Another spam user: peritekh.

I have an idea: first 10 posts of new users are peer-reviewed by >=100 post TMO users before being shown publicly.

An "audition" of sorts.

I think notifying other members in the thread can essentially double (or more) the amount of spam, since it brings the thread back up to the active topic and may incite other replies from other members that keep those unwanted topics afloat.


IMO the above suggestion to rate the reported threads with 1 star (thus lowering the thread's rating from the default 3 stars) is a good idea.

It may even be used as a parameter to automate spam filter (If new thread is ranked <3 stars AND member's post <50 posts, then hide or mark the post for moderation).

One resident moderator on a rota shift will keep all of the spam away from this forum providing they have access to all threads.

That with some of us reporting the spam will work but i am all for an automatic system of any kind that does the job too.

What you do is appreciated, but it's not really your job anyway.

This spam problem is getting ridiculous. Will the people getting paid to maintain talk.maemo.org tell us what they are doing/planning to do about this?
