Note what happens in a lot (but not all) of cases:
since a lot of public forums have preventive measures in place, spammers believe they need to legitimise themselves first; they do it by copy / pasting existing genuine posts and having other accounts like them first
only then the post gets edited and a link inserted
Can the watched list be made to look at edits themselves as well, and pluck suspicious entries?
Please do consider not allowing new users (whatever defines one) post links outside of whitelisted domains. If at all feasible, ofc.
I also had my above post moderated and had to wait for manual approval, which I do not mind. So something is shifting, not sure about the direction being the right one, though.
Yeah, I wouldn’t hold this against them. Yes, I find it weird that there’s some variation of the same topic, or the occasional oddball thread about some code that isn’t native to Unreal Engine. But by far, the biggest outlier that I saw yesterday was people asking about how to do something in Unity.
But I mostly just ignore them on the off-chance that they might be an genuine user.
Interesting… Wonder who that could be. Have an ongoing bet with myself… So going to take a wild guess and presume, there’s a particularly interesting Panda floating around on here. Getting warmer or colder here? If you feel like saying @Nawrot…
Reasoning:
Always very polite replies, with zero spelling mistakes… Super-sincere super-encouraging, but quite light on engine or technical details. @Rama showed his hand once too with a telling comment. So maybe there’s a bot trained on Rama energy.
Right now, all I did was try to embed an Youtube vid and a link to Wikipedia and now all my stuff that was posted from 2 years ago is trapped in an moderation queue.
And it’s worth mentioning that they’re literally going after my participation in that DM tutorial, lmao.
Hey there @ScamBot45! I noticed that some may have been caught by some spam reduction measures due to a link also mentioning APK in it. Legitimate posts should be being reinstated. If any legitimate posts didn’t end up reinstated, let me know!
Spammers are still bypassing Epic filters (whitelisting not working). Suggestion: Stop new posters from EDITING posts (especially adding LINKS), unless they have at least 5-10 previously validated posts… Seems like a small sacrifice, that might also boost user interaction on here (that’s how it was once before iirc)… Won’t directly link to spam here, otherwise it’ll hit a moderated queue wall. So just search for SPAM titled ‘Tall Work Shirts’. There’s also this highly-suspect bot , setting up their next ‘edit-post / add-link’ later trick?
them first
