What's up with all the spam posts?
-
I've taken the following steps:
- Required new signups to receive administrative approval
- Increased the amount of upvotes/reputation you need to have un-reviewed posts.
That should halt the botswarm momentum for now. Hopefully the locusts lose interest and move on to greener pastures. @ThinPicking @Kilgore Thank you both for all of your help during this time.

@brad Thanks that should work. Could you clean up the post queue? When I go to Bell > Post awaiting review I get one post loaded up. I reject that then a page with like 50 posts loads up. But there I am not allowed to reject/accept posts "You do not have enough privileges for this action.". Not one by one or in bulk.

@Kilgore done
-
@brad thx
-
Yo, can you guys, like, whitelist me or something? I have been a good boy, I assure you.
-
@Cicero Uploaded a bunch of your posts so hopefully that works. Or you can also confirm your email that will surely work.
-
@Kilgore Sick, thanks.

@brad Hey bud! The registration queue thing works well. I think you could remove the "minimum upvotes required for posting" filter as the people who want to post are always fine. That part is not needed. But keep the registration queue and I will keep approving/declining people!
-
@Kilgore Is this why I keep getting stuck whenever I post anything?
-
@engineer Did you confirm your email?
I upvoted a lot of your posts and you still seem to be required to be approved. -
@Kilgore looks like that might have been the issue, it ended up in spam and I forgot to check it
