By the time of writing this, there are about 9 topics created by brand new or newbie accounts in
Altcoin Discussion promoting a project called "Magic Square".
I'm pretty sure there will be more coming in shortly because they are on a mission to promote this project at any cost, it's serial shilling as we all know it.
The point is, how many topics/threads is one going to report by opening them one by one? Can't there be a way to report keywords to mods or admins that would serve as a suggestion for them to ban a certain keyword to avoid temporary spam such as the one I have mentioned above?
Update: Most of the topics and posts are deleted and users are banned thanks to users who have reported them, especially LoyceV for adding the keyword under the spam category in
his website that had helped me find and report a bunch of them.
However, it could still be easier to do this if mods could implement a keyword ban on titles or something similar that could reduce the spam and the need for manually reporting every single thread/topic.
I see this working and not working in favor of the forum.
On one hand we definitely could get rid of the people who spam and push SEO strategies like that in here, cause it's not gonna work unless we interact with them, deeming these tactics useless and forcing these fucking clowns to look for other ways to actually gather their new audiences, perhaps even better and more natural ways if I do say so myself. On the other hand however, people easily overlooking these exploitative parts of the spectrum in favor of their peace of mind may put the whole forum in Jeopardy for the newbie audiences. Cause more people not seeing these kinds of posts would mean less reports about them coming into the Mods' radars, when that happens these posts can stay for longer and might victimize those that aren't really savvy with how the forum works or how the crypto industry operates.
