Members AlamoJoe Posted September 13, 2017 Members Share Posted September 13, 2017 I use as a bellwhether whether anyone has replied to these posts. I don't care how many views...If it has a weird author name and no replies I figure it's a spammer trying to drum up business, and I ignore like it was a Congressman.Or a President...

Members 1001gear Posted September 13, 2017 Members Share Posted September 13, 2017 This is also a mini issue. When you pancake these things they must later be "discovered" by someone looking for them. Seems to me this leaves an open account for them even if no one reads the schitt.

Members bieke Posted September 15, 2017 Members Share Posted September 15, 2017 Have you looked at our Alexa numbers lately? They're way up. We've always had to deal with spammers - that's nothing new. yes I check Alexa and the other webstats on a monthly basis according to Alexa, daily page views per visitor is 1.24, and time spent on the site is about 99 seconds, which is slightly better than last month even though Alexa (and other) numbers are up, it does not seem have any effect on forum activity not that many new threads being posted, threads are not getting many views, it's usually the same group of members that is logged on, about 100, sometimes little more, sometimes little less and spam, sorry but HC does not deal with it it's too easy for the spammers to sign up and start spamming even though it only takes a minute to identify the spammers (I always go to the member list, sort by join date and voila, there they are, the daily batch of fresh new spammers (and non posters), unfortunately, you can only see one page of new members, the member list has been broken for years now, otherwise it would be really easy to find all of the spammers another option, is to do first post moderation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
