Just.
Fix.
It.

FYI, discussions moderators are members, like you.
If if there were a technical solution (which there isn’t), neither Roo nor I
nor the others mods can change the forum’s code.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that while the spam is annoying,
it's not something that I think is a critical issue. I see 1-2 spam messages
per day, they're obvious spam, I can just scroll on by. Compared to the amount
of spam I see in my emails every day, this is nothing.

+1 it isn’t a major issue the only times it has been is when someone did this

What about maybe if a post contains more then 1 url it has to be moderated before
it can be posted?
|
Um. The other catalog admins and I post multiple links in our messages a lot
of the time. We don't need our posts moderated.

Can the same rule apply to emojis?

I'm not so sure about that - for example, you could have a keyword filter
that only gets triggered if the post includes a link.

Yes, this requires a 15 years learning "curve" 
|
So, you’re 3 years late?
| | A report button, BrickLink?
That'd be soooo complicated to develop, I must admit - please don't touch
anything.
|
It’s even more complicated to report problems on the Gallery (which is supposedly
not spaghetti code).

| | | Some suggestions:
1. Ban Nubs_Select, 1001bricks, and SylvainLS from the forum. That alone will
reduce spam by 17.4%
|
Agreed about one of the Sylvains...
But you forgot BrickOfFaith, wildchicken13 and UTLF; they post less but it's
then far more spammy IMHO
Thanks for the laugh, pal!

I like spam. That is how I found my three girlfriends. I have not met them
yet, but they keep asking for plane tickets to get to El Paso. I send the tickets
and no one shows up and they all said it was the airlines fault. So I am ready
to send them cash so they can buy their tickets.

| | This depends on your default settings: with ‘Compact’ or ‘Brief’, the spam
is easy to ignore, with ‘All’ or ‘Full’ you’ll see them… but then I’m not sure
there’s people reading the forum like that

I do, but probably not many more...

Well, it takes everything to make a world
(Besides, what’s the default setting?)
