Ftao Mods Category?

[barry1010]

Hello ABEd, as our beloved Mods don't get to see our reports would it be feasible to have a category where messages can be left for them without clogging up CB or other categories?
I am not the only one to have started a thread to bring spam to the attention of Mods when AB Towers is closed and the spam would not necessarily be obvious to them - when it is tacked on to a very old thread, for example.

What do you think?

[ABSpareEditor]

This category is suitable.

[Gromit]

Maybe you need to ask mods to monitor this thread regularly (every 15 mins).

[barry1010]

Thank you, ABEd

[ABSpareEditor]

No problem, Barry1010.

Do you often use The AnswerBank in the morning?

[naomi24]

Bobbinwales also often posts morning threads highlighting spam. All very helpful.

[barry1010]

I'm often checking in to AB from 3am and always from 6.30 to around 8.30

ABEditors: I have mentioned this before but didn't get any response from yourselves

Why do questions/posts in 'Editor's Blog' not appear in the AB homepage 'Most Recent' and 'Recently Answered' tabs? They will only seen (for a short while) in 'Latest Posts' or by visiting the 'Editor's Blog' category. Mods can spot spam answers to old questions by monitoring the 'Recently Answered' tab but if 'Editor's Blog' is used for 'FAO Mods' messages they won't appear on that tab or the 'Most Recent' tab and are more likely to be missed.

Individual threads mentioning a problem, is workable. Expecting an unpaid helper to continually check a particular category seems a step too far to me.

[ABSpareEditor]

Etch, the simple answer is because we don't want them to. I don't mean for that to sound rude, I apologise if it does.

Barry1010, would you like to be a publically known moderator, with the main purpose to remove spam?

[andy-hughes]

He is now!!

[barry1010]

Okee dokee, I promise to remove spam only

[bobbinwales]

Hope your powers are granted soon. There's loads a soam this morning

[murraymints]

the morning threads are completely overwhelmed by spam and dubious "new" posters.. please can you find a mod that is around early doors ?

[murraymints]

4/6 spam right now and has been 5/6 !

[1ozzy]

LOL

[davebro]

Other forums I use aren't plagued by spam like this one is - there must be an easily available solution. Do it!

[bobbinwales]

Even banned spammers boist the membership count and help AB sell ad space.
Wonder if any spammmers donate?

[barry1010]

I'm as sick of spam as everyone else, irritates me at times.

[naomi24]

Welcome barry. I did an early shift today and then fell asleep again - not something I usually do. Another pair of hands will really help.
