Title: Suggestion : Filter Spam URLs
Post by: bittyweb on February 25, 2014, 08:04:00 AM
Hi

Bitcointalk members,

I have an idea, where to filter the threads which contain the same spam url's advertising by newbies.
Everytime deleting a thread will be too messy, and innocent people getting scammed.

So, my idea is "How about a mod which will filter the spam urls"?
Ex: I see threads with new newbies creating "Buy bitcoins for $419 and advertising scam links"

Each time, some or other getting scammed, not by the members of bitcointalk, but guests or search engine traffic.
So if mods can implement such feature, it will be a great feature.

So if anyone still post the same url even after getting spam or reported as spam, as soon as he post new thread, it will go to moderation thread. So that mod can either post it.
What do you say guys?

They'll probably just cloak the urls if this happened. You can report people for posting referral links and also spamming other links all over.

They do when it gets annoying enough from the same site, but it never works for long.
