"Moderated" postings are the answer.

I have an idea!

Post your best Gmail spam!

This one is my personal favorite:


I'm so special I get Japanese spam!


２００９年はどーんとやっちゃいます！

・円高還元セールで、全品2,000円引き！
・毎週30点以上の新作が続々入荷！

当店で取り扱っている商品は、すべてスーパーコピーです

2009 is done and I'm wrong?

The sale reduced the yen, pulling全品2000!
Week 30 and continue over the new stock!

We offer products that are all super copy

roughly half of the spam--probably more--is already being moderated.

My definition of a "Moderated" forum is one where Mods must approve the postings of new members for a period of time.

i dunno if "moderated" approvals is the way to go - i think the time lag would be too detrimental. an automated system might help out - mollom.com has a great service though for the size of this forum, you would probably have to pay.

that said, i think the moderators do a good job of cleaning most threads clean - i had two of my posts deleted and my account banned when i posted a thread about my site offering apps at a discount. it was a misunderstanding but my posts were out the window within a few hours...

This is an old thread. Since it was created, the spam here has decreased by 90%+. Basically, there's a manageable amount now. Of the "spam" that remains, a certain amount of it is actual people (not bots) trying to promote something. Sorting this from legit posts (like Pete's app bundles, which were deleted by an honest mistake) is what's tricky sometimes. Personally, I'd rather err on the side of caution and let an iffy post stay on the forum once in a while than ban a legit user. We're human, and we screw up sometimes, but you guys can help us by reporting posts that look obviously spammy, or pm-ing a mod if you have any questions.
