Hi,

I know (and use) thread where we can report spam, but I have made a couple of anti spam solutions and they work quite simple.
Maybe you can add these in a future forum update.

- Don't allow links in the first 10 posts or so (this is the most easy to implement, not 100% proof, but it will help a great deal)
- Give some users a 'spam moderator' status with the ability to hide posts for review by admins ( not automatic, but easy to implement)
- Don't allow the use of certain words (maybe just for the first xx post)


I feel this will help a great deal in reducing the amount of spam.

Thanks for your suggestion, Montfooij. We'll see to it that this will be relayed to the team. We appreciate your great support in making our platform, a forum-friendly environment.

Another suggestion that might help also is that when a user creates an account they have to provide a valid serial number of a DJI product along with the other required information.   This would make permanent bans more effective.  As is, spammers get banned and just easily create a new account and are right back to spamming the forum.

Thanks for the suggestion, DowntownRDB. Rest assured that this will be communicated to the team. Again, we appreciate your efforts in making this platform, a forum-friendly one.

Good suggestions from both of you. Having some kind of word filter against those pesky Keto scams could help a long mile.

Yeah, that sounds good!

Thanks.  Now we wait and see if any changes occur.

Anything that helps cut down on the increasing amount of spam posts will be most appreciated.

Let's hope so.

Pretty quiet on Spammers this morning.

They did do an upgrade to the forum.
The error page that you get when you load too many pages at once is improved.
So maybe they have incorporated more.

Montfrooij Posted at 10-9 03:53
I noticed that too.

I'm not complaining as less spammers is always a good thing.

DJI Diana Posted at 10-9 08:39

Thanks Diana.  I had a wonderful weekend.  Hope yours went as well.

I haven't hit the error page this morning but thanks for the heads up.

I heard DAF got some spam this morning.

100% agreed.

Did he get spam via PM or some type of error message?  

Montfrooij Posted at 10-10 03:52

Not sure if they implemented anything new yet but this is 2nd day with minimal spam.  Hopefully, saying this doesn't jinx us and then the forum gets bombarded.

Yes, same here.

So far it is still looking good for a low spam day.

Although i have been low also.
