Hey TRP,
It takes me about a total of 5 seconds to get rid of spam on here. On my end it's pretty easy to nuke spam
The singlehanded best thing that would help deter the troll spam on here before I can get to a post would be to downvote the post and not respond to it
They are looking for a reaction and engagement from the community, that's why they do it.
I will definitely see these posts sooner than later so the best thing to help me out would be to just downvote and ignore their spam posts. Their posts don't last long anyway

I start with yours!
have a downvote!
Vermillion-Rx Admin 10mo ago
Here! Have one back, virgin!
Typo-MAGAshiv 1 10mo ago
I have given you a downvote.
FAQ:
what does this mean?
A: not a damned thing. It's just fake internet points. Get a grip!
so I'm not banned from the dot reds?
A: no, not yet. But keep it up, and the downvoting will continue.
why did you do this?
A: it seemed like a good idea at the time, and I'm a dick.
why are you such an ASSHOLE?!
Because fuck you, that's why!
Vermillion-Rx Admin 10mo ago
Downvoted you and me. Now I'm gonna make a bully post about bullies on this forum
Typo-MAGAshiv 1 10mo ago
Why do girls like bullies?
Why do bullies pick on weirdo loner types?
My crush got with my bully.
Vermillion-Rx Admin 10mo ago
I'm gonna hit all those points, don't worry. I won't miss anything

Will do VRX. I'm not sure why people responded to the brunette girl troll post. It was clearly a troll.
I also wonder if we can implement some future feature of flagging accounts who have a history or a liklihood to comprise trolling material.

Back when the posts would be up for days almost all you could do was shit on them to pass the time of them coming down because there would be 4-5 such posts up there and it felt like they were here to stay no matter what
Now that they just get insta taken down I'm hoping the community reaction is more ignoring of them
Various features are always in development on the site. For now this is the best approach

I have done it already and will continue to do it!
Vermillion-Rx Admin 10mo ago
Excellent, that is much appreciated!

If you guys have an automated spam-filter of some sort, I nominate the term "my crush" for automatic ban + deletion.
Vermillion-Rx Admin 10mo ago
Do you have any other common troll themes you'd like to recommend I'm drawing a blank
Typo-MAGAshiv 1 10mo ago
The bully questions.
Durek_The_Bald 10mo ago
Yes, those. And again, it's the same kind of wording: "my bully", "my crush". Generally sounds like a 13 year old wrote it.

That's precisely what the spam bots are counting on to get past the filters.
Vermillion-Rx Admin 10mo ago
Spam filter still has human review involved. If someone has a legitimate post it would still get rightfully seen by the community

Fair enough.
Typo-MAGAshiv 1 10mo ago
Nah.
Someone who's supposedly a grown-ass man using the phrase "my crush" should be banned.
Vermillion-Rx Admin 10mo ago
Ohhhhhh
I read his comment and then came back. Forgot that. Anyway he has a point on the terms involved. Everything gets reviewed though
