I need your take on the spam topics coming in the forums.

If you see someone has posted replies to the spam "thanks" topics and because of it, those moderating their boards don't delete the entire thread, all these topics will stay here and won't do any help. Besides, it will look bad if after every seven to ten topics, there's a topic called "thanks" saying good website and visit theirs.

So, tell me if it's ok deleting the whole topic even after replies are posted. If you'll agree, the mods can start deleting them. Smile

Regards
Mike

Currently, there's one in the latest topic, edited by Goudah and few members posting in it. I will delete it.

I've been deleting them, except when people replied . . . . I wasn't sure if I should delete since I didn't want those that replied to get confused . . . . But I will from now on . . .

There have been like 100+ posts of this crap!

Goudah, what you were doing is absolutely right. This topic can be referred later if any confusion creates some point of time.

Our team is keeping a watch on the system files and the pattern of these spam posts. We will get something worked out soon.

Just a small update! Smile

Our technical team is working on the spam posts and seems like the problem is identified. We have to do some tests before we execute any programming change. I guess it won't take long to fix. Thanks everyone for your co-operation and deleting the spams right through. It's a pleasure seeing you all distributing the work and keeping your board in order.

Mike
