I've reported a few spams over the last day that have not been dealt with yet. Is the "Report Inappropriate Content" thing broken or did all the "volunteer moderators" that handle those reports quit?
Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I reported some posts in the effects forum. Phil's still around so maybe they aren't going through. I noticed one spammer in particular also had a few spam posts from two weeks ago in the electric guitar forum. I reported those too and they're still there. Maybe Lithium didn't turn that function on because their spam blocker we've been hearing so much about is just so awesome.

This.
The powers that be could have easily gotten these same results (none), without the assistance or expense of Lithium.
But, hey... at least the mods are freed up from handling all that spam so they can better moderate the 22 posts a day that Harmony Central now generates.

I'll have to check, but my understanding (which, granted, isn't very thorough, which is why I have to check) is that spammers just get banned. I'm not sure that the posts get removed.
Maybe I'm just an idiot n00b, but (honest question here) do they have to be removed?

They disrupt the flow of the threads.

Also, there are times they link/point to either:
- dangerous/toxic websites
- may trigger red-flags for the Google-bots.
just sayin, I'd dump those posts like they were yesterday's trash.

This one's been up for five days! Delete it? Nah, might as well just leave it. Someone may want their carpet cleaned with a no quibble.

Yah, I reported that one back when it was first posted. Maybe we should rename this to "Spam World"?
If they can't even delete spams here they might as well give it up and pull the plug

I love how we kept hearing about how great Lithium's spam blocker is. I'm seeing more spam here than at the old site. I also love how there's a whole forum devoted to spam. http://www.harmonycentral.com/t5/Services/bd-p/Ser
