Can we do something with the chat spam? There is a dozen spam posts for every legit post. As of this writing, there are 14 spam posts, and only 6 legit posts on the front page. Some have been here for a bit. I don't know if others report, but I have been reporting a few a day. But, it is making me want to come here less and less. I realize this game is old and less people spend legit time on here but still, do we really want to allow the spammers free reign?
They all follow the same M.O. New user account, post some completely unrelated text, then put a bunch of links. Why couldn't this forum have rules that a person couldn't post any type of links for xx number of posts. Or, perhaps allow links to YT to show gameplay if asking for help, or maybe to other UBI forums.
I know a few of us, myself included, have offered to be a limited moderator. If you didn't want us to be able to delete post, even if a few of us could simply "hide" the spam posts. Then when you guys have time, you could review them and do as you see fit. If we remove too much over time, then you can revoke the limited admin access.
Thanks for hearing me out. :-)
P.S. I hope there are plans to extend the GE's again. That is when many of us really spend lots of hours in-game.
You do well UbiToon, on everything... We know when you are on the case, what can be done will be done. But, we know this isn't your only job or forum. That's why I mentioned helping if needed. Should we resume reporting all of them, or just a couple to get mods attention? If report all is recommended, perhaps take off the 60 second timer between reports that is there now.Originally Posted by UbiT00n Go to original post
We know you are UbiToon. We also know however that your only job isn't sitting here on this aging DT1 forum eagerly awaiting to click delete.That's the only reason I posted this topic to officially see if you guys would like some help but from the software side that might be hard to do.
Whatever the issue, I always have hope when I see 'Toon' is on the case. ;-)
You can lock this thread if you'd like. Its purpose was just to pose that original question.
