[Da...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Are there no moderators ? 6 pages of spam ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I imagine it was all dumped in fairly quickly but it is time to take out the trash and block these people from the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 This forum really needs a moderator. I'm not asking for someone to mod normal interactions between users, but I have seen these spam posts too often, and they stay up way too long. Edit: This looks really bad for new users, as this is one of the things that we like to show our students at a Basic Class. Doesn't look too good when the whole first page is nothing but spam.

[Ow...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The internet is like the ole wild west spread all over the world and until somebody can create a system that can quickly identify and punish (small nuclear warhead) the people that do this , it will never stop. 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Maybe a more elaborate screening process would help. These people had to register to be on here in the first place, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 What a mess. Bots have no shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I've made this comment before in the past. Seeing as this is free peer to peer technical support provided by Zeiss customers, you'd think they'd show a little more gratitude and support for the people that help them and save them time and money. Business 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SH...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 My goodness, this should be controlled... there should be a technical quiz before login first time, PCDMIS forum has this puzzle. This can stop this like nonsense..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ia...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Yeah, this is actually embarrassing. I was amazed that some spam posts lasted days, even after marking them as spam. Just give mod to Owen or Tom or someone who frequents/posts to the site somewhat regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Who was it that insisted the old forum was obsolete and said we should use a bulletin board? I said that SPAM was likely going to be an issue with a BB format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Google recaptcha v2 should help. I don't remember, but isn't registration followed by email link approve? If you can post regardless verification, then they should change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 These spam clowns should be found and "dealt with" severely so as to send a strong message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Please sign in to view this quote. Yes, it would. But if they check registrations as thoroughly as they react quickly to reported spam, my hopes are low. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ra...] Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm surprised that we can pay so much for Zeiss but they can't pay for a moderator for these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
