Spam Challenge | Forum

Hi, 


Since Oxwall Germany has been given access to moderate the forum. I suggest we challenge ourselves to find and report as much spam as we can to help clean up the forum.


However to make it easier on all of us why dont we all use the "elephant" method to do this.   


The "elephant" method is just this "how do you eat an elephant?" and the answer is "one bite at a time"  :)


So lets all challenge ourselves to find and report 10 spam posts a day.  This does not take long at all and it will greatly thin out the spam.   


I can find 10 in about 20 min so it should not take you long either.  So how about it folks 10 per day is so easy... 


:)

We got hit hard tonight, almost every section of support had at least a full page of topics and some two pages of spam.  It has all been reported.  I hope oxwall does something about this because i dont always have the time to report over 100 spam posts.  


Make that 200+  i came back later and they must have seen that i reported them so they ran their spam script again and put them all back under a dif name.... gggggggrrrrrrrrrr    so i reported them all over again...
