The new Anti-Spam tools of WebWiz Forums makes life a lot easier, thank you. I have a suggestion regarding this great new feature: Can an option be added, where instead of deleting the spam post in question, the posts get moved to a hidden section / archived instead? Lately what I've been doing is requiring post-approval for new users... and when I find spam, i move the spam posts into a hidden section of the forum. The advantage of this is it increases the # of topics/posts on a forum... makes the forum look more popular statistics-wise, but the spam posts remain invisible in their own section. I still ban the individual's IP / range and suspend their accounts. ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A. Beard |

Is your "hidden" spam forum hidden by permissions? Because I believe that posts from forums you do not have permission to do not count towards the total number of posts. You will see them as an admin as you will most likely have permission to that forum. But if you log out and view the forum as a guest, I suspect you will see the total post count drop compared to when you looked as an admin. ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |
