Got Spam?
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:45 am
If you find your board, thread, or inbox with Spam, here is what you should (and should not) do.
- Do: Contact someone: Your GM, Araruin, or Me.
- Do Not: Post after that person. It makes tracing down new spam posts difficult.
- If it is a new thread:
- Click the Move Post (Arrow) button on the bottom-left of the view-topic page. Move the topic to the "Junkbox."
- If it is a post in an existing thread:
- Click on the link "You can moderate this forum."
- Click on the thread in question.
- Fill out the box "New Topic Title" with something relevant to the
- situation (Usually I just put "Spam on <board> [abbreviated topic name]").
- Select "Junkbox" from the "Forum for new topic" dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the offending post, and put a check in the box beside it (or them, if multiple posts).
- Finally, scroll to the bottom of the page and hit the "split selected post(s)" button.
