This thread was flagged twice ? !
 
Anyone been zapping the spammers for the past 24 hours ? ...seems spam-free for a while.

Please do not flag non-spam posts as spam.
 
Like was done to this thread. It's not funny.
 
This quite literally makes everyone's job harder and makes the community a less pleasant place for everyone. Flagging spam has been proving helpful for everyone. Please don't turn it into a bad situation.
 
We have a log of who flags posts as spam. If people abuse it we will be forced to ban the funny guys instead.

Hi Ryan,
Are there any steps being taken to "un-ban" Craig?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks, I just lifted the ban (oversight on my part from honestly just feeling annoyed people did this).


I'm still researching a better option for everyone to deal with the spam but unfortunately it's not incredibly straight forward.

Yeah, it's a difficult situation when both parties (legitimate and spammers) have the same power. Possibly, designating a few of the trustworthy "regulars" to do the job might work......IDK. 
 
Thanks for "un-banning" Craig.

Suggestion :
1. Is there a daily posting limit .. if yes, say it's 20* posts..
2. Only users with more than 20 posts are allowed to flag spam.
 
Spammers would not be patient enough to post the initial 20* with DAW related stuffs.. if yes, they would probably be identified..and get zapped. And with less than 20* posts, they can't mess around by flagging others.

I do like the suggestion. I'll research it. One challenge is a lot of the forum code is compiled by the developer, so some of the implementation we're sort of stuck with. The more we try to customize it / hack new behaviors into it, the more difficult it becomes to update it. I'll look into whether or not you can enforce who can flag posts as spam.
 
Only flaw is that the people who flagged this thread have plenty of posts and know better.

Thanks, Ryan. :)

Yes, thanks a lot Ryan!
