Kudos to the mods for deleting the SPAM posts quickly.

Chuck33079 · 09-18-2013, 11:28 AM

They're back. Round up the posse.

What is the proper procedure for flagging SPAM? Should I post a comment saying I've already flagged it? Comments in a SPAM thread (the comment will get deleted with the thread), but afraid I won't remember where all I've flagged/commented on SPAM comments. Does it make it more difficult for mods if different users flag a post multiple times? Does it really matter as long as it gets reported?

MyKindaGuise · 09-18-2013, 03:13 PM

reported 3 more in 3 minutes...

wheee! · 09-18-2013, 03:26 PM

This.... is....... insane!!!!!

ka24king · 09-18-2013, 03:27 PM

Ya this is getting to the point where it's hard to use the web site

MyKindaGuise · 09-18-2013, 03:28 PM

I keep reporting...but I have to leave work soon sooo.....lol

Cant our admin mac/ip ban on this forum?

SmokeEater27 · 09-18-2013, 03:48 PM

there should be some type of a requirement for new members to enter their vins in some sort of a verification portion during registering. This way the admins can verify the vin of a new members 370z to make sure they truly own a Z and not a fictional one. And if they dont want to give their vin then let them just stay forum "creepers".. Might be a half a-s-s idea but figured id give a shot in the dark lol.

That might be a turnoff to some, myself included. Having to give up a unique identifier like that may be over the line. I'm all for some type of verification, but not anything as specific as the VIN.

Chuck33079 · 09-18-2013, 04:00 PM

Hell, just make them post something that's not gibberish.

yea it was just a quick idea that popped in my head. Im sure theres probably a way better way to get true verification of a user being 100% legit. thats why i couldnt run a forum because i would probably be the only one in it

Another spate coming in. Mods are getting behind.

Edit: They're gone now!

Trips · 09-18-2013, 05:12 PM

Thanks guys for the patience and help.

For clarification just use the Report button, and post "Reported" so others know its been reported, and WE don't end up with a pile of reports to the same spamer.

Again THANK YOU
