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? Quote |

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. Quote |

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  Quote |
