Stopping necrospam

Name: F r o z e n V o i d !!mJCwdV5J0Xy2A21 2013-09-03 6:59

Moot needs to implement the Anti-Necro fix from https://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1378179410
You can't stop it with captcha. Its either bump age limits or reduced bump power.
Plus fix the new thread form(i currently can use it via extension script).

moot needs to implement an anti-double-posting fix too.
And why the hell can't you suggest this yourself? You're an attention whore so you should be jumping at the chance

Captcha was really the wrong course of action to take when a single disgruntled /prog/lodyte recently had a temper tantrum because of ``le e/g/in /g/ros'' and turned on his spam bot on multiple machines, but really, if MrVacBob (does he even have anything to do with world4ch anymore?) or some global moderator would actually come to /prog/ every now and then, they could deal with the very few spam incidents pretty easily. Spammers on /prog/ get bored after a while, even when they know how to evade bans and automate spam. And punishing the average user for what a few bad eggs do isn't the right kind of model here.

The text boards don't need really anal moderation, just someone who will delete spam, and only spam, and ban the spammers. Make a new dedicated /prog/ mod or janitor and have them only deal with spammers. The problem with a lot of global moderators who spend a vast majority of their time on the image boards is that they don't really understand what is or isn't acceptable here. When the people who enforce the rules aren't even actively engaging in the community they're moderating, that's a big problem.


I necro-bumped the threadstopped threads to show that captcha won't solve anything. If someone's determined enough, they'll do it. Besides, you can pay for captcha solvers. It's like $1/1000 solved captchas, or something ridiculously cheap like that. Although many regulars here are pretty autistic, many are actual programmers and, big surprise, have jobs, so paying for 1,000 captchas per day would be nothing. $30 a month for some angry nostalgic user to spam world4ch into oblivion because it's not ``like the good old days'' or something.

TL;DR we need a new dedicated anti-spam only mod, not captcha.

So obviously Spammer-chan is butt-frustrated that captchas have been implemented so he's necro-bumping 1000 post threads as a protest.
Now how do we fix this?
Easy, we delete all threads when they reach 1000 posts :3

This is a terrible idea. I suggest we just keep changing /prog/ until Spammer-chan commits sudoku out of despair

That's why it's genius.
Don't negotiate with spammorists. Instead just keep ruining /prog/ until they kill themselves

>You're an attention whore
>can't you suggest this yourself
I cannot guarantee mods won't ban me due some past transgressions or the reputation i have(in which case i'll leave this board for good).
I want a neutral party to bring it to mods/moot notice.

This has been suggested many times, mods don't come here often. An automated system like >>1 Anti-necro fix will shutdown any such flood attempts for good(except first few pages, and if there was a limit to repeated bumps(repeated bumps by same IP don't change thread position) even there necrospam will be stopped ). Plus there couple of suggestions down the thread in >>1 which limit spam even further(With post rate of 60s/post/IP and postfilters the spam rate will be minimal).

I'm neither the jews guy nor the large-scale spammer. Just necrobumped the ``over 1000 posts'' threads for about the first page or so to show that this current system doesn't stop spam.

So your point is this: The current system is broken, but please don't fix it because it's broken.
What manner of insanity is this? You're inviting more change not less.

I'm saying it's not worth changing the entire board for everyone because of a few isolated incidents.

If there is flaw it will be exploited, until someone will open their eyes and say "This is broken and needs to fixed". Hiding your head in the sand and hoping it will sort itself out is stupid.
Saying "Its will still be broken, so lets do nothing to fix it" or some other forms of aversion to change will just stifle progress to create a better forum.

Oh. But you had to spam the entire front page. Nobody would believe you otherwise.

Or you could just go to the new /prog/ at http://progrider.org/bbs

Thanks for the last necrobumping, asshole. Expect massive retaliation on your server.
