Got Spam?

[Xuric]

If you find your board, thread, or inbox with Spam, here is what you should (and should not) do.

• Do: Contact someone: Your GM, Araruin, or Me.
• Do Not: Post after that person. It makes tracing down new spam posts difficult.

If you are a GM, here's what to do with your junk:

• If it is a new thread:
• Click the Move Post (Arrow) button on the bottom-left of the view-topic page. Move the topic to the "Junkbox."

• If it is a post in an existing thread:
• Click on the link "You can moderate this forum."
• Click on the thread in question.
• Fill out the box "New Topic Title" with something relevant to the
• situation (Usually I just put "Spam on <board> [abbreviated topic name]").
• Select "Junkbox" from the "Forum for new topic" dropdown menu.
• Scroll down to the offending post, and put a check in the box beside it (or them, if multiple posts).
• Finally, scroll to the bottom of the page and hit the "split selected post(s)" button.

A solution to this problem is planned, so please be patient until we can implement it.

I'll try to remember, generally I just delete it

I thought you knew we had a 'no delete' policy here? It destroys our evidence.

Sorry, force of habit. I do moderation of a forum all day at work, I'm used to deleting single spam posts from users who never show up again. I usually remember I'm not supposed to do that here about 2 seconds after I click to confirm delete
