Spambuster Mods

[Isoverity]

I once ran a forum on V2 with just enough privileges to edit and delete threads. I couldn't do much else. Why not make some SPAM deputy mods who are basically SPAM busters.


If there's something strange in your forum
Who you gonna call? Spambusters!
If there's something weird and it don't look good
Who you gonna call? Spambusters!

[The War Doctor]

Not a bad idea, at least until we get that other suggestion (about imposing a minimum post count to be able to post links) up and running. Count me out though, I want no part of that job. :P

[Pi.R^2]

I suggested this the other day, and believe the answer was that it would be difficult to give anyone the appropriate powers without them being able to see ALL the modly things and do ALL the modly powers

[Isoverity]

Too bad - I was able to do it on V2
We need an army - an army of spambusters.

[offlineforever]

complete with uniforms and title sequence I hope?

[Isoverity]

Nice touch - "Spam Inspector Colbert" has a nice ring to it. Uniforms might be expensive at this time but a badge is doable

[Mandimoo]

If the person had been here long enough maybe they could be trusted with having powers but not using them? I wouldn't mind being a spam removal officer lol, how about a system where if 5 or more report it as spam it gets deleted

[griddlebone]

Its not a case of having powera and not using them.....its about not having access to sensitive information about other members.if the spam issue waa in chat it would be fine because i can give people powers without allowing them forum access.

Its just something we all have to be patient about.

Im also unsure what you mean about it beinf reported 5 times.....we are usually aware of what spam is and we delete it as soon as we can.....if it was a xase of PRing threads 5 times for deletion i could invisiom lots of threads being deleted for no reason

[Isoverity]

"ts just something we all have to be patient about."

We are - and the spammers are winning lol.

I'll bet the resident code Mages here can do something. They are geniuses. Don't let them fool you with their mysterious nature ; )

[Mandimoo]

I could have just deleted 8 threads and counting whilst all the mods are offline, the troll is still online so who knows how many you'll have to delete when you get on. I'm repkyokng 'reported' underneath so a)I can keep track of what i've reported and b) so others know it's been reported so hopefully you don't end up with thousands of PRs

[Snow White.]

If two users report the same thread then it goes into the same reported-post thread, so that part isn't really a huge hassle I don't think, it just means a bit of scrolling.

I agree with Liv that we just need to be patient, unfortunately as annoying as it is. It's just a pain because it builds up when the moderators are not online but when one pops on they are very efficient at removing it.

It might be something James could look into, he has helped us with spammers in the past.

[Isoverity]

"It's just a pain because it builds up when the moderators are not online"

One reason the SPAM posts are so unintelligible/peculiar is because they run them through translation apps. They probs originate from Eastern Europe somewhere. They are known for forum spam

[griddlebone]

Basically, we cant give anyone extra powers,however tempting it s. This would be a lot easier if there were more mods,but there arent so we do what we can. However annoying it is we understand, it stops us from doing our job and makes it incredibly frustrated.

[Isoverity]

Nice siggy pic Griddle (and its getting to be that antler time of year lol)

[griddlebone]

Thanks pickle. Ah the antlers are in my profile ;) x

[Snow White.]

Liv to the rescue! Thanks dear :)

That. However, it might be an idea to consider new mods.

[griddlebone]

We already are.

[Isoverity]

When Ruin Your Life became Recover Your Life and a new site was opened (in 2004) there was often one mod on most of the time - Linda MomofCutter/Angel Voice. What a zoo that was - trolls were all over the place. Harley did a good job cleaning that up eventually. RYL versions are like Star Wars movies to me now lol

[Mandimoo]

I still speak to Linda on fb and she's coffee addict or something now, she occasionally pops up with an update

[midnightphoenix]

We already are.

I thought you couldn't get any more staff because that was Harley's department or something :notsure:

There again what do I know :notsure:

[griddlebone]

No,we are choosing moderators but we usually ask for Harleys opinion. There are other things preventing us from having new mods that Im not going to divulge,but hopefully it will be sorted soon.

[GlitterTrashDoll]

Fingers crossed things fall into place soon (whatever they are!) - it will make things a lot easier for you guys.

[griddlebone]

Yus,hopefully!its a headache and a half at the moment.x

[GlitterTrashDoll]

I can imagine!

[Mandimoo]

Over half the online members are uggboots-related spammers.... i'm itching for a button to press 'exterminate'

[midnightphoenix]

I wish there was a button that would automatically delete all the spammers - make the mods jobs a lot easier

[Mandimoo]

Yeah or limit posting links until you were above say 20 posts, might put 'em off.

