We are somebody now! It's time for v/ReportSpammers

The dregs of the internet have found voat and we need your help.

Just in the last few days, I've deleted a user's post offering a commercial product/service, and today I banned a URL and its user for posting only their site (this was after a message to stop the spam got ignored). I expect soon to see brand spanking new users making repetitive posts or comments hawking their junk too. Each of these is a form of spam and is not welcome here.

Should you come across a user who looks like they are spamming, please make a discussion post with that user's name at v/ReportSpammers and we'll will take a look. A link to that user's profile page and the name of their site/domain or their channel is helpful.

Thanks for your vigilance :)

I'm surprised it took this long tbh. I also run a small unrelated message board which only gets a few visitors a day, but it gets bombarded with spam. Thanks for the help Cynabuns.

He's technically not spam but he is rather prolific. The 'Block User' button is an option, it's found on every user's profile page.

Technically not spam

Why don't we have an option to directly report a post or comment as spam? Or am I just missing it?

[ - ] Cynabuns [op] 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 2, 2021 11:53:13 ago (+1/-0)

A report button will be coming, we went without be on old voat for a long time. This is the best option for the moment
