Forum Robo-Spam

[Tom.]

isn't there some sort of Craigslist style "flagging" system, where if enough users report the post, it goes away?
not trying to take anything away from the moderators, just wondering if perhaps there's an easier way to solve this?

There is a spam thread in Photoshop & Media. Most recent post in that subforum, but its been at the top since yesterday

A decent amount of spam has been accumulating in the megasquirt/alt tuning subforum since monday.

Is it getting worse? I can say I'm tired of flagging the crap.

If only we could get rid of that 1 min timer...

Alternative Tuning / W.A.R / Megasquirt / etc is swamped with spam threads. 15/20 are robo spam on the first page alone.

We should have an intro/bio forum where we can accept new members, or flag them.

AKA, write a sentence about why you want to join R3v. Have it in a forum where anyone already registered on r3v can click a link and activate the new member. If they are spam, we can flag it.

I doubt a spammer will write a coherent sentence about e30's.
