Spam on forums Posted by Lundin on 3 Sept 2009 at 2:58 AM
What is being done about it?

Obviously the captcha isn't stopping it. Is there a captcha when you register as a new user?

This is mostly on un-moderated forums. Looks like I have to take care of Assembler forums moderation.

I could do the asm forums if you don't want to. It's been on my mind for some time.

Only because moderators manually delete 10 spam messages per day... it has been going on all summer and it is getting tiresome.

Ok I'm giving up moderation of the C/C++ forums until the spam filters are fixed. The moderator tool is very crude so you can only delete one post at once.

Again, it is utterly embarrassing that a programming site can't fix mundane anti-spam tasks.

I'm about done posting answers on the C# forum if you guys can't get the spam under control or even answer or give any kind of response to webmaster mails, reports, or whatever -

Is this entire site completely abandoned by its owners at this point?

I want to be a moderator of the Assembly forum, but as i can see, the forum is abandoned and there are many spams!

We are playing catch-up with the spammers at this point, but we should be rolling out some new things that should make this even harder for the spammers.

Problem is that a lot of the spammers are not bots, but people posting manually, which is pretty hard to manage with automated tools.

Appreciate your patience so far.
