Spammers -- Does the report button do anything?

tareload · Jan 5, 2023

Hey Mods, this place gets quite a bunch of spammers. Do the buttons on here (report, etc) actually go somewhere and how can members help culling all the trash?

Thanks.

Every morning I read the reports. I delete and band all scammers.

Good thing their approach is so poor. Usually I pick it up within 1 to 2 seconds. Great there are no creative spammers/scammers on here.

BTW, this is not a challenge. Creative scammers stay over at TNation LOL.

Some get through even with our spam control option part of Xenforo, the software that we used to build this forum.

ChatGPT still no match for us. We should ask it some questions about nandrolone LOL.

Please, no more COVID and vaccine posts. We will be flagged by Google and lose even more rankings if we are perceived as anti-VAX.

Thank you for your response Nelson. My apology. In that case you could delete the whole thread after the first post. I surely don't want to cause injury to your site here.

As a mod at ATM... battling spam was a daily ritual. Spammers are cockroaches, you cant eradicate them. The best you can do is control them to a point that they don't take over the forum. The sign of a dead forum is when it is overrun by spammers.

I really like your tag line, almost a Socratic Paradox sort of thing..

For my part, as I went away, I reasoned with regard to myself: I am wiser than this human being. For probably neither of us knows anything noble and good, but he supposes he knows something when he does not know, while I, just as I do not know, do not even suppose that I do. I am likely to be a little bit wiser than he in this very thing: that whatever I do not know, I do not even suppose I know.⁣

In other words, Socrates believes himself to be wiser than those he speaks to because, unlike them, he admits his ignorance. This thought is encapsulated by the paradoxical statement:

Yes after being on the forums for long enough better to just lead with that. A variant of what @RobRoy told me one time....readsalot but understands nothing.

When you coming back @RobRoy? So much for us to discuss over at the other thread....

Take a break from your TOT Roundtable videos and enlighten us some more.

All your fans are waiting...
