Spam is hardly a problem at all on MR as far as us humble users see (the mods' opinion may differ). |

Yes, the mods are doing a good job because I don't see spam messages. Maybe I am too dumb to even recognize spam msgs.
Saw my first spam thread in General Discussions. Off with their head!! Last edited by jersysman; 01-31-2014 at 12:59 PM. Reason: Saw Spam post |

I am sure the mods remove a lot of spam ( thank-you)...but does the software do it also? A few days ago when all the Japanese (or Chinese?) spam hit, I reported one of them and it immediately disappeared. So, I was thinking that my report caused it to be removed. This was kind of scary - could someone report something as spam (and it really isn't) and it would be removed right away?

Be assured - we look before we shoot!
Translation: reporting a post or thread as spam does not cause it to automatically be deleted - we examine each one before pulling the trigger on it. The software can catch spam posts too - they are put into 'quarantine' for us to verify their spammy status before they are deleted. We appreciate members that do report spam - and encourage all of you to help us keep this forum as clear of spam as possible. P.S. The latest round of Japanese language spam has centered in the General Discussion Forum - keep your eyes open there please. |

Which is very helpful and thanks for all the watchful eyes and reports. It really does help. There should be less of our recent spam attacks now as Alex has done some of his magic.

Here's what is like to know. Why bother with spam in a language on a board where hardly anyone understand it?

Well... I don't think intelligence is a requirement for spammers.

Good question. I think it just gives them a sense of satisfaction to crowd out the legit posts with their junk, even if no one else can understand what they are talking about.
