6.1 RC6 doesn't lockout posters

Postby FriedLocust » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:14 am

I have all the bloody morons who spam their trojans unfiltered before me. Only a red circle with a minus shows they are spammers? Is it broken or is there a new option? RC4 was hidding all these.
I know quade's stance on this topic, but I really prefer those spammers hidden.

Not sure what you mean about Quade's stance, but the feature works fine here. Do you mean you want them hidden with absolutely no filtering being done? I'd just delete them in that case. You're not hiding anything anymore, you just want them wiped from the face of the earth, that's what delete is for, and there's no processing charge every time you load posts.

Quade stated once that filtering the spammers doesn't make much sense to him, because they can post with another posters email addy that some would never put on the revoke list.

Mr.a is on my dirty rotten spammers list, before rc6 he got filterd out and I would never see anything from him, now nothing happens.

Yeah, but I wuld have to delete them every time they spam by hand, tedious. Or is there a way to delete them automatically? (via filter I presume)

If you simply enable filters, and select 'None', then it should work for you. Completely disabling filters means 'show everything I have on disk', which is what it seems to be doing there.
