Re: How to stop forum spammers?

This has been an ongoing battle on these and probably all forums. The forum team has been deleting these posts as soon as they are aware of them. They have tweaked the spam filters for the forums, so we are seeing much less than we used to.

If you see a spam post you can click on the Notify a Moderator link below the post and enter in the text box that you think the post is spam. That will catch the moderator's eye quicker.

Tip: Consider allowing logged in users to view the Bio section? For example, you may learn sth from Spybot Forum@ https://forums.spybot.info/member.php?225-roberto&s=c6cbaca6ea364039aa64...

 If you look at the setting for your forum account, there does not seem to be any setting to disable display of the BIO. If you do not see one, the user did not enter any information for that section.

That is the case for my account. That is why you see no Bio for me.

Re: How to stop forum spammers?

Then, if I drop a link in the Bio section, you or Google will see (index) that URL.

Then, to stop those SEO spammers (see more info below) proactively, Norton Forum should allow logged-in users to view that section. Or disable the auto HTML function... something like automatic link formatting. For example, I just typed www.test123.com in the said Bio portion, then my public profile page will also turn that link into a clickable link. This is the problem. And this is why we can see those spammers here.

I never knew this section was here! I've been busy the past few days 'notify-ing a Moderator' about someone selling furniture in the Tech Outpost. Nothing more I should do as far as I can see.

PS The Moderators acted swiftly so if you want to buy some furniture, it's too late!

Re: How to stop forum spammers?

@Tony: I read your comment. So, here's another Q:

Why did those NEW members come here? To tell us their personal/company web site? Just look closely at those IDs:

  • Member since: no more than 1H
  • Bio: a single link and/or some "personal info"

I kindly suggest that you (admin group) block that section from engine providers - only logged in users can view that info. That's it, and that would proactively stop hidden forum spammers. 

Thanks guys.

Re: How to stop forum spammers?

Hi 20750065. Not sure what your point is - perhaps your icon is a clue. If I have misunderstood then I apologise in advance but your screenshot is the one we usually see when (eg) trying to reply before logging in. Edited at 06:04 to add: I.e. it's a standard error message rather than a security violation.

I'm sure that if I look long enough I'll find threads about it.

Re: How to stop forum spammers?

Hello

I remember Yogesh from years ago back on the old platform we used to use. I haven't seen any other Volunteer's other than him. He used to post sometimes and helped us out sometimes. I'm guessing his profile is usually hidden except for when he makes an appearance. I didn't think he was around any more since it's been many years since I saw him last in the Forum.

Thanks.

i think now their support has very much improved , as only last month i had a conversation with them and they clearly explained me my whole issues, after that i got my subscription renewed and without any problem, and iam happy with that, as case of slimdrivers dear nothing is free these days and what claims to be free is basically a trap for payments in future. at least in this case i must say that driver restore is genuine they dont market their product as free as you can see clearly on their site
