We are correct. Here's the 4th (and still counting):

Here's a new one, currently polluting SPAM Forum:

When you see such spammers, please use the "Alert a Moderator" function on the post.
This will generally get much quicker action. cblaisd, Co-Moderator Technical Support forum |

Spam attack happening right now by user TeraBaap - so far posts in CommunityBuzz and the Suggestion Box, I'm about to modalert all of them.
Edit to add: All current posts reported. |
User hrag has posted several spam posts in the Suggestion Box this morning. Will start modalerting each of them now.
Edit: Modalerts done. |

My understanding is we only need to report 1 post. Moderators will pick up the other 4. |

That was the 3rd phone number spammer I have notice in the last 12 hrs. Several more in the last few days. Guess they are premium phone numbers that you pay $$ to phone.
My understanding is we only need to report 1 post. Moderators will pick up the other 4. There indeed has been a spam storm, appearing to be from the same India source. They’re persistent and spoof many IP addresses to prevent us blocking the actual source, and we’ve noticed they’re bombing a number of sites. Thank you for notifying us of spam when you see it. (Note: in fora without appointed Moderators, the reports go to the Senior Moderator Team.) JDiver, Co-Moderator, Tech. Support & Feedback and The Suggestion Box fora |
Ok, so just so I'm clear (and maybe this needs to go in the Wiki so that everyone is clear):
If it's multiple posts by the same person in the same forum, only one alert is needed. If it's multiple posts by the same person in different fora, one alert per forum is needed. If it's multiple users (same forum or not), alert all of them. Please let me know if I've crossed my wires on this... thanks! |

The longer version: Not really, but it really helps, because the earlier a Moderator becomes aware the sooner we can ban and each forum’s Moderators can clean up the spam. Otherwise, we will normally clean up our forum / fora, and ask the Senior Moderator Team to clean across multiple fora. So the multiple notifications are apt to result in faster action (as we Mods are volunteers, spread out globally and work, travel, etc.) If it's multiple users (same forum or not), alert all of them. Yes. The alerts come over the transom (well, email) about specific posts. Often we will check our fora for other spam, but if we’re busy with other things it’s easier for us to know about multiple spammers with multiple notices.. Please let me know if I've crossed my wires on this... thanks! JDiver, Co-Moderator |

ID Forum under attack...
Starting about an hour ago, ID Forum has been targeted by the same group of spammers. I've spotted and reported 4, assuming all 4 from the same (Indian) source. Only one is suspended. I suspected more will pop up in the coming hours, if not minutes.
Thanks for taking care of them promptly. |
