Can admins/mods PLEASE delete the SPAM posts that are made than them be moved to review requested?!???!!! They are serving absolutely no purpose being in another forum as we know they are posted, and they are adding (as today) up to apprx. 10 extra threads in New Posts that make it more complicated to sort through.
Perhaps if we just have a sticky thread in the moderator forum that states each of the spammer’s usernames, email hosts and IP addresses. I would much more prefer this over the current ‘system’ of removal.
thx.
Your wish is my command! 🙂
Actually, rather than “moving” threads to the review requested forum, why don’t we simply “soft delete” the offending threads? Soft-deleted posts is a feature that became available when we switched to vBulletin forum software. Soft-deleting removes them from public view but lets moderators still see the post. Neither the original poster nor regular members will see any trace of a soft-deleted post.
If you want review of a specific, soft-deleted post, you can post a request in the “review requested” with a link to the deleted post.
What do you think?
