phaolo: Well, the current scammers proved to be complete idiots so far, so I'm not surprised ( no, it's not hard to fool generous people :\ ).
If your info is exact, that seems a big forum flaw in my opinion (unless the report threshold is quite high).
Posts get auot-deleted when reported as spam by enough people - how many? I don't know, but it works like this since I can remember. Expect for the wishlist where reports seem to go to a deep dark place no one ever visits.

Why is such a big flaw in your opinion?


And the timespan for consecutive posts by the same poster to not be merged is 10mins, not seconds.

If the number of reports isn't very high, scammers could manage to auto-delete proof-posts or even legit posts\threads.
I saw that quickie-something's posts disappear just recently, so I was wondering.
Maybe I'm just paranoid :P

10mins? I thought max 1! Lol, then I reached that limit a few times without knowing XD
Anyway, with a single-post restriction, spambots would be quite blocked.

His posts disappear because peeps around here are not satisfied to just down-vote them, they also hit that "report as spam" linky. ;-)

You think they are less hesitant about banning something that's most likely a bot? I remember not too long ago it could go on for the better part of a half hour before getting banned...

I also saw an indian guy advertising some kind of jobs website about the same time, don't remember in which topic.
Ok, this is really becoming ridiculous... -_-;

Could you please GOG STAFF find a way to protect the Wishlist from the Spambot ?
Don't know... perhaps a minimum of 10 (clean) posts before being able to post a message there, but let's those with 0 still vote ? O_o