[griddlebone]

Ive also had a number of PMs from various members about spammers....can you please PR instead?its difficult for me especially because im getting chat mod stuff PMd to me too and thats my priority PM wise...thanks.x

[Mandimoo]

We can't pr until they posted the spam.

[griddlebone]

Well then email the mod inbox please.

[midnightphoenix]

griddlebone how do we email the mod inbox?

*is probably being thick*

Or alternatively could there be a section where we can post spammers names so whoever is available can get the spammers before they spam?

[griddlebone]

Moderators@recoveryourlife.com

[midnightphoenix]

Oh sorry griddlebone I was PM-ing you as you were posting in this thread :ermm:

[griddlebone]

No problem!x

[Killer Queen]

When Ruin Your Life became Recover Your Life and a new site was opened (in 2004)

Bwuhh?

[Isoverity]

Bwuhh?

The RYL you are on is the third version of it. The first one was located on a site with lots of forums and called ezboards. The Title of that RYL was "Ruin Your Life" and not "Recover Your Life". The name was changed when the second version of RYL was created independent of ezboards - and with a new formalised, therapeutic perspective. "Ruin" was more exploratory and had a lot of "give" (there was even a collection of SI photos on site - scared more than a few people into getting more serious lol). It had a dimension of self-investigation and discovery. "Recover" version 2.0 was more structured. That's when more forums with more labels came into being, and people were segregated into various niches. RYL 3.0 (this forum) escalated that trend. Ruin had problems and had to change but I think it was more effective in ways before the bubble wrap stuff got layered on over the time.

[Pops.]

ezboards. I was a member of a self harm site on there, but I could never remember the name of it properly. It was a busy one though. I wonder if it was ruin and I never realised. I know this is totally irrelevant to the discussion, sorry. *wanders off*

[Isoverity]

Well there were a lot of SI forums on there - actually a lot of all kinds of forums and I missed that. One SI forum I recall was "Scar Tissue". Evey couple weeks people would try their own forum on ezboards so they kind of all ran together in my head after awhile lol

[not_so_insig]

One SI forum I recall was "Scar Tissue".

Scar Tissue is still going. I have an SI awareness keyring with their website address on. I would have bought an RYL SI awareness keyring if they did them.

I have never joined their forums because they dont have a diverse range of forums as here.

[Isoverity]

Scar Tissue is still going.

Glad to heat it. I used to go there sometimes when it was on ezboards. It seemed too different when it moved but I could be wrong about that since I was a light visitor. Nonsuchsolo used to go there a lot I think (was Wolfbane another?). I remember it as a women's forum mostly

[effervescence]

I know you can't, but it would be great to not have the 60 second lockout - it's a long time to wait if you want to PR a whole list of threads!
I know you're working on new mods but maybe one or two in a different timezone to the majority (UK) would be helpful - I'm often on at different times to you and live forum help etc and most members are offline and the spam just builds up...

[Mandimoo]

I'm often on at stupid hours I tend to sleep 7.30pm until 4am so i'm usually about when they start posting at 5-6am

[Amaryllis]

[effervescence]

Yeah I know there are some, but maybe more, particularly in the Australia/NZ timezones. Plus it would be nice for the UKers as by the time they wake up, spam would be gone and they'd never see it.

[SavingGrace]

Totally agree! Down here, we are often filled with spam during the day before the mods come on from and I'm like delete! oh, we can't... :blink:

Poor mods, a page of spam when they wake up. :(

anywho, yes, I agree with above post from eff.

[Isoverity]

Check out the "users who have visited in the last 24 hours" feature. The amount of names is HUGE. Easily double if not triple what is usually is. It wasn't like that just a few days ago

[SavingGrace]

I did that the other day and I was like.. WHOA! Not normal!
BUT! Harley is on that list :shocked:

[Snow White.]

Wow... that's terrible!

[Mandimoo]

He could have been doing something specific

[Isoverity]

I randomly clicked on about 2 dozen accounts (avoiding people I knew) and almost all of the accounts listed had no posts. Its like a spammy apocalypse

[Mandimoo]

I did it with just those online the other day, there were over 14 online, pretty much everyone whose name made no sense/was random letters or had ugg in the user name. Can you ban the term ugg from user names?

