Poor chaps, each time they check back the Sports Lounge their previous eggs are gone as a result of a few mouse-clicks.

It's a real pain in the ass that you have to wait 30 seconds between spam reports.
![]() It was quiet in the Sports Forum for a while. They're rapid fire again around the 4:00 am eastern time.

I usually get several of the Korean spammers most nights starting around 6pm my time. I’m happy to do my part to help to eliminate them from our beloved Bimmerpost.

This is the second one today using an existing account to push the Tesla referral:
https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2033761 Existing member hasn't posted since 1/1/22 and then the spam one. There was another one earlier today but it looks like it was already taken down. |

All waves of bot posts were systematically merged, all contents subsequently removed. It only took a couple of mouse-clicks to regularly sanitize. Without these operations the targeted sections would have become disrupted by many nonsense threads. All those bot efforts were to no avail. Only footprint remaining: hundreds of banned accounts and logged IPs.

I think this has been a great tool allowing us to help the fight against spam, but I have seen 3 long time members posts/threads erroneously marked as spam in the past week. I'm honestly not sure if these were mistakes or someone screwing around. In one case, the subject line of the thread easily could have been misinterpreted as spam but I have no idea why the others were flagged.
Please look at the members post count and join date before flagging as spam. Thank you.

The crowd-sourced voting system seems to be the best compromise. My suggestion that all of the Universal Forums (high value for SEO spam because of all the different web URLs for the same message content) require a user to login would stop a lot of the SEO spam, since the posts would not be visible to search engines.....

Lately Bimmerpost encounters spam traffic from spam bots 'nesting' spam URLs with this technique:
Below: banal comment starting with "hii", hiding a "storysaver" spam URL, from a recent Bimmerpost account with a low post-count. Tip to other mods and admins: perform a search on the spam URL (in this case for example "storysaver") and anomalies (such as "hii" as search string (cleared in the meantime)), to track down similar spam comments. Call up, merge and subsequently hard-delete all comments posted by the spam bot. Example: "hii" + banal bot-generated comments (featuring hidden spam URLs) in different threads posted within a brief period of time + from a recent Bimmerpost account with a low post-count.
