Does that mean you actually delete rather than the more sane technique of simply marking as deleted? You guys need may need to rethink.

We mark as deleted.
The issue is that we need messages to get a certain number of "span" voted before we're willing to say it's spam. If a message is below the spam threshold and then marked as deleted it'll never get the chance to go over the threshold. Our system simply won't get a chance to consider it as spam

Shouldn't this be a sticky post then?

Might be an idea to make this a sticky?
Perhaps expanded to explain what is spam, and what abuse, and how you report it?

Even removed posts are getting indexed,so i'm sure that if we wait for x no of reports for message to be considered as a spam,spammer will get what he is upto,with higher possibility than what it is now.

Sounds good.
Another issue, is that quite a few messages from those of us in the vanguard of spam control are still getting moderated. Is there any way the filter could ignore all messages from selected members? Or are these messages needed to help the filter in its learning?
|
|
|
|
|
Think it's because you often put the subject of the spam in your titles/message bodies. For example 'live-streaming' 'health pills etc'. Surely the filter is going to think your messages are spam because they word match. Should just put Spam as the title.
(tried making this point several times here, to no avail)
|
|

No, I never do that, I merely list where the message has been posted in the title, and add a link to the spammer's account in the body. However, most of the messages I post that do go to the moderation queue are not posted in this forum.

They don't care, because it's still indexed by Google and therefore getting a higher Google rating. Just try to google site:codeproject.com vashikaran
That said, I'll post a suggestion in sugs&bugs about that.

Spammer is still actively posting. I and at least one other are marking messages as spam then deleting them. It may take a while for the filters to learn though.
Kick away!