[Cacoethes]

Uggs should be banned full stop :/

[Cacoethes]

Unless they are at discount prices....

[Mandimoo]

And you know what it's made from ie not racoon dogs skinned alive in china

[Amaryllis]

I think it's funny that so many people were volunteering to be mods here when the mods here get treated like ****.

[griddlebone]

Ah Ama its that way with everything,no one knows how bad the job can be till they do it :P x

[Amaryllis]

Man, if I said the things that have been said to me....

I'd get points for SURE. Enough points to get banned for a bit.

Fools.

I hope I'm not one of the ones treating you mods or anyone else badly :ermm:

Sending you mods massive hugs and large slices of cake each :rose:

[effervescence]

I think it's funny that so many people were volunteering to be mods here when the mods here get treated like ****.

I'm thick skinned.

Argh but seriously the amount of spam in GC is starting to actually really piss me off.....I go to read a new post in a thread only to find it's 4 or 5 posts of spam - not even different spam usually just the same **** repeated. Gah!

[griddlebone]

Its pissing everyone off

[midnightphoenix]

Griddlebone I think it is possible to set spambuster mods up so they can't see sections you don't want them to see - I think you do it in the admin control thing - set the group then I think you can mark out somewhere what they can see and what they can't ;-)

[griddlebone]

It isnt something that is going to happen,thats not how the control panel works.

[Mandimoo]

I've been a mod elsewhere I know the rubbish you put up with, I don't mind it, thick skinned see

[Isoverity]

Who ya gonna call?
Spammymandimoobuster!

[SavingGrace]

*disclaimer*

I in no way intended to sound like I was ungrateful for you lovely Moddlies and you power and know you get the shiity end of the poo stick! And entirely not your fault that we people who get up when you are going to bed have people spamming then! You all have lives and other things to beside sitting on RYL 24/7 deleting spam! =) That would just be cruel.

And I'm not volunteering to be a mod and know its a big deal to be made one with all the power and horrible things directed at you all.

But for the record you guys are doing an amazing job dealing with all the spamming retards!

[The One Who]

Stupid question incoming:

Harley is around (sometimes), as his Tony (who, if nothing else could suggest to him that he do something). Harley is probably the only one who can secure the site a bit better so that the spam would decrease. Bug him enough until he does something? Or finally gives up on the site and hands it over to someone else?

[PaperKlip]

Is it bad that I hadn't noticed the spam until SavingGace pointed it out to me....

I just never click threads with titles that don't make sense.

[effervescence]

They are also posting in pre-made legit threads, so it looks like real people have commented on threads you've commented in, and you get all excited to see who's offended this time by what you've written (lol) and you find, to your rage, that a spambot has just filled a whole page with like 4 or 5 repeated chunks of bullshit. Grr.

[effervescence]

Harley is around (sometimes), as his Tony (who, if nothing else could suggest to him that he do something).
Perhaps PM Tony and see if he can talk to Harley? Since Tony is often around GC lately.

[griddlebone]

Harley is already trying to fix it.

[Taliesin]

Currently 21/35 threads on page one of the general forum are spam. I hope Harley is successful.

[Rhuben]

Unfortunately XRumer (the software being used to post the spam) is really annoying to try and block. It's now able to defeat things like CAPTCHA and simple questions like What colour is the sky? Allowing it to continue registering accounts and spamming. So many technical methods are ineffective.

Another forum I moderate on we've resorted to IP blocking everyone from outside the UK, however it only lasted a couple of days before the spammer configured a British proxy in order to keep posting. It's absolutely infuriating and I feel sorry for the Mods and Harley because I know from personal experience how difficult it is to keep up with the sheer volume of crap that's being posted.

One method could be to ban any newly registered members with less than 15 posts from posting threads containing links, or make it so they enter a pre-moderation queue. whilst it wont stop the spam completely it would slow it down somewhat.

[Isoverity]

I have seen sites with newbie forums that are like "sandboxes" in that new members can only post in that forum until they get a post count up. All I know is there are gobs of new accounts this week and the spammy apocalypse is really intensifying.

[griddlebone]

My computer is not happy so im on ryl on my phone so i cant delete threads....eep!x

[Taliesin]

My computer is not happy so im on ryl on my phone so i cant delete threads....eep!x

Dunno if it was you or someone else, but the 20-some posts in general seem to have been taken care of. Thanks! :)

[talaiporia]

Not for forum mods, you're picked by the existing mods.
Most of the other staff teams allow you to put your name forward, but generally new members are picked by the current teams.

