Here's my two cents:
- I agree with EmoneyABC overall, spam is very bad, particularly for this forum. Given that it is a revenue sharing platform, we have to be extra militant about deleting spam because we are effectively putting a target on our backs for spammers. I also think that negative karma for repeated offenders can be as effective as reporting the post, as users are likely to either appeal the negative karma, or move onto elsewhere. Deleting a post isn't necessarily an effective way of combatting repeated offenders.
- I recommend if possible a "Report spam" button alongside a regular "Report post" button, whereby EmoneyABC would be on the receiving end of the spam reports and is able to delete said spam. Presumably this could be done without having full admin rights, but only rights over reported spam? Basically I'm suggesting a spam moderator.
- EmoneyABC: Please don't use a larger font to make your point, I find this infuriating. We can all read your posts with regular sized text so unless there is a reason for having part of your text larger, enlarging your entire post is nothing more than attention seeking. It's as intolerable as ALL CAPS or making your post bold. Please don't do this anymore.
