Forum locks? - TheNamesGames - 05-29-2017
notfication: im writing this on a phone, so plz dont mind the bad grammar.
This is becoming a real problem. Real posts are drowning under russian volvo car incurance advertisements. Something has to be done. We could report about the account so that the account user couldnt get on other mybb forums or would be deleted soon as possible. Who knows, they micht be spamming inapproppriate conent soon (pics, stories, ya guys know. That kind of dtuff)
Radical idea: lets just reset the forum. Again. This is not nice. I mean eho cares about the old posts? (Exept me and the two other posting freaks)
RE: Forum locks? - deleted - 05-29-2017
I only see 3 accounts that have been spamming. There are 17 spam posts total that were all posted an hour ago. I don't think a forum reset is a realistic solution. There are spam posts like this every now and again just have to let the mods take care of it...

You guys don't even know how many accounts we ban before any of you even see the posts, so don't worry when you see a couple we haven't gotten to yet lol
Also, we've already banned some colorful porn accounts, so yeah.
All it takes is us clicking a purge button and they're gone, but resetting the forums is like seeing a fly and instead of getting a fly swatter using a flame thrower.
Also, "deleted", why have your account purged and hidden if you're still going to use it and post?

And I guarantee, if I looked around, I could ban at least ten more spammers today

Because we get them before people notice them, usually

Tapatalk users get all the spam posts.

What do you see? A notification? The posts should be gone for all after we purge the user.