I think Liv mentioned on the last page, they are already considering new mods, but it's a long process and doesn't just happen overnight. It's also been mentioned that Harley is looking into this, but it still can't just be fixed instantly.

[FabulousMike]

Spam, Spam everywhere.

I hope the mods are enjoying :P

[Mandimoo]

The first aid team have mod powers, is it just in the faa forum or can they/are they able to lend a hand?

[talaiporia]

The first aid team is one very very overworked member, who is doing her best just on FA forum...

The mods are doing their best and moving as fast as they can, but the spam is relentlessness. Harley is looking into it, but it takes time.

[Pops.]

It sounds like for now, we're all just going to have to rally together as a team and let the mods know we appreciate all of the efforts that they are putting in to getting rid of the spam, as well as all of us just sticking two fingers up to it and ignoring it the best we can. Doesn't sound like much all else we can do, apart from post report when required, and hope that Harley figures something out soon.

[midnightphoenix]

Out of interest, how does somebody become a mod? Can I volunteer? At the moment I am finding the level of spam is putting me off coming here. I know the team here are doing their best, and I don't mean it as a criticism ... I just find it distressing is all :sad:

It is distressing and it doesn't help my OCD because I want to delete all the spam myself but can't :(

[griddlebone]

I dont know why people are ignoring what Im saying and posting the same things over and over, its incredibly rude to just ignore what I have said simply because its not the answers people want.

We will not be giving members mod powers, for one thing they will be able to see the mod boards. They will have ALL the mod powers not just the ability to delete things and what about if someone decides to just start randomly deleting threads or abusing their powers?

We have a list of people we want to make moderators, however their are reasons that they have no been made mods yet. Even if we did have a whole new batch it takes time for us to train new people up,something we are all short on right now.

It is not the FAAs job to delete threads,they have their own jobs to do, that would be the same as me drafting in chat mods to delete threads....not their domain either.

The amount of spam actually isnt that big at the moment. Today I thought there was loads to delete, but it turned out to be one person posting 61 times an once those were gone there was no more spam.

I dont even want to get into it affecting mental health, honestly I feel like I will be really rude. You just have to look at it, you dont have to spend time and time again deleting walls of spam on a million threads, complaining about it is just making it worse.

Harley is trying his best to fix it, we have been emailing him daily and he has been trying but its not as simple as some people seem to think.

This negativity just makes it a million times worse. We all have other things to do on RYL, I havent done anything to do with the chat mods for ages, because I come on here, read at least 10 PMs a day complaining about spam, fix that and then Im done. Members from this site who I dont even know have been finding me on facebook to message me about spam, how ridiculous is that? My life outside of this website is not a free for all for people to contact me about spam.

I know that people arent criticising us, but it feels like that.

If nothing else, please take it what I have said because Im not saying this for my own amusement.

[midnightphoenix]

Sorry griddlebone

[Stellata]

If it's any comfort, it's not just here.

I've tried to join 3 different forums this week [non MH related], and am still waiting for an admin to activate my account. Because these forums no longer allow immediate activation via email because of spam. It sucks, as I'm missing out on what those forums might have offered me. So yeah, at least your members here, and RYL still allows immediate membership registration activation.

[Mrs Sam]

Holy spam buster there is spam everywhere! Whoever these new spambots are they're pretty good!

[Bleeding Angel]

Thought id stumbled onto some dodgy website for a few seconds there.

[Gone.]

Spam's like in EVERY thread tonight!

I hope that something's sorted soon! The Spambots are infuriating.

[talaiporia]

Harley's online, and he's been around a lot the last few days, so I guess he's looking into it.

[Leo Pard]

Liv, I'm just gonna waltz in and say what a wonderful job you guys do and definitely think that mods need to be appreciated a whole lot more. It's not easy, you get loads of hate and everyone complains to you all the time about stuff so yeah. Well done. Keep it up.
Also, in reference to the spam, it's pretty easy to spot threads that are just spam so just don't click on it?

[Leo Pard]

Also, what Panda said.

[not_so_insig]

I have just had a spam pm, who do I report it to?

[SilentBoy]

I have just had a spam pm, who do I report it to?

Forward it to a mod

[not_so_insig]

Forward it to a mod

Could you give me the names of a suitable mod (ie not a chat mod) because as far as I can see there arent any online.

[The One Who]

Either forward it to Liv (Griddlebone), or Cam (random.swirls), as they seem to be online most often.

