vShock joined today and is already spamming, i have reported 4 of his posts so far and qole is online so i wonder if he will pick it up and deal with it?.
All it takes is one. It's broadcast to all moderators. I like the idea of the reporter notifying other members in the thread but Reggie and others disagree.
I think notifying other members in the thread can essentially double (or more) the amount of spam, since it brings the thread back up to the active topic and may incite other replies from other members that keep those unwanted topics afloat.
IMO the above suggestion to rate the reported threads with 1 star (thus lowering the thread's rating from the default 3 stars) is a good idea.
It may even be used as a parameter to automate spam filter (If new thread is ranked <3 stars AND member's post <50 posts, then hide or mark the post for moderation).
sorry I am unable to do much; at an Intel conference
What you do is appreciated, but it's not really your job anyway.
This spam problem is getting ridiculous. Will the people getting paid to maintain talk.maemo.org tell us what they are doing/planning to do about this?
