Handling spam on forum

<< < (2/3) > >>

BGM:
To be fair, we catch most spam within a few minutes of it being posted and it gets zapped.

This is true - the spam does not appear on the forums, usually.  But it does crowd my rss feed...  I see *all* of them, I think.  Probably 1/3 of my DC rss feed is spam.

Deozaan:
It's too bad that the RSS feed publishes new posts immediately instead of after, say, an hour delay. It's not often that a spam post survives longer than an hour.

mouser:
Another reason to move to a system where first posts from users need to be approved before they show up, huh?
