Spammers, etc.

How in the world, in the past few months, has the number of spammers, dumb anon fanatic comments, and blog whoring users just shot up? Every other day, miamidolphins, for the rest of the article, click here, and DNL today blocked some user named Caro11.

How often did the veteran of AGM deal with this? I've been here 7 months, and there is a huge difference in spamming and blog whoring.

Um, I think it is a direct corrolation to the site traffic. Many more people = many more assholes, blog whores, spammers and dumb Anon Fanatic comments

yes...

some users have been recruiting heavily...which has brought many of you here...but also many others with other intentions or ideas...

Why do you think no "founder" has really made a comment about it? Because sometimes you gotta give a little and take a little...

Ya like Jut said about the founders, it's all relative. Compared to the number of regular and quality active conributors in the community there is a small amount of trouble. Many sites who attempt to be AGM or similar are overrun with crap, you know like that site about the Joker in Chicago.

The problem is that a lot of the admins are either busy with real life, the founders who are busy making sure the site continues to function, or students. I think it might be time to add another couple of admins to the pool

As the site grows you will find spammers and hackers and other BS to deal with. There is no way to shut them all out, just have to suck it up.

Honestly, the amount of blogwhoring is probably down -- it's just that now, we don't ignore it as much as we used to.

Spam -- well, it's probably message board spam. I don't get much if any, which is weird. When I noticed Caro11, I banned him.

Weird anon comments... uh... well:

  • Some of it is you guys logged out, trying to be funny. (Yes, we can tell.)
  • MOST of it is because of incoming traffic increasing. It's not me recruiting -- it's the articles getting linked and the search engines finding our stuff better.

Honestly, it's probably just because traffic is up. Didn't one of the articles get on SI.com? Why do you allow Anonymous posting? Make them log in and register at least.
