With the current system, if two "trusted" members or one moderator reports a post as spam (the word spam anywhere in the report, not case sensitive
IIRC) the thread will be deleted and the spammer's account automatically terminated. I don't know if there is still a manual list of trusted members
or if there's now a program for determining who is trusted and who isn't based on post count/tenure/etc. If it is still manual it likely needs
updating, but that's up to Polverone. If someone has replied to the thread the code does not work, which is why I strongly discourage replying to spam
threads with "thread reported" or witty banter. It also doesn't work for deleting posts that are tacked on to existing threads. I still have to
manually delete those. |
