H00V3RD8M Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Sometimes, I stumble upon these spam posts on the forums, which the most recent ones contained one or more links that lead to live streams, mostly associated with major sporting events. Whenever I find one, I click the report button and send in a message to staff informing them of the spam post. Out of general curiosity, where do the moderators send these spam posts to after they caught the spammers and banned them? A spam post that has been removed shows an error message stating that the viewer doesn't have the permission to read the post, which makes me wonder: There must be a restricted staff-only area on the forums which the moderators use as an archive, which contains spam posts that they have removed from the main community area.

H00V3RD8M Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 No, I am not meaning spammers getting banned documented on the forum rules and warnings thread, I mean what happens to threads containing spam themselves, when the poster has been banned.

TheVampireDante Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Once flagged only the staff can see those topics, they remain in place just hidden from public view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
