I doubt it’s him. I’m seriously.

I was joking. Partly. MANY of his posts are shit. Literally.

The head admin's absent, the other one quit, and /u/Vulptex is too busy dealing with psychological issues. Enjoy your stay.

    It's still better than the alternative.

    I'm around and actually removed truckloads of spam last weekend. But saidit doesn't have any anti-spam tools at the moment so there's nothing that can be done to stop them.

    I don't know why such a small site gets so much spam. Especially when others don't really seem to. Maybe because it's an actual fork of reddit.

    Reddit has ads that show up as “promoted”, and you know right away. These ads are literal shitpost style. Its just a pain to “report” them and then “hide” them. I guess I could block the user too, but they’ll just find another route like a telemarketer.

    Btw, does reporting do any good or is it a pain in the butt for you?

    Also, I have zero tech knowledge or savvy.

    Reporting really does help. /s/all has a reports page where I can see every report on the site. If admin is turned on the reports will also show up anywhere just like they would if you were a mod.

    So wait, if you get turned on you can see everything? Kidding. I’ll keep reporting. Seems to be mostly in the morning, U.S. pacific time.

    that's good to know, I thought if you clicked "report" it only went to the sub mods.

    <b> / "Also, I have zero tech knowledge or savvy."</b> That's all you needed to know OP. There's your answer! And the problem for the majority of these unmoderated spaces. Non left wing people especially conservatives don't get high tech. To them a 'phone' is their PC!!! 🪓🪓🪓 🤮🤮🤮

    I use a flip phone.

    Those were the days! The internet was a far better place when people actually had to read instead of mass scroll to the next 'live' thing. Having everything be 'live' has killed it and society.

    Obviously the feds are targeting this site because we speak truth.

    [–]Vulptex 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    I doubt it. They're all advertisements. "Essay writing service, visit this link to get your essay written for you!".

    The only one that might be a fed is the Americans bot. The rest of the feds aren't bots and spam accounts.

    [–]FuckTardMonkey 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    Most of you wouldn't know a Fed if he walked up and showed you his ID badge

    The American bot is just some disgruntled piece of s*** sitting in his mama's basement typing b******* insults

    You're free to swear.

    It's not difficult to write a Chrome extension that allows you to create actual extensions to an existing website wigs is able to do such a thing he's very good at such things you could write a Chrome extension that allowed certain members of The forum to send you a direct message that contains the word spam and contains a link to the thread or the post and then the Chrome extension running on your account mistress vault text it would automatically hide that post or comment but you're too lazy to do that

    [–]Vulptex 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I know how to do that. But first of all I want to manually review everything. And second, I can't leave my computer on all the time, nor does admin mode stay on for longer than a certain period of time.

    It's really not that bad from what I've seen.

    [–]1Icemonkey[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    There’s just a string of ads every morning, usually about gay tech stuff. It’s annoying.

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Oh no! It can't be that liberals and trolls have overwhelmed this space to make it their communist propaganda machine so we will continue to be swayed to China's Social Credit!
