Way too many. I don't even see a way to report them as spam. Mods need to monitor it closer.
Kinda speaks to the lack of moderation on these boards as well...

No one has used a "bursting strength tester" in this forum and it shows.
The only time the mods pay attention to the free board is when Mack Rhoades or Linda Livingstone are being spoken negatively about and the post(s) are getting too many blue stars. Then they (or one of their aliases) swoop in like Spider Man
I don't think they monitor/moderate the free boards at all. They just depend on flags to delete anything. And apparently it takes two flags to get a post removed.Mitch Henessey said:

Click the three dots beside a post (where you can respond). Then you can report the post as Spam
In time, the mods will delete the threads.

Usually within an hour.

I have a feeling not all flags are treated equally.
They actually react to spam flags pretty quickly.

Flags for posters getting into a pissing match are treated differently since they're actual people and not a bot we delete and ban immediately.Karab said:bear2be2 said:I don't think they monitor/moderate the free boards at all.

OK, good that its there. But I spent about 10 minutes looking for it last night and gave up. It needs to be easier to find.Noghri said:BERFAN said:

You need me on that wall
The mobile version has the 3 dots. The computer version does not. I tried on 4 different computers. Tried to post a screenshot but it told me too many characters. Maybe that is something that could be looked at.
Also, anyone notice the "AI" generated reaponses in some threads. We need a flag for "AI Response Spam", so we can weed out the fake posters.

if there was a "UI" flag, well sadly most of us would be getting flagged all the time. Some more than others...
I guess that's why I couldn't find it. I only surf here from the PC.BERFAN said:

The amount of spam these days is just out of control. Every other call or message is trying to sell me something I don't need. It's annoying when you're expecting an important message, and it turns out to be spam. I've been using sites like …Deleted link..look up numbers when I need clarification. It helps filter out junk and gives me a heads-up if it's dodgy. Have you tried blocking the numbers? It's not a perfect fix, but it does help a bit. It feels like we're all in the same boat!
Ok. This is ironic.
I almost posted the same thing this morning. A spam bot necro posting on a months-old thread about spam is some Black Mirror or Twilight Zone level dystopian meta *****Noghri said:BainMoos said:

On the bright side, AI isn't yet self aware, so us humans have a few more years to live.
