Ron's Site Suggestions

[RonJ]

Has anyone else noticed the large influx of trolls, bots, spammers or whatever they're called lately? They are new members recognizable by their creation of a rapid string of non-sense posts in threads. The posts generally duplicate text from another post in the thread.

Can the spam software be modified to recognize these new members and move they're posts to a moderated thread forum for review by moderators so that they don't appear in the public forum?

Unfortunately spam is hard to catch without catching regular members as well. We have a few spam preventatives on here when registering but they seem to find a way around them.

Is it safe to say that there's no reprieve on the horizon for elimination or reduction in the constant troll/spammer barrages? Darn.

I was hoping you'd also comment on the proposed message for display in tech forums I posted earlier. Any chance for this becoming implemented? I think it could help get those messages out, which would contribute to improving the tech forums.

You could say that about the spammers. Sometimes some new modifications come up that do help some.

Sorry, missed that other post you made. I think it looks good and I'll see if there is way to show this at the top of the tech forums. Thanks Rob

Looks great Justin. I think it will really help. Thanks.

[Jay Jay]

Yup, not a problem Ron. I also added a note site wide when you post a new thread to make sure your title summarizes your message.

[RonJ]

I just love it. Though it's too soon to draw conclusions, I'm already sensing better thread titles.

Looks really good Justin .

That last update really helped on my recent search, so good job on making the this site that much more pleasant, don't understand why ronj isn't a mod... again, he's just brought good to it and isn't a power hungry a** hole like some would be.

don't know if this has been mentioned, but a chat box on the forum main page, and a like button for posts.

There is already a chat box on the main page.

Like button? Dude, this isn't facebook.

Yeah, you should see a chatbox on the forum homepage. I think you only need 10 posts to view it. As for the facebook button we dont have a like button but there is a big facebook icon to the right of the thread title to send to facebook.
