Default Inappropriate Posts

Hey guys,
there appears to be some internet spamming going on. I'm trying my best to keep up with deleting these inappropriate posts but I apologize if I don't catch them right away. Sorry all, I don't know how to get rid of them!

I have noticed and have been trying to report them right away.

There must be some way to screen them before they become a member?
Keep up the good work you are doing a great job of staying on top of them:adore:




let's all try to keep it clean!

Thanks Delorian, I'll keep deleting!

I don't have any authority over membership approval, but hopefully administration can screen them or something.

If it is a continuing problem why not set up a probation period.

I have seen this in the past, some one will sign up on a forum and post one post and never come back again.

Good idea, but like I said... I only moderate. I'm not in charge of accepting/banning members.

It isn't people specifically its all bots.. its a problem with a lot of forums. There is a lot of resources online to stop this.

But definitely a good job Jessica.

Yeah, they're not 'members' per se, but bots like alive stated, I do believe. Ah well, hopefully administration can sort this out.
