What to do when you see posts from spammers
« on: December 08, 2010, 07:20:17 AM »

The YYN forums have been inundated with spammers lately.  They create false accounts and then spam up the boards.  For some reason it seems they post 3 messages and then move on.  Very odd.

When you see that this has happened, here is all you need to do:

CLICK ON THE "REPORT TO MODERATOR" BUTTON IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE POST.

Please do NOT respond to their posts with something witty.  It just clogs the boards up more (you're just giving a free bump to the spammers).  It also makes it a little more difficult for the Administrators and Moderators to clean things up.

Your help in keeping the YYN boards cleaned up is very much appreciated!

You'd only be 'revealing' your email address to the Moderator/Admin team.  Usually we just take care of the issue and that's it.  Sometimes we may reply just to say thanks, but that would be the extent of it.

So we are supposed to report the spam to forum moderators and then report those who respond (which is suspicious behavior) to Walmart managers who can then report them to Homeland Security?

Hey, everyone that reports spam - thank you. Thank you so much. You guys make it so easy to quickly delete the spam and ban the users. It's a huge help, and we all really appreciate it.

Nah, it's just because it's the top section. It used to mostly appear in the General Forum when that was top of the list.

And as Douglas just said, thanks to everyone that does use the report function, we'd have a hell of a job keeping up without you guys.

just reported another 5 posts.. The spam is increasing day by day :/
Could you lock up the store announcements section or would that lead to a spam of the yyn section?

Would it be allowed if we could slap the spammers in any way, preferably a backhand? Would you as admins be angry?
