With all do respect, the moderators on Afterdawn do a great job of keeping the constant spam off this site. At times though, it seems like the moderators are over overwhelmed with the constant spam (like in past couple of days( some screw balls keep posting links to their stupid site). Maybe Afterdawn needs a few more moderators to help delete the spam from the site.

I just do my best to click the report tab, and one of the mods will find it soon enough. I know ddp, among others, have mentiond beforehand there are more spam threads that they get to that we dont see.

yeah its getting rediculous.all the console fourms are over run with spam right now.seems to me ddp is the main moderator and the others barely come on.be much easier for you guys if you had a team of active moderators.
edit: just had a look now and it seems every topic is spammed not just console forums.seriously you guys need to block the spam attacks.fixed my typo from earlier.yes if i type a post before having my 1st coffee of the day its usually got typos in it.

With this spam flood during the last few days I personally wouldn't even care if you'd add a captcha querry before posting.
This is getting ridiculous, can't you simply block all posts that contain the words Live stream? In the Consoles forum in every section the first page contains of these crap spambot posts.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

I've been making a point of stopping by once or twice a day to help ddp out with this problem and I know some others have been doing the same. Like he said, though, if you can avoid posting in those threads it makes disappearing them completely a lot easier.

I login everyday now at least once or twice a day from the other side of the world and check the recently updated forum posts and come across all these crappy spam posts. I have reported what i can but it just keeps coming.
I am wondering if i could be or can we add other long term members of Afterdawn as new moderators to deal with the influx of spam we are having??
Thanks

Sorry about all the spam recently. We've been trying to improve our spam blocks, with varying success. We should be able to do better, though.
Newbies aren't currently (as of today (again)) not allowed to post links. There are quit strict post frequency limits in place as well, but when we're dealing with spam bots creating hundreds of accounts from hundreds of distinct IPs, the effects are less than satisfactory.
We've also blocked anyone coming from a previously banned IP from logging in to the site. This will probably cause some collateral damage with shared IP pools etc, but effectively IP blocks all the spammers from posting again after having their IP banned once.
I would like to thank everyone for posting their ideas and concerns!

i have an idea which may or may not work.the idea is any member who has reached senior member or addict should be able to hit report spam and the thread should be hidden until it has been reviewed by a moderator or staff members.

I second this idea. I feel this would really help cleanup even if its on a surface level.

Actually I've been thinking about such a solution. Maybe not hide the message straight away, but if 2-3 seniors/addicts flag the message, then hide it.
Sounds like something that we should be able to scrape together. =) Thanks!

Does it pay well?
The 'flag-to-hide' suggestion sounds like a good short-term fix to me; something I'd not thought of.

And the "lousy" shirt? If it was the same one they sent me years ago when I started writing for them you'd be shocked at just how nice it is ;)
