Hi all,
We've got the spam cleaner in place and will, I'm sure, be iterating on it to make it more efficient but I wanted to humbly request help from users to remove the spammers quickly and efficiently.
Please now report all spam posts you see
. Previously we had asked for users to just report a single post from any individual spammer. Now we'd appreciate as many reports as possible.
Please always select "Spam" as the reason
when reporting. Yes, some of the spam is certainly also vulgar but selecting "spam" triggers the countermeasures.
Many thanks for the help in making the forum a nicer place to be!
Everything reported will still receive individual moderator attention and we will look harshly upon anyone trying to use the system to grief genuine users
(I mention this just to be clear, I'm quite sure it won't be an issue).(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

when reporting. Yes, some of the spam is also vulgar and it's certainly advertising but selecting "spam" triggers the countermeasures.
When I was putting it together, I noticed that about half the reports had "Advertising" for the reason, and I didn't want them to slip through the cracks. So both "Spam" or "Advertising" will trigger the countermeasures. I'd still suggest reporting it as
Spam
, though, just for consistency.

Ah great, thanks for the clarification Erorus.

Darn, there goes my plan for reporting your posts and having the automated moderator moderate the moderator!

Given that you'd appreciate as many reports as possible, will you also give rep for all those reports, even against a single poster?
Cheers.

We will, yes, but only for spammers.

Oh, I didn't know this thread existed. It might be a good idea to make it one of those cross-board stickies because I'm sure a lot of regulars who don't check here all that often.

Seeing as we still manually look at all the comments, any amusing remarks are still appreciated to brighten our day!
We might one day release excerpts from our 'Keep Those Reports For All Eternity' thread =D

Oh crap, I didn't know I was going to be judged by posterity. I feel like I have to step up my game now.

Memo to self, attach reminder to every report for the person who reads it that Erorus is really short for Erotic Walrus until the latter is in common use among staff.

Pretty much this.
I should write a limerick for each report.
