Spam.

I say what?
There are posts that may hang here for days. I saw one or two.
I can see them - I'm a linguist by nature, I enter them and report them - nobody sees it, right?Andreas, another scenario: moderators see the same board as others - but flagged with red numbered icons - reports on each board; entering them, mods can see same threads - but reported ones are red or like that. Additionally, they can have a sorting tool - like "show reported first" - to easier see everything at once.
Also, I could suggest autoflagging - providing there's a filtering automaton on site. -

I wasn't talking about knowing languages. However it can be a case, too - for our users in general.

We, mods, should be receiving e-mail/pop-ups alerts when a post is flagged but it seems that there is a bug.

I've never ever received any form of notification (either email or otherwise) for reports of spam. But then again, I would only ever deal with spam when at home or using a desktop computer, Never when mobile or at work (which happens to be a 'non-connected' role), and I don't get paid at work for surfing on my mobile phone.

Is there any way I can sign up for mod?
I'd like to also just so I can get rid of spam when I see it instead of waiting.

Somebody needs beating up.
For the spam-report bug continuing, or for the spam itself? Or both...? :devil:

Did you hover?
Usually, I only hover if I've ingested too much pain medication after some medical procedure. However, if you mean hover over the text, I usually don't do that unless the text's been highlighted. Having hovered over the text, I do finally recognize what you meant... so you've answered my questions. Thank you. :cheers:

I believe I've fixed the setting now, so it's available to moderators.
Setting is there, yes, but I never got "flagged"-notifications on site so far (haven't tried email notifications)

I wonder if the black megic specialists can really help with Flash problems, malware protection and overall customisability.

Call 'em and find out. There's a phone number posted in the Windows forum at least once every day... in fact, it's there right now!

... A couple of them do list websites.
I'm guessing that the spamming here involves a middleman, hired by the shills running the website and paid to deliver spam on a per-unit basis. Of course, in the shady business of scamming/spamming/hacking, one area can quickly blur into another and they may all be subset parts of something more broadly organized.
