I have just noticed Spam posts on the general forum. On some other forums I have seen, there is a button for users to mark the post as spam once they are a reputable user, multiple users marking a post as such would hide it until a moderator decides what to do with it. Although this forum is well monitored by admins, I think this is a good idea as posts of this nature would quickly be dealt with...

I agree with you on this feature.

+1 !!
Lately spam in this forum has aggravated.
To add my to cents a Reputable User should be someone who has a karma higher than, say 100, or had been registered for at least X days. Furthermore the post of a Reputable User will be immune to the blocking described here to avoid the problems shown here

It's great idea Eduardo, but in my opinion it should be a higher amount of karma. It should be a combination of boths things. It can be for example based on the "Best rated members the last year", not month or overall karma. It's common that some users are very active for first few days, get 100-500 points of karma and dissapear. They can effectively spoil the vote or deliberately vote to the disadvantage of other users.

But it is an idea worth focusing on.

Hi Patryk, it would be unhelpful in my opinion to restrict it too much... It is unlikely to be abused as most people just want to help, and the system relies on more than one person so an abusive user can mark as many posts as they want, but if it is not done by a number of other people, then the post would remain.

Hi

Maybe you're right a little. But but I still think that it should not be widely available. This persons should act like a moderator, to make the work of nopCommerce members as small as possible.  Too many people will cause more harm than good.

Hello All,

Don't you think someone in nopCommerce team should and must do something to minimize or stop this SPAMS.. This is too much annoying and frustrating..

Every time a new email pops up.. I think that it must be a good question on forum and someone needs help and then what I see.. is a bunch of SPAM posts.. and then I end up deleting emails from inbox..

Huhh..

I agree with you both. I guess to get the Moderator role a karma of 500+ should be required to hide (not to delete) posts. Later Nop team will review and delete hidden post  and when a moderator is maliciously hiding posts he will be penalized/banned.

I am totally agree with you.

nopCommerce team need to do like stackoverflow.

More information here: How does Stack Overflow handle spam?

What is the exact definition of “spam” for Stack Overflow?

Thanks,
