Hi (plusminus),

what can we do against all those spam posts? They are really annoying and I think they destroy the forum. There must be something like adding captures when creating an account and/or new topic to block those spams.

What do you think?

Best,
benny!

Thanks for answering.

Bah, that's sad. Are there any good alternatives concerning dev orientated android development (english) besides the android mailing lists ?

Guess I will leave this board, too - since I find those spam really annoying.

http://androidforums.com/android-developers/ is good but hasn't got half the information that''s here

Yah .. I saw this forum before. Looks quite OK - although it seems to be cover a wide range of non-development related topics. I do not like that. In addition, the board structure seems to be too broad.

Hmm ... really a shame that +/- left. No one else here with admin rights to do something against that spam posts???

Indeed, it would be a shame if all this tutorials got lost. Hopefully +/- can make somebody else admin or moderator.

Wow, what just happened, i got an spam check, nice

I bugged +/- on Facebook telling him the forum was invaded by spam yayy

.....Aaaaaaaaaaaaand your banned.

Oh, it would not be appreciated, at least, among my mates. I found the tutorials really a smart read but their los will be a lossL.

When I ban a user, there is no way to use "ban user and delete all previous posts" that is SO annoying! ;-(
