No, actually I found out about it through the "Report to Moderator," but I took care of it via the "Delete this account" button. Rod, I'll have to clue you guys in on how to use that.ColoRider said:Looks like Venture has taken care of it via the "Report Post to Moderator" button.
I need to check if I have that option. On the Honda Pilot forum we have a button to "one touch ban and clean" which works great!Venture said:No, actually I found out about it through the "Report to Moderator," but I took care of it via the "Delete this account" button.

That's an option as well... my only issue with that is 'a very few' of the spammers spam w/porn and not just selling shoes or cell phone accessories. Even though a member will see that and react fairly quickly... it may still be 'out there' for a few hrs before someone w/power is on the site. The approach we use at STO is a lot more work of course as 99% of the time everyone is genuine, so it's a trade off.ColoRider said:Good idea Joe. We used to use something similar on the Honda Pilot forum and it weeded out a bunch of spammers. We now have a good group of members that report spammers and we clean them pretty much "real time".
I'm familiar with the STO approach. I registered there a few months back and still haven't made that first post. ;DMellow said:If you're interested..... the way we've kept these from the membership at STO is to moderate the 1st post of any new member.
If it's a generic introduction like 'glad to be here' zap!!! not good enough... but if they say something about the bike or riding or whatever to set the 1st post apart from 'something generic' then it gets approved and they can participate. This way, the only ones that ever see the spam are the admin/mods but NEVER the membership.
I don't know much about this software so the implementation of this approach may or may not be something easy to do. Just trying to help.
I better behave myself around here thenVenture said:I believe I just figured out how to enable the "one click clean and delete" option for the Global Moderators.
Yes, I was checking it out in Wally World the other day. They now have all sorts of flavors!!!rem said:Speaking of spam, can you still buy that stuff??? R
