Why are daily puzzle spammers repeatedly repeating their non-sense SPAMs day after day?

Sort:
trimalo

I was told that there is a chess.com moderator checking the daily puzzle. I really wonder since every day we see the same spammers old or new ones. Why not block them so that spammers could be taught a lesson? 

I purposely didn't mention any name of spammers.

What are they "repeatedly repeating"?

Im not sure what this is talking about?

Hmm.  Well, as annoying as it is to you when someone posts a comment like "EZ", it isn't  normally considered a big problem.  However, comments that are considered abusive or racist can result in mutes and or account closings if repeated.

@justbefair what about those writing "Easy" 200 times? or asking for friends 5 different times or...

@nuffsed it is written in the sentence wink, just look for the complement of the verb which is "non-sense SPAMs".

Other chats impose chat ban periods for spamming. 7 days chat bans are common for persistent spam after warnings.

Just like in the forums, not every single post is getting read. Moderators check reported comments and some may be moderating those comments in general.

 

But not everything any specific member dislikes is going to be something that will be moderated.

@martin_stahl I understand your point thank you; I am only speaking of daily puzzle comments where spammers are numerous day after day, no change whatsoever, hence my question

I have to thank chess.com for getting rid of an avatar of ruthless North Korean dictator Kim Jung_Un and another one of Adold H.

@Martin_Stahl: the spamming referred to involves a dozen people who send multi-page spams of "easy" so that there are about 120 pages of it, completely disrupting the thread. I reported this and the mod cleaned it all out, but the people doing this started again the next day.

Maybe just the names have changed

It says that there are more than a million people solving the Daily Puzzle.

Today there were 1.7 million.

I saw only 31 pages of posts. Not 120 pages.

But even if it was 120 pages of "EZ", why should anyone care?

You do the puzzle. You come back tomorrow.

You didn't see the 120 screens of spam because the mod removed them. And my mistake - I meant 120 screens, not pages.

@Martin_Stahl: If, at the time of this post, you look at the comments for today's Daily Puzzle, you will see what I am talking about. (Puzzle title is something like "Knights Stamp of Approval.") This is assuming a mod doesn't clean it all up before you see it.)

Thats a lot of Rs. Obviously those people typing that and the people quoting it don't have a life.

justbefair

Once someone has solved the puzzle, who would bother to read more than one page of the Daily Puzzle threads?

trimalo

@justbefair allow me a simple question: Is it a reason to repeatably allow spamming comments? 

and to your question Sir "why should anyone care?" simply because we look for good threads from Leslie or Lokazi which are much faster than to watch a video. 

I appreciate that you got rid of 2 brutal dictators who have no place under any circumstances on this forum. 

Last but not least spammers damage chess.com's image (there are fewer ones on other chess apps...).

Thank you.

Suggestion: 7 negative opinions== > blocked for 2 weeks.

Simple and would reduce the spammers drastically and improve chess.com's image. Who agrees?
