47 second delay

WOW. I am all tired out from reporting those spam messages. It would be easier to report if the reporting message was exempt for the 47 second posting cycle. Even I can type faster than that .

Have a great holiday to all the Chief Delphi Family.

Re: 47 second delay

Similarly, waiting 47 seconds to let y'all know I've deleted the spam is sometimes cumbersome.

The delay does, of course, also limit how frequently spammers can post as well.

But doesn't stop them from posting their junk.
Personally I find the 47 second delay a great annoyance.

Re: 47 second delay

What was that 5 spam messages reported in a row? Great job!

We should make it a contest, and count the number of reports each person can get. The person with the most is certifiably the biggest CD user.

Re: 47 second delay

I noticed that this morning for the first time. (Reported my first spam message...) I guess it's good that I've never had time to report any other messages. Good job patrolling the interweb!

Anyway, I do think the 47 second delay is somewhat annoying, but in the end, necessary. It seems that spammers still manage to post a lot of stuff here. Still, you never know. Maybe some spammer would just go and flood the site with spam if the delay is removed... I mean, at least the spam is manageable now.

Re: 47 second delay

If the reporting function did not count as a message, then it would be easier to report. That 47 seconds seems like a lifetime.

Re: 47 second delay

The time delay is adjustable, but the shorter it is, the greater benefit to the spammers. I am the admin in another forum (unrelated to robots) and the only effective way to get rid of spammers was to moderate all new members manually; even then a spammer slips in now and again.

Strangely I've never witnessed any spam on the other messageboards I post on.
Just this one. For some reason they love coming here and posting their stuff.

Do your other boards include electronics talk?
Most of the spam I see is electronics for sale.

Re: 47 second delay

When I report things, I normally post in the thread first, then click the report button.

I've never gotten a delay that way.

But for reporting multiple messages....

Re: 47 second delay

It's typical for spammers to hit boards hard on the holidays. Less people on to deal with them, sometimes they time these things.

Re: 47 second delay

Well, let's see. As I read it, issue is removing the 47 second delay for those reporting spam, and leaving it in place for everyone else, including spammers.


I think that it might just be easiest to post first, without delay, as Michelle said. However, if it is possible, could the whole process be expedited by making an auto-reply when reporting spam (with the regular "reported" reply)? The 47 second rule could remain, and it would encourage, and ease the process of reporting spam. I'm not completely sure if this can be done, or how easy it might be to implement, but I personally think it might be a good idea.

Well, that's just my $0.02.
