BHW Spam

[zaogord]

I've seen people spam threads with irrelevant shiz like amrriage solutions, peepee growth etc.

Why doesn't BHW setup a manual reviewing for the first 10-15 posts made by a new account?
That way, even if someone tries to spam with new accounts, it will not reach the main threads unless the mods allow it.

And we also have this kind of post every weekend. It's even more annoying than the b-a-b-@-j-1 himself.

It's every morning, these guys are from india, the same country as me.
The first thing that i do after waking up is open BHW, and all i see is their Spam.

Just report it. If everyone reports them they are deleted.

As a community if we get good about reporting them they will do away as they will be nearly instantly banned

It's annoying and the mods & staff takes care of them when reported.

It's takes a few seconds just open the spammers profile page, report the profile for spamming, hit the ignore link.
You won't see his posts again.

Just consider it a feature. Every single night for years now. Lasts a couple of hours and then everything goes back to normal.

I do report them, but to make it much hassle-free or much like a permanent solution to these spams, i proposed the idea above.

Setting up a manual review option of up to 5-10 posts for new accounts.
Or make an algorithm which accepts posts which have certain keywords in them.
We could make a database of the top keywords that newbies post and only let those posts go through, if some post don't through, a mod can manually accept it.

If all of that is true than the powers at be could surely do better.

Just use the report button and the staff will take care of it as soon as a mod gets online

 

[zaogord]

Yeet, people just don't get what i'm trying to say.

Report it then ignore them.

BHW gets 200+ new members every single day. Can you imagine the additional workload for the staff?

 

[moonshine7000]

The admin is doing his best just hit report. The spammer changes his keywords often to get past the spam filters.

Everyone knows what you're trying to say and the owner already addressed this https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/spam-control-in-bhw.1087741/#post-11728827

There are almost as many threads complaining about the spam threads as there are actual spam threads. All you can do is report and deal with it.

I believe this is in affect but mods can't monitor everybody, only me

@bassthe whatever Boseman mod typically stays on this stuff hard!

I'm sure you'll never see the same spammer twice

Wow, That is an impressive number of new members.

 

[Veil123]

30% of those are spam and/or bot accounts.

They do this for a point, they are 100% sure those threads will be deleted immediately. But the point is untill this happens within few minutes, it gets indexed in Google. So they want this happens.
And since BHW has a blazingly fast indexation rate and authority too, that can rank weak terms, they rely on that.

As mentioned above. Hit report on the post and it disappears. We have plenty of keyword, spam filtering, stop that B bloke items in place. For the ones that get through we rely on the community.

Restricting newbies isn't the answer. Hitting report is. As mentioned elsewhere. If you're interested in becoming a mod correct use of the report button gets you on the fast track to acceptance.

if a spammer has 16 post on the recent page post will it shut down the account faster if we flag each post as spam ?

I generally see two accounts and flag one post by both of them. If it will suspend the account faster I will take the time to flag every post
