Please REPORT SPAM even if you are not a moderator. Just click on the spam post, go next to the spammer User's name and a sign with an exclamation point will come up. Click on that, type in spam in the text box and choose Requires Moderator's Attention. Done. Please help out! Don't let it just sit on our forums making us look bad...also it makes Curse aware of the problem.
Did you notice we are finally linked at the bottom of the webpage with all the other Curse websites???
Generally speaking, you don't need to report every piece of spam.
- If one spammer makes multiple posts, one report will take care of all of them. When we remove a spam account we also remove everything they have posted.
- The team checks the forums throughout the day at random intervals. We also check the forums anytime a report comes in. This site doesn't yet have the same level of spam protection as some of the newer sites, so when we see a report, we usually come over and remove anything that has shown up since our last check.
We really appreciate the reporting. It helps us find and get rid of spam. Hopefully we will have a better system in place soon.

I'd say please check every day between 6 and 7 AM EST. I'm come online and the place is all spammed up. I also was gone for a few days and the general forum had like 25 spam posts in it. Pretty bad.
What is the timeline for the new site? I think we will pretty much take anything that deals adequately with the spam. The next SC2 expansion (Lotv) launches in 8 days...so having it before then would be pretty nice because folks will be looking for new content....also also several modders are going to be posting campaigns on the Arcade timed with the release of Lotv...

Anyways...
Spam is heaviest when people are sleeping. People are usually checking after 8am CST. Between 5pm- 8am (non office hours) spam generally will only be taken care of if its reported.
I do not know the timeline for the update. Kaelten posted some info in this thread . I know the dev team is working on it, but website dev isn't my expertise. All I know for sure is, its being worked on and its coming.
I have gotten use swimming on spam that an hour i dont see 3 spam here is an odd day. Im tired of reporting it. I think my reports of spam were like 7 to 13 a day and still here we are. So keep on swimming, keep on swimming cause curse people really get annoy of having to open their browser and look in sc2mapsters. They dont like it, curse really dosent make money out this site. So really we are the ugly ducky that they dont want to look at.

but we got the most beautiful swan swimming among all those ducks here.
That's a false dichotomy and you know it - there are other ways to deal with spam other than cutting access to the internet or just reporting spam. Neither of these options produce a good outcome evidently.
I do know it. I'm also tired of people whining about curse not doing anything about it, when they're building a whole new site for us, that will actually have filters to deal with spammers.
The framework of this website has always been wonky, and we can use a new one. It takes time though, so in the meantime quit whining and report.

I admit, its an ongoing battle. Most days I just pretend I am playing whack-a-bot. Someone needs to make a clicker style game "Battle of the Spam Bots".
I am from Curse. And I do not find this community annoying at all. SC2 isn't my preferred game, but the community seems quite nice.
And yes, reporting does help. Sometimes the thread titles are really obvious as spam, sometimes though thread titles "seem" normal. I've even had some I started to flag as spam and upon reading saw it was a real thread. That means that to get rid of spam without reports, we need to read every thread, which causes quite a delay.
The older forums like sc2 can be finicky when trying to eliminate spam and spammers. Which does mean spam slips through much more often here than on some of the newer sites.

its pointless; it's just treating the symptom. there's nothing us USERS can do about it, until the cause of the spam is dealt with.

We could destroy the internet yes (which is the source of spam), or we could simply report spam, and help alleviate the problem.
Still alive and kicking, just busy.
