Defacto Spammer Label

Karebac · Mar 3rd 2009

I have not visited this excellent forum in a while. I am recommending it to some programmers on Facebook. When I visited just now, I notice "I am a spammer". So, I logged in and updated my profile, and said NO to "I am a spammer." Just curious what this is all about.

Re: Defacto Spammer Label

Karebac, a lot of spammers use bots to sign up and then post their spammy links. The "I'm a Spammer" option defaults to "YES" so we can tell at a glance who to ban. There other common traits, so genuine users are checked each day in case they have changed the CP options and not noticed the default "YES" for that field.
