Shed loads. Difficult to find new posts amongst all that rubbish.

I've seen both Perun and Shadow come and go in the last hour or so without removing any of the spam threads. Is it only some admins who have the garbage cleaner job or what's the deal guys?!

It's risky to do it if you're on a phone. It's too easy to delete other threads.

They never seem to post in Forum Games luckily, so I don't have to delete anything Since I can't delete threads anywhere else, I just open all spam threads in new tabs and close them all at once so that "new posts" page clears up.

This is how the tour thread disappeared then? Fat thumbs!

I honestly don't know. We're not sure who hit it, but if you do inline moderation to remove several spam threads at once, even on a PC, it's easy to accidentally catch a genuine discussion thread. There's a 'permanent delete' option that only the admin can potentially undo. What you can't see, is that the reversible, safer, version of deleting threads just removes them from public view. They're all still there until one of us goes through them carefully and permanently deletes them.

A sort of "Quarantine" for spam threads is a good idea for sure. Most spam threads are pretty easily recognizable. Until you get a user who just joined up without an avatar asking a question

 

[Brigantium]

It's still not foolproof, unfortunately, because the removed-public-view threads are mixed among the others. They are marked, but still easy to accidentally delete when you've a lot of spam threads.

Got it! If only we could do something about the Swiss cheese software instead. That'd be great

I slept 16 hours straight.

Is that good or bad?

Very bad, considering my classes start this Monday.

Sometimes you log on, see a hundred spam threads, think "fuck this", and log off again.

Mine too

Good news is that I should only have 2 more semesters of classes. After they are done I should only have exams till graduation
17 subjects left to pass. 3 of those subjects are probably harder than the other 14 combined though.

You're making Brigantium look bad now...trying to explain why it might have been very difficult...but it's OK, we all know how it really is

This semester has a schedule that leaves a lot of room for free time, so I'm not that mad that the holiday is over.

Besides, I've been on holiday since June 1st, that's a long ass holiday.

Fortunately, I've been able to push last Saturday to the back of my head to the extent that I can actually enjoy my start-of-the-weekend beer.

Aaand I stayed up for 30 hours straight and gained my sleeping pattern back.
