How long does spam go undeleted on your forum?


What would you say is the average lifespan of a piece of spam on your forum? Do you have a team that takes care of things right away, or does it stay there until you log on?

lol same here, I check the "new user" emails and if anything looks fishy I hightail it to the admin cp and sometimes manage to delete them before they post

Re: How long does spam go undeleted on your forum?


that happened one time with a troll on my board... one guy started off really funny and attracted a lot of replies and offers of friendship, then started heading up a troll attack and I had to sweep all those posts under the rug and ban him. People were asking for weeks why he didn't return.

What a waste. He would have been really popular on my forum if he'd used his powers for good instead of evil.

Re: How long does spam go undeleted on your forum?


what i find to be trying now is local people who sign up and post about their services or businesses for free and i can't allow it cause other people pay for those plugs. so now i have it down to a system that if a person like that posts i welcome them and give them a big link to the rules in a polite way

Tell them they're free to bid on the adspace next time there's an opening and then they can be the one who gets to advertise

I'd be interested to see that, thanks BWorld. Do they have it for vBulletin too?
