  • Links and bad posts

    Hi all
    The number of posts on this great forum containing links to porn, drug and investment sites seems to be increasing daily. This is not intended in any way to be a criticism of our moderators who do a wonderful job (for nothing, not even thanks usually, believe me I do know!) but is it perhaps the way people are allowed to join DYR? At the moment it seems fairly easy for someone to join, make one post containing links to their dubious sites and disappear, perhaps it's time DYR introduced some sort of vetting prior to accepting members. Over at ClubNostalgia (for those EVEN OLDER among us ) you have to apply, be accepted (or not) and only then can you post and they have no spam at all, or if they do I've never seen it. Also we can all help the mods by reporting bad posts as soon as we see them (I've found at least 6 since yesterday) by clicking the little red triangle towards the upper right. It's such a shame that a good site is being targetted like this

    I agree..I report spam every time I come on here.
    sometimes just a glance at the latest member box at the bottom is enough to spot who is likely to post spam.
    What do they gain from it? I never click the links and report it instantly..
    why do they persist?? ;(

      I'm well aware of the situation and am working hard to combat it. We will soon be launching a major upgrade which will hopefully stop these spammers from registering (or at least reduce them).

      Sorry that I can't do this quicker but I work full time as a web designer and in the evenings have two little girls to look after so time is scarce! Hang in there...

          I'll get cracking on the Report Bad Post icon straight away. Nobody's a prude here but we only want what we joined/logged on for, nothing else. Dons, Spi, Remember, etc. you're playing a blinder !

              D'oh!

              Having now logged in, the red triangles appear as if by magic!
