spam cleanup?

[kelsey]

@kelsey weird now my account is labeled a spammer :(

Weird side affect… :/ :(

I flag posts as spam when I see them. I think @Wellenreiter has to delete them. Not sure why your account is flagged.

@amdd I dont think wellnereiter has been around for a few days. Really a lot of the admins have been on hiatus for a while. I have some forum moderator rights, but have never really needed to use them. We’ve gotten fairly little traffic since i got them. I was going to leave the posts to wellnereiter as I figured he had a way of cleaning up everything done by the user and banning the account in one fell swoop.

After a day or so the person started posting more. I didn’t want to wait and watch it get worse. So, I went ahead and started digging in to each thread and deleted the posts i could. but i’m just a moderator and I dont really have the rights to do what needed to be done (also a few of the forums I dont have delete rights on).

Hopefully, he or one of the other admins with the rights needed pop on here today or tomorrow and finish what i started.

Sorry Gentlemen, I was visiting Friends during the week end.
@kelsey: I have removed your spammer flag, it was definitively wrong. ;)
normally members get flaged as spammer, when their reputation becomes negative.

I try to check the forum every day, but didn’t do it for 3 or 4 days now, sorry

[Wellenreiter]

I have deleted the spammer’s account

@wellenreiter thanks though from my screen i’ve still got the red spammer label :(

[Wellenreiter]

@kelsey yes, it came back… strange
I’ll check

[Wellenreiter]

I found the problem.
for some reason rule for adding a user to the spammer group was reversed.

I fixed that now

The spammer label should be gone for you or gone after your next post

[kelsey]

cool lets see if posting fixes it :)
