It's allover the threads :/ ...and they are getting kinda spooky :) The spam comments tend to repeat user's replies with some illogical modifications & than add links. When you read other user's modified replies it's strange but when you read your own, it's a very creepy experience :)

I think that website should have a 'Report' button, it would make spam removal much more effective. Also it could be useful for hate-posting, I haven't seen much of it on the forum but it did happen at one point with just_in_case getting undeserved rant from a user.

I think a report button would be great. Make it so the post gets hidden from public view and Niko can then check and see if it actually violates any terms or rules. The only problem I can see is trolls would abuse this and report every post and the forum would be empty... Maybe have it work this way and, if people abuse it, IP ban them?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, after user clicks on Report button the reply should be hidden.
I don't think abuse would be a problem if only registered users could click the button & if click was associated with that user's nick/account/ip.

Ah, right. Yes, that's a good idea to only let registered members use it. good ideas.

I thought I had cleaned them all up, where do you see some?
You can simply post the links to them in any thread (like in this)

Oh, both the spam filter and I didn't see those, sorry! Fixed :)

haha it happens :) I wonder if blocking uncommon symbols would help any. I noticed one of the posts had some weird characters in the text. Perhaps blocking those would help a bit!

Yes, probably, will extend the filter a bit.
thanks!

Also, this post on the same topic, on page 2, looks fishy with the links posted... hmm.

Yes, they are really good. It's not bots but looks like people simply copying answers from other threads and mixing them with their links. Clever :)

Yeah. It took a few seconds to realize that was a spam post :) It's, in a way, impressive but at the same time I have no respect for them!
