Title: You Can Help With Spam
Post by: junglepete on 09/06/2018 01:40 PM

Until Paul decides how he wants to, or if he wants to deal with the spamming issues here, here is how you can help. As an administrator I can delete the spam post and the thread will dissapear off of the home page and back into the history where it belongs. However, if you reply to the spam post, then even if I delete the post, the old thread will remain on the homepage. You can help by please refraining to respond to a spammer's post.

Thanks, P

Good Advice --- or is this spam and I just created an issue by responding? :-)

Oh, and of course the more new threads you post (worthy cigar or cigar related posts) the quicker the old threads will be bumped off the home page.

It has been in the works for a couple years but then life got in the way. Starting to right myself again, so will pick it back up again. 95% done, minus the phone app integration, but with Apple killing i'm not sure how big a deal it is, except for Android app users.

Please don't drop the Android APP functionality. I use it all the time. Would even buy a new version if that's what it takes for it to stay working.

Would a Report Icon help? I see them on a lot of sites that helps alert spam issues...just a thought.

***** I see this morning once again another Spammer unloads his wares....this is getting out of hand and needs some more oversight with Mods getting to these spammers and sweeping them out otherwise the word gets out that this site is an invitation to come in and drop their cans of spam.

None that are active. But Paul, (SenorPablo site owner) says it will be resolved soon and he is working on the problem.

Indeed, no comment on the Nike spam so admins can delete it cleanly.

These spammers are on a real tear...so aggravating and this forum is targeted for sure.

The last few days we've been hit each day, but with only 5 or 6 tags so Ive been able to delete them well enough and quick enough. Thanks to everyone for not responding to any of it.
