I moderate at many forums and this will send an email direct to moderators and administrators.

I agree that these post that have nothing to do with the thread need to be removed. If they want to support the site by advertising then that would be most welcome. ■

I have done this many times.

In the recent past , the unwanted & irrelevent messages are increasing.

this has got to STOP

Just joined today and 16 posts of spam in just of few minutes and in Chinese.

Please start banning these useless spam artists. ■

Gary,

Thanks. We ban 5-15 each day; today there were more.

The alternative seems to be that each post is moderated,. i.e. approved or deleted. This also seems impossible due to the many posts which come in each day. We do this with the Bulk Blog, but this has much less traffic.

Bear with us!

Designer,

Thank you.

Yes, this would be a possibility. But being a Moderator is not a real dream job!

Perhaps we can find volunteers. At the moment most spam is coming from PR China.

Thanks for your support.

I would be more than happy to volunteer as a moderator to help rid the forum of spam.

I PM'd you on just that idea. I have experience moderating on numerous forums.

And I am quite familiar with vBulletin code syntax.

I would recommend that spam or inappropriate posts found by a moderator be placed in moderation or moved to a "JUNK" thread only viewable by moderators and you the administrator. Then as time permits they can be weeded out by complete deletion or if agreed by you moved back to the public forum for all to see. ■

Me too.

This forum is very informative and I am checking in every day, so I also offer myself to moderate and remove spam messages. ■

Ironically, the spam pours in from China, but I don't know a lot of companies web sites that are permitted to be displayed there because of government restrictions. Very frustrating! ■
