssss what do they tell you! - I saw it too.It wasn't just me? You saw it too???
Can you hear the voices???
Probably all 9 posts were spam.That poster had 9 on the counter.
Your solution would massively increase workload for mods... and is not really fair for majority of normal users imho...
Instead they have to waste their time cleaning up the forum.You can look in few ways on that subject tbh...
Not many new users - not much of increase in workload.
or
Few more users every day - times 3, on top of other reported posts, issues with forum, questions from users, moving threads and any other tasks mods might have to deal with along the way - it could be a massive increase in workload. Let us not forget that mods do it for free, in their spare time, which at times could be a precious comodity...
I don’t ever see this spam on the website. I use the RSS feeds and trawl through them adding items of interest to my reading list in Safari to read later. I do see the SPAM in the RSS feed of course but it’s just a single block to scroll through.Instead they have to waste their time cleaning up the forum.
It's not great for the user experience seeing these posts, or for attracting new members. If i was a new member seeing tons of those message i'd probably never of signed up.
Don't understand why new members posts aren't manually reviewed before being published for at least the first 3 posts.
Would stop 80% of this spam.
