Dear Mr. Shawn Hogan , There are more of us - members and not enough moderators . Especially Europe based ones (that's when I see most of the spam) . Please consider letting more people join the moderator team . Spam just keeps piling up sometimes and it's just a darn shame to see that on a prestigious community like DigitalPoint . I'm convinced you already have trusted people that could be good candidates . What do you think ?
There are 16 million posts on this forum, and approximately 15 millions of them are spam. Imagine how much time it would take to remove all of those 15 million posts spam.
OK the spam situation has gotten worst , it seems that spam is ever present this days , there is not a single day that passes without me having to file several spam reports . So please , we need more mods and we need them now .
Yeah, it's pretty out of hand. There's a lot of blatant spam, but also the slightly less obvious for signature links (they don't realise that DP is nofollow and they aren't visible when logged out) usually starting "what is". The lists must be number as one of the spamtards left in the number before the question: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2464198
This is an old topic but I'll take a bite too. After a 1000 or more of us have been asking are you going to add a bunch of mods yet? Some of your current mods don't even enter DP anymore: -We got Buffalo who has not logged in since Feb. -Janstar's last login was May of.......2011. -Katy's last login was May of.......2011 again. -mcfox April 2011. -Roman Dec 2011. -vagrant Oct 2011. I don't want to pick the place apart but either these are all fake accounts and really there's only a few mods here who swap accounts every year or so or you just are not paying attention. Do DP and us a favor?
I'll chime in here as well to say a little more moderation is required, the SEO/Link Devel. sections are becoming overrun and I imagine it's the same across most other sections. WebDev
