De-Spamming

lnxwalt

I've noticed a couple of spam posters. http://forum.status.net/profile/comments/4879/brille23 and http://forum.status.net/profile/discussions/5156/essawq ... is there someone who has moderator/modhelper rights on the forums?

Can see many more by clicking "Activity" above.

lnxwalt

@habi Do you have anti-spam rights in the forum? It can use a little help.

habi

@lnxwalt I don't have any special rights, just trying to help where I can. I'll ask @evan about it.

paulbooker

Are you guys now moderators on the forum?

// Paul

lnxwalt

@paulbooker I am not a moderator. Or if I am, I don't know it yet.

@habi, did you ask @evan about elevated rights yet?

lnxwalt

@paulbooker I just asked @evan to elevate @habi (and possibly myself, but he's more active here, so it is more important that he get it). Evan is pretty busy, so we'll see what happens and when.

habi

I am now able to moderate in the forum: http://evan.status.net/conversation/1385823, but I don't actively monitor it all the time. Please help me and notify me of spammy posts, either by mentioning me here or sending me a notice to @habi@status.davidhaberthuer.ch

afranke

Comment by user frork at http://forum.status.net/discussion/comment/9565 is spam, as well as the three others comments from this profile.

lnxwalt

@habi This is the user profile that afranke was talking about: http://forum.status.net/profile/comments/5228/frork

Also: http://forum.status.net/profile/5220/biltrh8ggas

habi

I banned both these users.

lnxwalt

Another spammer: http://forum.status.net/profile/5275/seeyah

This one seems spammy, but I don't speak the language. http://forum.status.net/profile/5238/thietkelogo

habi

Banned both accounts. Google translate told me the second account is saying that '...is the leading brand in Vietnam working in the field of logo design and regulation of the system of brand identity', thus clearly not StatusNet related...

Gone!

habi

Zapped!
Can't you do this, too? I propose we ask evan to raise your 'capabilities' here in the forum...

lnxwalt

@habi, I'm willing to help where I can, if needed.

habi

@lnxwalt Both these accounts are gone. Additionally I asked @evan if he can promote your account here to moderation abilities...

lnxwalt

massmailservers: http://forum.status.net/profile/5416/massmailservers

As far as I know, I don't have any extra capabilities here.

habi

He's gone.
I'm asking @evan again to upgrade your account here.

habi

The spammers seem to have found a new way to spam the forum. They don't post in the discussion, but in their profile, so the spammy links show up in http://forum.status.net/activity
I'm trying to ban all profiles (and delete their contributions).

@lnxwalt: Did @evan upgrade your account here? He never responded to my notices, maybe they were lost over the #federation gap...

lnxwalt

@habi No, I still don't see any kind of moderation tools.
