Flagging SPAM messages on here

@peternlewis I've flagged a number of messages on here that are obvious spam. Unfortunately I am now getting a message that I have flagged too many entries and cannot flag any more for the next 23 hours. Sorry I can't help and flag any more.

Forums are getting spam attacked now ... I'm simply closing and unlisting each topic, as i can't flag it as spam.

I don't see any flag reports or spam this morning. These things tend to come in waves.

We'll see how it goes.

I checked the admin settings, and it says 20 flags per day, as well as multipliers for each of the trust levels. I have increased the multipliers to from 1.5 to 2.5 and from 2 to 5 for the various levels.

I appreciate you guys doing the flagging! Keep up the good work, as much as the system lets you, anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

Absolutely thank you to those that keep the spam at bay

You're welcome, but I rely on you guys to spot it and flag it. All we have to do is double-check then click a button. And assuming the forum software doesn't wig out, it's as simple as that.

The other advantage is that I believe after a post has been flagged (or flagged twice) it will be hidden from most users until the flag is resolved. At least that is my understand, who really knows what Discourse does.

Thanks to everyone flagging. It definitely helps.
