Policing the forums

I’ve been annoyed by pests signing up for access to our forums just to post advertising, and have been diligently adding them to my ignore list. But it was a real shock to come into the forums this morning and see pornography openly posted!

I have no gripes with people who are complaining. In fact I left my last hosting provider because they completely shut down the forums. But this stuff really has no place on these forums that we use to assist us in running our businesses.

Is there any way to keep these low-lifes out of the system? I don’t need to be subjected to their postings and certainly no one associated with my company should be.

This was on your forums, or ours?

We do sometimes have this happens but we try to delete such ASAP!

There are a few means, you can disable image posting for one. You can make it more challenging to sign up, it works ok, not great.

If you are talking about your forums, what software is it based on and i can give you more ideas.

From your PM I take it you saw the problem. Thanks for the update on where the “report post” link is. I really didn’t want to spend too much time in the filth looking for the link, so I missed it.
