NullHead had a great idea. As the copy and paste shows below


NullHead's quote:
Well, we can all make it easier on a moderator if we go through and report the posts that are spam. That way the posts are all in a big list they can go through and ban/delete posts from one place instead of going through each sub-forum and finding each offending post by themselves. Power of the people will help any moderator filter out posts.

 

If we could get some volunteers to select a forum and take a bit of time to go through the sub forums and find the spam and rule violators that have accumulated over the past few months.

When you find a post that is in violation of any forum rules, go to the top right corner and click on the amber triangle REPORT POST and type in the rule that is in violation
NullHead or myself can help if there is any questionable posts

There is 9 forums.

#1 General Truck forum: w/6 sub forums Glenn In2Trux
#2 Dodge Truck Forum: w/5 sub forums Glenn In2Trux
#3 Chevrolet/GMC Truck Forums w/8 sub forums
#4 Ford Truck Forums w/ 6 sub forums
#5 Toyota Truck forums w/ 3 sub forums
#6 Nissan Truck forums w/ 3 sub forums
#7 Other Truck Forums w/ 6 sub forums
#8 Classifieds w/ 3 sub forums
#9 Racing / Recreational w/ 3 sub forums

 

I'm just gonna do the first page of each sub forum. Man !!! This is a great idea to wake up the Administration
I'm sure just from what we can find on the first page of every subforum will be enough

I really hope it helps. This is my favorite site, and all the spam annoys me.

 

You and me both Danny. I do a few forums and a couple of them I'm part of the staff. But I like the feel of this forum and I like to call it home.

 

And there are actually 10 sub forums for the classified section.

 

Ok, I went two pages back on all the forums I adopted.

 

Well unfortunately right now I can't say for sure I can spend enough time on a subforum right now, but when I see 'em, I report them and have been doing so for quite a while.

But another way to help filter new spam posts, is to click on the "new posts' button on the top navigation bar next to the calendar button and above the search bar. Click on that and you'll see a list of all the newest posts in all the sub-forums on this entire forum. Read and report and necessary.

I also think the forum needs a captcha if the new user registration doesn't already have one.

 

Using the NEWEST POST button is a good idea.
We don't need to resurrect these old posts. Most of those Spammer are one post wonders and have never returned
