Default Reporting.

Why have you set the time limit to report each spam post to 60 seconds? With increasing porn images being posted the time limited should be decreased. I spent 8 minutes yesterday reporting spam posts and even then only some of the posts were removed. Don't forget there are children viewing the board and have bought the vbulletin software who have even admitted their age in posts and whilst I'm sure we adults can handle it childrean and miners shopuldn't be exposed to this material any longer than they have to.

I'm asking for the time limit between reporting spam to be cut down to 30 seconds? The sooner you know about it the quicker the spam related posts are removed and spammers dealt with.

I agree. I don't expect to come to vB.org and see pornographic content. I'd have expected better protection to be in place.

there are some hacks here avoiding guests/newbies to post links and images, this is pathetic to see that even if these are some of the most requested features in a load of sites, vb.org is not using them... which would avoid 90% of the spam i find on this place...

Whether its 30 seconds or 60 seconds is not going to make any difference, if staff are around its going to take more than 60 seconds to deal with multiple reports, if they arent its totally irrelevant anyway.

It's not about the volunteers paul. It's about members who may not have the time to report (8 posts) like I did yesterday which took 8 minutes whereareas they would only report 1 or two because of time restrictions they may/will have.

It's always good practice to reduce spamming by implementing the proper precautions but when they aren't in place your relying on the good members of the forum who take the time (who will not always have the time) to report multiple posts when by reducing it they can report more vulgar/porn related posts which are increasing here.

I don't think it's fair on members and children to view porn (and this morning) full bared woman, grannies untill a volunteer came along to remove it (which in my books is far too long) and damaging to the children (and yes they are children) that are exposed to this vulgar material.

It's not about our grievances anymore this is about exposing material and reporting more of it within a time limit so the post is reported and not left unreported within a less restricted timeframe.

If we can reduce this it's always a good thing to do and reducing the reporting limit to 30 seconds members will have more time to report the multiple porn spam that is posted here rather than walking away because they haven't got the time and/or cannot be bothered to report it. Luckily, I took the time to report posts because spam should always be combated and reduced as much as possible.

Shelley, i would suggest that you go to vB.COM to suggest a little change in the process... Report Posts is based on Post Delay, which cause the 30/60 seconds delay in posting reports... i find it obvious personally that it's not a good way to deal with delay in reports, it have to be a independant setting...

I saw that this morning before i went to work, I had to drive 64 miles to work with that on my mind, I tell ya i had to double my concentration

Seriously i agree, More has to be done to prevent spammers like this from appearing, so perhaps a hack to prevent links and pictures, as well as making it easier to reporn such occurances.

Usually, once a moderator gets on site, they take care of all the spam. One thing you might want to do if there are multiple posts/threads from a single spammer is just report one of them and say something like "there are several from him - please delete them all" or something like that. So, one 'report' per spammer and then that hopefully cuts down on the number of reports you have to do.

I don't see how the post get made anyways, there are plenty of hacks that would prevent the post from going into public view in the first place
I have them implemented on my forums, and very few spam post make it to the public eye.
