Forums might need a "Spam Detector"

The Wick Forums
#1

I’m feeling overwhelmed with the spam that’s everywhere, I had to make a new clean topic to point it out since I didn’t know where to say this.

All Spam requoted here

The spam should be removed shortly (@moderators), till then, everyone can ignore em’

I have a #feature-suggestions, maybe some type of spam detector in the forums would be helpful. That way, people won’t be able to make multiple closely related posts around the same time.

Messages that are detected as spam should be held for review before being officially posted, and till then, they can be shown but hidden like this:

The reason I think a spam detector might be useful is because this might will happen again

you don’t want the pull the same thing he did

don’t you be so foolish, don’t copy bad behavior and dirty my our community

please

@Hamzah_Alani although a spam detector would solve the problem of spam itself
The source is a person (or sometimes a script, for whatever reason).
as coders H.A, we know the simplest of solutions don’t always solve the source of the problem. Nonetheless, a spam blocker would work wonders

Wait did he actually spam on my post? Jeez forums needs to be a bit cleaner but thank the mod that deleted that post :slight_smile:

Ok, so thankfully, I must have been asleep when this happened.

I don’t know if this should help because if spammers aren’t worried about Jovanny, Luxapodular, and literally every semi-active user on this forum for deleting their posts and getting them in trouble, why would they be worried about a spam detector? It can almost become an incentive to find workarounds. And when the detector blocks things that really shouldn’t be blocked, that’s where it goes downhill.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The forum does have some basic spam protections built in, but a few factors allow some spam like this to get through.

In these circumstances, the best option is to report the user’s posts and an admin will get to it ASAP.

Also, this user is no longer allowed to post on the forum as they repeatedly ignored the rules.

Here’s a tip:

Instead of making two replies to say two things

You could’ve edited your last reply like this:
