Consequently you will be dealt with as a spammer. Unless you report it mods don't know about it, we don't spend all day, unlike yourself, in these forums looking for spam. We have lives and music to make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurre Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Ok ok. I confess. I look away and hope someone else take care of it. I'm a despicable person. Very bad. Have a nice day. 😘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 (edited) yeah 'cause hitting the ellipsis ("•••"), selecting Report, and checking a couple of boxes is a tough one... Edited November 8 by Glenn Stanton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always found someone has deleted the spam I reported and has removed the offenders' accounts. Some times it even gets deleted before I am done reporting an account's spam.

On each message there are three dots in the upper right corner (unless you are zoomed in too much). Click on that; select Report; choose Spam if you are sure its spam. For languages I don't understand, I used Google's Translate feature with the Detect Language setting. Edited November 9 by user 905133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My takeaway was there there is indeed spam detection but that some spam managed to get through and tweaks were then made in such a way as to not impede legitimate posts. Sorry, but I have too much to do today to look up those posts, but I do remember them. PS: BTW I am no so sure it is a good idea to advertise the spam detection algorithm.

Sorry, but I have too much to do today to look up those posts, but I do remember them. fair enough, but "fine tuning spam detection" lol is bullshit, and for an online company to not be able (or unwilling to bother) to prevent/block spam is a big red flag - imagine using the bandlab social media functionality, what data is being lost there? this is the only forum/website i see this amount of spam, and websites are my work for the last 25 plus years, it's really sad to me (not including the almost as long time i've used cakewalk/sonar products) weep weep etc /fwiwandasyouwere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
