[META] Moderators, watch out for spam
I have noticed several attempts to post spam recently, and I just deleted an answer that was obviously spam.
Moderators, please check what you are approving.
Edit :
This is still happening! Don't just blindly click accept to everything in the list.
If you are going through the moderation queue, it is your responsibility to check what you are approving. That is what the moderation queue is all about. If you are going to accept any random rubbish and spam, what's the point?
I have noticed the same patterns. What prompted me to post this was one got approved (not long before I posted this).
The only method I know of is to report the user. When one of these spam questions/answers appear in the moderation que, I click on the title which opens the question in a new tab. From there I select more > report , have the drop-down menu selected on spam, then click Ok. As far as I know this still works, as previously I have received an email regarding a reported post.
I suppose one could note the offending username in an email to support@answerhub.com , as 'double-diamond' user interaction is scarce and selective these days....
Wow, just saw another one in the same format as thornekeys (10$$anonymous$$s before this comment)
c'mon mods, this is not a constructive answer, with no more than a glance its obvious this is a spam link.
Suspend does not work for me. $$anonymous$$y guess is that you have to be a double diamond.
I have received notification that users over 10$$anonymous$$ karma now have the ability to suspend users. Please use this power wisely =]
I've rejected spam fairly frequently over the last couple of weeks. Over the last year, it has tended to come in waves...a few days of spamming followed by quiet weeks. A lot of the recent stuff is coming from the same user. Is there any mechanism for referring a user to a 'double diamond' so their account can be suspended? Not that suspending would stop a user from just creating a new account.
