Hey dang, can you comment about the recent spree of comment spam here? (I mean the really trashy spam, not the brigading.) Does that happen every now and then or is it something new?
- hellbanner 9y agoAre you referring to "Reddit style comments"?
- Dylan16807 9y agoI've seen a bunch of "make money online with this one weird trick" style comments, so probably those.
- phreeza 9y agoyes, those.
- hellbanner 9y agoGotcha, I haven't seen those spam comments recently, must be heavy moderation.
- dang 9y agoIt happens now and then but the latest wave of is new in how much of it there is. If we have to, we'll write software to kill it, but we're sort of lazy about that, so we're hoping the existing anti-spam measures will work first. Fortunately, from a community point of view it's just a nuisance, because it all gets flagged. But we don't want to let it clog the system up too much.
- phreeza 9y agoOK, thanks. hope the existing measures work.
