JosvanEekelen Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 <p>Again a lot of spam. Wouldn't it be a good idea to limit the number of posts from new subscribers to let's say one per day for the first month of membership and to introduce a waiting period of one hour for the first posting? Just a suggestion, I don't know if it's technically possible or not too difficult to implement. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSpeaker Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 <p>Spam in the Nikon forum too. Waiting period for new members sounds like a good idea to me.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCL Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 <p>I typically make a copy and send it to Glenn Palm. But it is definitely getting tiresome of late.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 <p>I killed three dozen or so this morning (or was that last night?). Have previously suggested cap on new member repeat posts, or at least the ability to batch-mark all of a new user's same-day posts as spam if an authorized user marks one of them as spam. This is trivial coding, guys. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhbebb Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 <p>Now it's in "<a href="/filters-bags-tripods-accessories-forum/">Accessories - Filters, Bags, Tripods</a>". What the heck is it all about? Is the spammer trying to get someone to open an attachment and release malware or is he just a jerk who enjoys wasting people's time?<br /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