[not_so_insig]

Thanks!

[effervescence]

Members from this site who I dont even know have been finding me on facebook to message me about spam, how ridiculous is that?
My god - that is completely out of line and totally unfair and ridiculous!
I'm sorry that is happening to you and the pressure you are under because of the behaviour of these spammers.

All the spam is now long gone
And the site is here to stay!

That's truly beautiful Louise. So inspiring that I cannot resist.

O Come, ALL ye faithful,
Spambots with thy ugg boots,
O come ye, o come ye, to R-Y-L
Come, try to spam us
Show us what you've go-t

Harley will destroy you,
The mods will destroy you,
Well all will destroy spa-am, then have a BUFFET.

Not my finest work, I know. And buffet doesn't really fit, but never mind.

Spam he removed, without a stain,
Peace in general,
No more trolls,
Uggs and links and all those LOLs,
Joyful now the mods will be,
Hail the spambuster deity,
Users and guests all unite,
There will be no more spam tonight,
Hark the forum is now clean,
Like the trolls had never been.

[Sketchy]

When spammers got stuck up the chimney, they began to shout
You girls and boys won't get any uggs if you don't pull me out
I'm chased by mods
I'm selling uggs
Did I mentoin I'm selling uggs too
When spammers got stuck up the chimney
Uggschoo uggschoo ugschoo

Spammer trolls are coming to town

They're checkng their links, they'rr writing them twice,
They gonna find out they'll be gone in a trice,
When the mods are back in town.

They know when mods are sleeping,
They know their uggs are fake,
They know they're no good and they are bad,
So be gone for goodness sake...

[Pi.R^2]

They know when mods are sleeping,
They know their uggs are fake,
Definitely my favourite line of the evening!!

C - is for Cam who tries to sort the spammers out,
H - is for Harley who'll try to keep them out,
R - is for RYL all covered in spam,
I - is for the idiots that keep on and on and on,
S - is for the spammes who just don't give a damn,
T - is for the troll who will always be there,
M - is for the mods who throw up their hands in despair,
A - is for the annoying time it takes to ban,
S - is for the site now clear of all spam,
Who knows maybe this will be the end of this christnas alphabeeeeeet

Christmas time,
Spamming all the time,
Members screeching at the sight,
With trolls all in general, with uggs in their threads,
We will all have to PR from our beds

You guys are awesome!
Those are really good!

[Sketchy]

Oh the weather outside is spamfull
And the site is so uggfull
Since the Uggs have nowhere to go
Spam must go, spam must go, spam must go.

[Mandimoo]

Good king Harley did look out
Upon the threads in general,
Where the spammers were about
Making a mess and even
Taking over proper threads
And filling them with spa-am
When the mode came on-site
Banning all the trolls.

[Sketchy]

Mand, you are good. I don't have the energy or brain power to come up with anymore. Thank you for putting a smile on my face.:hehe:

[Mandimoo]

In the bleak GC
Spammers made us moan,
Every thread ugg-boots seemed to own,
But only our faithful mods,
Could restore our bliss,
Deleted all that junk so,
They deserve a kiss!

[Mandimoo]

God rest ye moddly women,
Let no spam you dismay,
For Harley our savior,
Has come to save the day,
Trolls, trolls, trolls, trolls are gone,
Spam is gone forever,
Come, come and worship,
The Molesworth lads have done it!

No space for spam threads,

The links are all gone now,
And it will stay that way!

[Mandimoo]

[Mandimoo]

Little spammers, little spammers,
With their dodgy links,
Got to keep on, posting fake uggs,
Whilst the mods all sleep!


-------------------

See the trolls lying on the floor,
leave your spam links at the door,
Harley cradling the mods he chose,
To bring spam-free boards to the site,

Oh now carry them to spammer-hell
To die an ugg-boot-related death
Just as clean as was our site,
Harley's the defender of our site!

[Mandimoo]

The Harley and the moddies,
When they have all de-spammed,
Of all the boards on the merry site,
General chat shall have thethe crown!

Ok i really am all done now lol

Although, I'm sure there's a much more logical explanation.

Oh the weather outside is spamful
But our Harley is so delightful
And since spam has no place to go
Ban it all ban it all ban it all

Spam doesn't show signs of stopping
But the mods brought bans for ugg boots
The spam is all fading away
Ban it all ban it all ban it all

(ok now I'm going to stop this)
