Seriously, y'all would not believe how much spam there is. DrSuperEvil is a hero for going through the queue. I'm doing some, but I have to admit I often forget.
@LucidIguana Oh wow, that's quite... 78 pages... that's huge. How to keep track of what is real spam from what is not? You can't just go through eatch pages? How to prevent/reduce the spamming at all? Not what is seen by the users, but globally even what is filtered.
That's 78 pages since we made the switch. It seems to be about a page of spam a day, so it's not unconquerable as long as we remember to keep an eye on it.
You guys should see some of the other communities spam. CurseForge is a massive target at the moment, and we're dealing with a new "generation" of spam bots.
Also hi :]
I haven't left you guys. I just realized I haven't updated everyone in a long while. Some things internally shifted around, and we're working on some pretty gnarly overhauls and migrations on our backend at the moment. Dev resources have been entirely sucked away (we're working on a remedy for that right now). Training and moving people around. I'm spending a lot of time just trying to manage queues and backlogs.
We're working on getting a couple of guys dedicated just to community development work. I hate putting you guys off for so long, but hands are tied.
90% are from a single male enhancement site and some are advertising Christmas discounts from 2011 so I think it is more a case of some zombie computer somewhere that still remembers us.

ya sure he's still listening, guys? he arrived, ruined our site, and left..
If Mr.Flamegoat never would've shown up after the initial announcement, that might be correct. But he did talked to us, including creating this feedback topic.
A while ago he said that everyone at Curse is busy. Even if he had the time and knowledge to change things on this website all on his own, he still needs the ok from upper management.
I'm sure the 5 or so other software engineers on this forum agree when I say that this is not a simple or fast matter to resolve. Good things take time, so please be patient.
While I'm at it, here are some links to resolve the two biggest issues at the moment: Use the classic skin to change the color scheme, and use Google search as a workaround for the sometimes buggy forum search option.
I would avoid using a weblink as a thread title.

By spam you mean real spam or "false positive" posts that are not spam but flagged as spam? Or maybe even both...
Whenver I see a thread or post with spam I report asap.
Working on projects:
Real spam that comes in droves and gets eaten by the filter.
Can we also get some of the old pastes restored?
In particular
https://www.sc2mapster.com/paste/7445
and
https://www.sc2mapster.com/paste/7408
Still alive and kicking, just busy.
My guide to the trigger editor (still a work in progress)
What is a paste?

Hi, MrFlamegoat,
It would be *very convenient if users could search for all projects and asset pages created by another user within the members search fields.
Currently, I just randomly do forum searches, maybe i'll get lucky.... usually not.

sorry guys

He is just a spokes person, nbot the person responsible for the changes. I admit the frustration on my side is kicking hard tho.

Well the breaking of all uploaded maps in our 7 year history was bad.
