Could a Mod start catching these please? They have been posting all over the boards.
-
He's been reported...please use the Report to Mod button too.
-
I have reported him too. He has been doing it for 5+ days. Looks like the posts are being deleted as we speak. Do mods even read the boards anymore?
-
Not really sure, I think so, however the mods have other work besides watching the forum from what I gather. I have emailed one of them. If they are getting deleted, then looks like someone is watching the forums. Gaolin's account no longer exhists, LOL. Yaaayy. Thank you Moderator.

Well I for one am sick of the lack of effort D-link puts towards this forum. So hate to do this, but looks like I am moving on. I won't make a huge deal out of it, I just think my efforts will be more useful else where. I will miss hanging out with you guys though. Most of you have my email though if theres really something that has you befuddled. Take it easy.

Sorry to see you go bud, take care and hope you have a good one. Visit once in a while if you want to.

You got to love those spammers! Not really hope they get kicked as soon as possible. I myself haven't noticed them. Been busy with some stuff.

So with further investigation FurryNutz was last active Today at 11:12:41 PM Mhmmm. Two mods out this leaves me to believe you are a ........... I am a good investigator wouldn't you agree with me?

Could we just ban IP's from China from posting? Looks like alot of our spamm problem is coming from there. Im kidding ofcourse, but does D-link intend on taking any actions against these spammers?
-
ipadkeyboard is another spammer. Disregard.
I wish there was a better process for take action. All I know is they do get removed from the system. I'd like to see more action. I do like the NG forums...one thing they do is screen posts before publishing. Needs people to screen though. :-\
-
So many other ways to handle it then screening posts. Here are a few methods broken down into different trains of thought.
First, they could focus on the poster/s. I suspect its one group, if not just one poster. A simple IP ban would probably be enough to make them move on. Or they could actually track them down and launch a complaint with their ISP.
Second, they could go after their ability to make fake accounts. Put some kind of cryptic or other human-only method of making a account. How about making a email confirmation system? Or confirmation of one of their products Serial Numbers? Or just monitor where they new accounts are coming by by tagging a time, IP, and general area. If a Sysop sees 500 accounts suddenly spring out of some town in China, that should be a red flag.
Third, they could control the posts. Make it so you could only make 10 posts a day. Or better yet, make it proportionate to how long you have been a poster, and how many total posts you have. A rank 1 could only make 3 posts a day, but anything about a rank 5 could make a unlimited amount. Those numbers could be tweaked ofcourse. Another thought is they could make it so you can reply as much as you want, but could only create a topic after 20 such replies. Or we could incorporate some sort of Kudos system, where you would need 3 kudos to make a new post. Another idea is to ask certain high ranking posters to be Moderators. I mean they have already taken the burden of D-links responsibility, how about granting them some power to better their cyber community? Most of these systems are already used in other boards, and those are just for hobbies. Come on Dlink, this board actually supports your products. Not only does this forum save your money in call volume, but its a space your could advertise your products and even other people's products. There is advertising space everywhere. Granted, I hate ads, but I hate being totally ignored even more.
Damn, I didn't mean for that to come off as a rant. But those are some decent methods to control spammers. And there mostly cheap, if not free. Online self help support is the wave of the future, and this is core of that community.

Understand man. This has been a really good forum to hang out on, learn and help others. I hate to see a good thing go bad. I also have been thinking of ways to curb and discourage spamming. I do like the new user option, you only get a few posts and you'll be watched. I also think that if your account has not been used with in a period of time, or you haven't posted anything thing, there should be action taken. I see a few accounts on here that were registered however have not posted anything. These accounts have web links to other sites that seem to be in to marketing something. They should shut off the web link feature too maybe. :-\
I think over all DLink doesn't see a whole lot of spam. It's there and yes it could be managed a bit better. ::)
