Spam, Spam, Spam

WTF is with the stupid posts about a link to watch some dumb sporting event. Since according to a previous post, this is “our” web page. I’d like to do something to get rid of them. Sadly, I don’t know how to do it.

I sold your forum location to the spammers for $5.

Agree. Is there a way to delete or hide posts by rtjutyuiuik and their friends, or even ban them?

They’ll just keep coming back in the middle of the night with new accounts. I think someone had to be given rights to watch the gate, as I believe Tim did before he moved?

Hi y’all. Henry and I both have the metaphorical keys as your forum moderators. There have been a few threads about SPAM recently, and I have been aggressively moderating new registrations and banning users who post SPAM content, but as drevil notes, they’ve been registering at night, and over the weekend, when moderators are less active, and it’s tough to keep up with click farms.

We’re in the process of moving to a system where newly registered users will not be able to post without their content being reviewed by a moderator within one business day. This would stop current users like yourselves from seeing SPAM, and would hopefully only be a minor inconvenience to brand new users.

Thanks for being part of the forum, and making all the awesome conversations about biking happen. Keep doing your thing, and know we’re working on it.
