Topic: No SPAM removal in the forum any longer?

The content of this topic has been archived on 25 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I'm wondering what's going on... Since days, some spam postings are not being removed from the forum: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=58054

7 spam postings from this guy, and nothing happens.

Holidays of the spam remover?

i wouldnt mind signing up for this particular task.. noticed it also and reported it as well...

I can volunteer too.

I wouldn't mind either.

Whenever I see any SPAM, I just click the Report button to submit the SPAM post. However, like you all said, they have not been removed. Looks like the mods here are still sleeping. wink

Admins are still sleeping / on holidays.

- Count of the above link increased to 14
- We have a new spammer https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=58362

Since the postings are advertising illegal credit card data trading, I really wonder why they are still online.
Tracking the spammers down and saving them postings for evidence? Hmmm....

However, it's annoying to have such garbage in this otherwise clean forum, and even more: seeing that pile of garbage grow bigger.

You are probably right. I have been reporting one particular SPAM thread and it looks like the SPAM post keeps growing.

i have sent kaloz a mail about this, as of today there are even more spam posts and still the old one arent removed sad

I am not sure who the best person is to get attention for this...

Perhaps, the best way to do is just to click the Report button and make sure to include the [long] SPAM messages to get any mods' attention.
