Hi all,

from now on neverendingo is super moderator and helps to hold this forum clean from spam and to move threads that are in the wrong section!

it would be very very nice to get more help! everyone criticize that here is so much spam, but nobody helps!
it's hard for me alone to delete all the time all this spam! i need help.
everyone knows about the spam, so postings concerning this are not needed, helping hands are needed!

thank you in advance.

I second that, especially since 4.1 is near and people are already asking if a link to this site should be deleted from the main kde site.

Hi Herbert,

Please let me help clean up all the spam here. I can be a moderator or just a "deleter". Just tell me what to do.

Hi Herbert,

I don't have the time to be a full blown moderator, but if you temporarily need an extra pair of hands to clean up this mess, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Hey, guys, what can we do in order not to receive these spams selling nike sox, cialis, viagra etc...?

Requiring registration is the first step! Dear lord. I just stumbled on this site as I continue my love for kde 4 and I almost mistook this site for a parked domain. Require registration, require a turing test, and there you go! CAPTCHA just doesn't work anymore!

On second thoughts, they seem quite spaced out anyway, maybe a very simple turing test is the only reliable way to do it.

P.S. thanks for the good work so far

Would a turing test on each post solve it?

Or maybe a limit on posts per user in a certain period of time, eg no more than 1 post in the space of two minutes - realistically to type a post worth reading it'll take at least that, so no harm done to genuine posters.

I don't know why they (the spammers) bother sometimes - really, who bothers to read this stuff?
