Hello, and where the mail admin?

I agree! A LOT of spam is slipping through unmonitored to the forum. I emailed the list owner about this, but have had no response. I'm afraid many will leave the list if this keeps up.

Hello!
What sort of spam do you mean? Spam postings on the forum, or spam sent via PM? Thanks!

We do have some spam auto-detection in place. However, it is far from flawless. Indeed, in the past detection routines have sandboxed postings from legitimate users; we lost at least one user because his/her account was flagged (and hence his/her posts were with-held for moderation) due to action taken by the auto-detection software. As a result of this, we relaxed the spam filters a little. Everything seemed to be fine until recently when there seems to have been an upsurge in attention from bots and spammers. I'll re-tighten the filters and we will continue to seek a happy medium. Thanks for your input. |
