New Report Spam Button Policy

[johnnygoodman]

Howdy All,

Based on CPAPtalk feedback and internal debates, we are changing the way our beloved Report Spam buttons work.

1. They will appear after a minimum of 90 days of registered time and 50 posts as a registered user.

2. The slate is washed clean for those who have lost their spam button in the past. If you meet the requirements, you have the button back unless a board administrator bounces a reported spam as not spam. Remember: Viagra ads, easily spam; Post you disagree with, most likely NOT spam.

As with last time, once its marked, it is set in stone. This keeps me well out of the way of "should I have my spam button" debates. I think this will work better as those who "earn" their button receive it and those who are just trying to milk or disrupt CPAPtalk are denied it.

Lastly, thanks to all who help keep the streets of CPAPtalk clean! Your button is not more powerful than ever and should hopefully have to be used a lot less.

I got mine back too.

In the infamous words of that once world leader ... "Bring it on" spam! ... clicked, dead or alive.

Thanks for the thoughtful consideration to this issue.
I'm impressed.

Darn, I don't have mine yet, soon I hope.

I haven't been here long enough to have the "Report Spam" button show up, but I have to assume that those who do have that option are doing a great job of it, because I've yet to see any spam on this forum. Good goin', guys and gals.

Thanks as well!!

I hadn't had the disappointment of having mine disappear -- and hope I never do. But for those that are regular posters that have had it taken and then restored I salute you Johnny!!

Johnny, I know it was a tough call.

I know you thought long n hard.

But hey, isn't that why YOU get the BIG BUCKS?

Looks like it may be working - so far!!

[Songbird]

Wow. If you ever get tired of this gig, Johnny (and I sure hope you never do!!), please give serious consideration to joining the diplomatic service. What a great solution. Thank you!!

I'm not sure how I lost mine but I'll refrain from getting a new Dog right away. It was a shame to see that last dog starve because I couldn't kill him enough SPAM to keep him healthy. Jim

It took him a long time to die, he had picked up quite a bit of weight. There just wasn't enough Rabbits around here for both of us.
