Dear Macsee,

You raise an excellent point. What is acceptable on one board may be considered "leading up to spam" in another.

From experience with my own board (and my own spammers) most fluff is not very sophisticated. I tend to let the fluff build. Once a spam post is made I ban the user and remove the spammy post and the fluff all in one go.

If your moderators actually discuss posts to judge their spammyness, there is little an automated service can add to that.

A question for all of you then: Do many forums work like that? Do moderators team up to identify fluffers on all boards, or is that something that only happens on a few boards, like Macsee's?
