Man this temu stuff is crazy. Thanks to the mods who are on clean up duty! I feel for you guys it’s not fun.

I know it's possible to black list certain words so threads and posts don't post if they contain those words. Can we add Temu to that list?

Yeah but there appears to be some REALLY GREAT deals! LOL!

Heck, they even hit THIS thread!! Nuts man. I'm sure the mods are on it since it started and has been a daily thing now. What gets me is almost every one of them has about 30-50 views!! I sure hope all those folks are reporting them when they view it! You don't have to view them if you don't want to. Just view the good stuff in the section, then mark all the spam as "read" by using the button in the tool bar under the listing of the page numbers, "forum tools", click the drop down, then click the "mark forum as read", all done. You don't have to view all of them to clear the section. Once you report 2 or 3 of them, the mods will surely be on it. And big thanks for all you mods who are taking care of all this NONSENSE!! We appreciate all you do!!

1JEWLDSSRS · 11-22-2024, 08:12 PM

mlee gets zero support from the site Admin so has totally lost interest in keeping up with it.

My duties here don't need to be harder than they should be. It's more than just simple spam.

Wow that really bites sir! Wish they did more for you guys...

This round the spammers seem more problematic....new threads, old threads, Camaro5, Corvette forums...seems no sub-forum topic is safe....and they don't show any signs of letting up...

Good luck to the mods, and thanks...

If no admin help is given the mods, maybe it takes just not reporting and not deleting them to get the admin's attention...sucks, but oh well.

I think that there's more than enough interested and capable "members" that could delete threads and users if given that role and responsibility.

Or just approve new members with an email verification before they can post.

I don't think it's would be too hard to ask for some help here.

Exactly what I started doing but there's always one mod who deletes them. I'm fine with letting it go and have downloaded all the pics and stuff from my build threads.

I've invested a shit ton of time and sweat because I love this forum... but damn there comes a time.
