Thanks for the updates, John.

John 05-27-2010 09:17 AM

The changes I described in my previous post have been implemented.

This doesn't mean that GreekChat will be 100% spam free as that would probably be impossible with GC being an open registration site. However, spam from spambots should be very significantly reduced from this point on.

Please feel free to post replies to any introduction threads in our new Introductions forum and welcome all the new GCers to GreekChat.

I'm surprised there weren't more responses to this before. But good work, John.

John 05-27-2010 09:28 AM

Thanks. I hope this results in a huge improvement with the spam issue on GC. I'm almost certain that it will.

SydneyK 05-27-2010 09:29 AM

Awesome! Thanks, John!

AZ-AlphaXi 05-27-2010 09:53 AM

thanks!! I appreciate the efforts to keep the spam down.

agzg 05-27-2010 09:54 AM

HOORAY!

John 05-27-2010 10:00 AM

I'm sure everyone knows, but just figured I would mention this. If not for all the moderators on GC battling it out with the spammers on pretty much a daily basis, we would probably be swimming in spam here by now. Kudos and a big thank you to all the GC moderators for keeping the bots in check! :)

FSUZeta 05-27-2010 04:56 PM

john, thank you, thank you, thank you!! my forum is just riddled with spam, so much so it is hard to find the legitimate threads. this will help so much!

I'll be getting all those deleted thread notices cleaned up as well. The good thing is all of that is only viewable in forums by the mods of the specific forum, super mods & myself. Non-mods are not exposed to the mess of deletion notices and mods do not see them outside of their forums. Some of the other forums were just about literally plagued by the spambots with the deletion notices going on for pages & pages. Anyhow, that will all be sorted out & cleaned up very soon.

Thank you everyone :D Very much appreciated!

AGDee 05-29-2010 09:12 AM

And the Introductions forum is funny on top of it!

ComradesTrue 08-30-2011 06:14 AM

NinjaPoodle 10-08-2011 08:00 PM

Die spam die.

SydneyK 10-14-2011 10:35 AM

Bumping for relevance. Damn spam.

Mevara 10-14-2011 12:48 PM

You know what would be cool, if people could mark a thread as spam. After X amount of people do this then it would be hidden and noted to the mods for action.

Don't know if this is doable but its an idea that could help get the spam under control.

You can report a post/member as spam. It's sent to a specific forum in the mods forum (which you can't see). So, please mark spam asap and the mods will kill it as soon as they (we) can. Of course, there are other ways we find spam but this one helps.

Ah... I didn't know you could. Just looked around each post and noticed the little http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums...ons/report.gif icon. I had not seen that before you mentioned it.

Apparently, you can buy virginal, cunning Uggs from the Wife of Bath if you're lucky.

"The Wife of Bath's tale presents us with women who are either pristine and virginal, UGGs on Sale, so pure that they may be unattainable or cunning and deceitful."

Ah, spambots.

ElieM 01-12-2012 07:29 AM

what is it about sorority recruitment that screams cheap uggs?

Pretty much everything?

psusue 01-12-2012 12:42 PM

^^ I was going to say "do you really want me to answer that question?" KSig was more to the point though.

Woot! I've always said that arthritis was way overpriced and pain is pretty much the same product but half the price.
