Exclude from Latest Posts

Lukmat · Aug 13, 2023

Exclude "Introductions", when someone come to forum, whole "Latest Posts" is spammed with replies, because someone is building posts. This can be simple set up in module settings / code.
I would even go further, but I don't know if that is technicaly possible. I would exclude from "Latest Posts" Newbies. Only Regular users should appear there with their replies.
Many times, we have some spammer covering whole "Latest Posts" module. Of course, they are fastly removed by moderators, but even posts are deleted, bumped/digged old threads remains.

I catch a lot of newbie spammers in this way, so I find this feature very helpful.

As a paid member, you can customize your homepage by following these instructions.
It's not exactly what you asked for, but I believe it will clear most of the noise.

This would be good for sellers. You are waiting 24h or 72h to already bump it and get visible in "Latest posts", few minutes later it's non visible because 10 users want to say "hi" or spammer added his URL in 100 posts - happened 3 days ago.

As paid users we think also about "Latest posts" in marketing category. We are waiting 24h/72h to bump our paid threads. How we can do it, if that dissapear instantly in flood of non important chit chat?
I understand that other forums have it's place there too, but "Introduction", "The Lounge" should be excluded

That's a good point, but this is the market we work at.
These newbies are going to but from you at some point, and part of that is because they received 20 welcome messages the first day they got here.
Obviously this subforum is really over spammed, but most newbies will feel welcomed and are more likely to stick around thanks to that.
It "harms" the here and now in favor of the next months. The circle of sales, if you will.

Yeah man this has been requested but there are no plans to tweak the home page right now.

Latest posts is supposed to be for the latest posts.

@roydan answered this spot on. If you want a custom home page, follow the live feed instructions he linked to in the quote right there.
