Forum posting and reporting

gaekwad · 2014-02-12 10:17:56

Related to this post – it appears that there’s a 30 second delay between multiple posts being published to the forum by the same author. This makes sense. However, the delay for reporting posts appears to be 60 seconds, meaning a spammer could (and has) come in, post every 31 seconds and I have have to wait 61 seconds before I can file each report.

Proposal: unify the posting/reporting time delay to 30 or 60 seconds.

Hi

I deleted the posts but i cant delete the user badman.

Hi gaekwad, only admin can grant you the level to delete posts.,

but could you not add posts to spam posts that add a one more clic to erase each post.

Thanks for your help here.

Hi Rabah – I understand, and I am sorry for creating you more work.

OK Pete, you are now a moderator, use your powers wisely!

I’ve also banned the spammer

Ha ha ha google translate is not always acurate but we can understund the global idea ;)

Rabah, your English is much better than my Arabic and French. Heck, some days my English is worse than yours and I’ve had 35+ years of trying.

Hey Pete,

remember! Before you delete any posts report the username or the profile url of the spammer using the “report” button

Absolutely. And thank you for the advice.

Pete, just a small reminder :) Can you please include the user name or the user’s profile url in your reports, so we can delete him? Thank you!

P.S. I assume you already found the Moderation forum?

Hi Els. The penny just dropped. I misinterpreted Yiannis’ advice as to report the post and then delete it. I re-read and now I’ve figured it out. Many apologies. I can recall the user IDs of the spam posts if that’s any use now – shall I start a moderation thread?
