Hello! I wasn't 100% sure where to put this thread, so I thought I'd put it here.

Recently a member of my group messaged me saying two people had spammed our group forum very badly. I wanted to know if there was anything any of the mods or Achronos. could do, Or if I have to delete all of it myself. I already blacklisted both of the members, but I don't want 3 pages of spam sitting in my group.

Nah sorry, we can't do anything as we have no power or authority outside of the main forums. The best you could do is blacklist and delete everything. Achronos rarely intervenes with group matters so I wouldn't count on him.

Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

I think you have to get rid of it yourself. You have the power to do so, and I would guess that Achronos would expect you to do it yourself. I don't think he could do anything different that would make the work go faster, and most likely by the time he could do something you could get rid of it yourself.

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

Moderators are a bunch of no good, do nothing jerkpoopies. Can't moderate groups...pssh. You wouldn't say that if you were paid minimum wage.

Thank you guys.

Oh, I forgot to mention; It won't let me delete most of the threads. I am the Chapter Leader and I have full control but whenever I try to delete the threads, it directs me to This page cannot be displayed everytime.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

I'm thinking a cool feature that could be added to the groups could be if a member is blacklisted from the groups forum, then his or her posts will be automatically deleted. Just like the system here on the main forums.

Or if you wanted to delete more than one thread, there should be checkboxes beside each, like there is with email.

Hey, if we can't delete pages of spam easily, then you shouldn't be able to either.

Not deleted, just hidden. Which is the same as what happens on the main forums.

Note, we have to delete actual THREADS manually, which is what I think the question was about.

There might be something you can do. Just not involving any of the moderators.

Anyways, the people that can accept or reject members Private Message them not to let suspicious members in, they could be the same two people on different accounts.

Also, moderators can have nothing to do with groups (except deleting it for bad reasons). A user can spam as much as they want, without getting Blacklisted in the regular forums. Be careful who you give power to, because some groups that I was in, have temporary Blacklisting on their first security role. Giving too much power into the wrong hands could get your group destroyed. Usually, in good groups there is only one Full Control user, and that is the founder of the chapter.

Don't be so sure. I had mega-spam in a bunch of my groups, and he was willing to blacklist the people who did it. Unfortunately, he didn't, because I had no solid proof of it happening.

Moderators do whatever they bloody well feel like, just like anyone else.

I didn't swear. If I swore I would make sure everyone would know. Sorry if I offended anyone with that statement but I don't consider that swearing at all.
