Looks like the spammers found a loophole. I don’t see a ban button on tea entries :/
Zeestshop is too old, but I did get signaturepool

Cleared those out.

FYI, they’ve have always been to add teas. I just go through every couple weeks and clear them out.

This is an actual tea company…were they doing something questionable?

Would someone please nuke this jerk’s account and the two dozen or so forum posts he just spammed Steepster with (re: live streaming all manner of crap)? Thanks. http://steepster.com/trump

Wouldn’t it help, @Jason, if people couldn’t make a bunch of discussions at once, or, for example, you have to at least rate a tea in order to start discussions?

@Felipe If I’m remembering correctly…I think we do have some throttling on discussion posts, but I could be wrong. We also run new content through a relatively well known database to check for spam before it gets posted, but spam is always evolving and we just haven’t been able to keep the site on the cutting edge of spam prevention. Also, to a certain extent, if a human is manually entering the data (which is probably most cases here with teas and discussion posts) there’s not much we, or really most sites for that matter, can do to prevent it. But we could obviously be better about cleaning it up faster, maybe one day we’ll be able to dedicate resources to updating that…
