Vania Chaplin Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Are you sure it is solved? Or they simply deleted the spams and later or tomorrow we will have a whole new offers of cheap L$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting to abuse and griefing must have caused their sides to hurt. :smileyhappy:" - At least no one can say the spammer was "off-topic" there.

rotpaulette Carter Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Loki just said *when the mods come back from week end, they will fix it* and SL said the forum is moderate 24/7 . So if the mods take the WE free, we have no moderation 24/7:smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRavenNest Noe Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 In my "Report Inappropriate Content" message, I told them they should add "Eingee" to the dirty words list, and *bleep* it out. that basically would make their posts unreadable (and therefore useless). The whole point is to get poor suckers to give their credit card numbers, so they can get ripped off. If you can't even get people to your scam website, there's no point to post here. There are more active measures they could take, like checking the forum data logs, and block any IP addresses they are using to post from, but they could have done that months ago.

Void Singer Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 and now you know what proper roles are supposed to prevent.... lol there should be a board and/or topic limit, with no limits on replies to those topics, so a user can get extended help when new, but NOT wallpaper the entire domain.... with no live links or images during that period. part of that ranking should be based on account age. it should be linked to the same IP as well (to prevent immediate relogging with a new account name) any account found to be exceeding certain post limits (think multipl number of threads in a given time or across a number of boards in a given time) should be locked down or forcibly returned to starting rank, and a moderator notified of that automated action (then even if no one is around or reporting at the moment, those threads can easily be yanked) and THAT would work to control spam quite nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Badger Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I am not promoting an alternative forum, but anyone interested in using participant levels to deter spammers might also like to look at the role descriptions here: http://gotvirtual.net/community/threads/a-new-trophy-inhabitant.490/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned 6 reasons here (look for the dotted list in bold):http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Featured-News/A-New-Community-Platform-Coming-March-2nd/ba-p/676016 I don't remember they mentioned spam as a reason for the change. I think the main reason was integration of information that was previously separated & dispersed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Ceawlin Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Having to collect "likes" to get out of probation? No thanks. It could take some people years, particularly if they don't suck up enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Spanish forum, two users are saying that tried to buy L$ from the spammer, paid and never received the L$. So apparently at least two people were hurt in the process.
