What's going on with the forum?

What's going on with the forum?

Several dozen strange users are likely bots.

Disappear somewhere Content. Russian users have had 44 topics, and left 35. Where did they go?

Re: What's going on with the forum?

Posts are not deleted,if they are marked as deleted or spam they are not visible.

This can be reversed with undelete or not spam so the post is normal and it will be visible on the Forum again.

I reviewed Post status: all which includes normal,deleted,spam posts from Forum: Russian Support since April 2012.

I could see no deleted or spam posts that are legitimate content that should be changed to normal.

Re: What's going on with the forum?

Now I can see 45 threads in the Russian support forum. Ok?

I've deleted once these dosens of spammer account yesterday and the day before yesterday. But they registered again and all went back (maybe he reuse existing spam mail addresses). Better way is waiting while spammers being blocked.

Good thing Akismet! Really I saw spam only once for these monthes while Akismet being provided (our admins do the job too, of course).

Re: What's going on with the forum?

Yeah, it's pretty effective. I wouldn't have liked to clean the mess caused by 25+ spammer accounts we got yesterday. In the past they used to post like 5-10 posts, so that would have been alot to clean up.

What I do notice coming through is the tags they use. I cleaned that up earlier.

Re: What's going on with the forum?

Yay! We're under strong attack! Can you believe?

Now I'm dig only one IP and can't view full picture, but:

From IP 210.16.215.10 (South Korea) we have 154 spammed messages deleted.

Just imagine: post spam -> blocked -> create new account -> post spam ...

PS:

61.100.181.205 (Korea) 59 spams

219.254.9.217 (Korea) 70 spams

Re: What's going on with the forum?

How would a moderator remove a spam-account? I found a certain account which obviously is spammer, one single post about some surgeries and such...

Re: What's going on with the forum?

Just mark the post as spam. Done enough times and Aksmit should learn to ban the person.

Re: What's going on with the forum?

Really it's a glitch, and I don't know how to fix it!

Please, go into Russian Support. Do you see 2 pages with 15 topics each? I see, but you can reach 4 pages! With 50 posts current.

You can go to page 2 and change number in the browser's address bar or follow these links directly:

page 1 · page 2 · page 3 · page 4

PS: Take a look into forum's title page.

Do you see a negative numbers in the number of topics column?

I afraid forum engine is broken.

Re: What's going on with the forum?

I've looked at my posts and saw that they were in place.

Now looking topics and saw that they, too, on the spot, just not displayed.

Negative numbers in the column of the home page so I see.

I guess this problem will be solved. That the topics on the site, I was reassured. smile

Re: What's going on with the forum?

I've got the Power … wink

To minimize database queries, bbPress keeps it's own count of various items like posts in each topic and topics in each forum. Occasionally these internal counters may become incorrect, you can manually re-count these items using this form.

… and I just re-count topics and posts in every forum. Voila!

Re: What's going on with the forum?

It's all about SEO (search engine optimization).

Spammer leaves dosens of links in various forums/blogs/his profiles, search bot like Google or Yandex finds these links, and if all seems ok then these links climbs up in the search output of search engine.
