Re: Still spamming in QA Brisingr Aerowing27-Jul-12 14:24 Brisingr Aerowing 27-Jul-12 14:24  Reported. We need something here... like a Spaminator 2000! (Note, not an actual product [I think...]). Bill Gates is a very rich man today... and do you want to know why? The answer is one word: versions.

Re: Spam overload lewax0027-Jul-12 7:34 lewax00 27-Jul-12 7:34  Not just there, there's a ton of spam in QA today, like this user[^]. Makes me wonder if the company that provided the anti-spam software that was insta-univoting tons of posts the other day is trying to make their services look more necessary...

Re: Spam overload lewax0027-Jul-12 9:38 lewax00 27-Jul-12 9:38  That's normal in QA, just report the repost, warn the poster, and ignore it. The spam today is extremely unusual though. Re: Spam overload Brisingr Aerowing27-Jul-12 11:23 Brisingr Aerowing 27-Jul-12 11:23  Wonder what system those guys are using. An iSpam, perhaps?

But why not just delete them? I'm sure if I have the rights to do that that most of the people here have that right. So is there any reason why you guys don't delete them right away (which would clean up the questions a lot more than just reporting them) ? Re: How to handle spam messages in QA Jochen Arndt27-Jul-12 5:42 Jochen Arndt 27-Jul-12 5:42  Deleting the message would not delete the spammer's account. When the message is deleted, no one else will report so that the account may be still active.
