spam filter

Discussion in 'Feedback' started by hoodooman, Sep 12, 2006.

  1. I am tired of deleting 10 to 20 e.t. spam emails at a time.

    So for a start, would it be possible to scan the threads to see if a member has placed the same thread on two or more forums.

    If the same thread is on two forums then delete the second one.

    If the same thread is on three forums then ban the bastard.

    I frankly don't see how it could hurt with the many thousands of members that we now have on e.t.

    All comments appreciated.

    I agree. I just saw 1 new fellow who changed the title of the thread and post the same contents in multiple forums. :mad:

    Edit : If we allow this type of behaviour, then others will start following suit in the hopes of getting more replies etc.

    The person's threads are still all there in multiple forums.

     
  4. Thanks for the replies. I actually thought that my thread had been deleted and I couldn't understand why. I guess that most people just don't care if they get spammed.
