83445 Bun, that's a good idea, and include the URL of the member profile in your flag message.

Nope. The flag goes away if the message does.

83445 Thanks for letting us know that Rivka. It's good to know and I'll keep it in mind for when this happens again.

669573 Egads. That "newest spammer" is still going strong.

2417140 He's in like 59 groups, they will probably all get scmmed

They definitely will. It's the only reason they've joined the groups and Goodreads.

171430 Persistent bugger. Keep reporting him if he creates new IDs again.


message 58: by Kathrynn (new)

669573 Awe, I was hoping to see a "poof he's gone." "-)


message 59: by rivka (new)

171430 Well, he IS. ;)


message 60: by Kathrynn (new)

669573 Ah, the posts or comments do stay. The name changed to "deleted member" though.

Thanks Rivka!


message 61: by rivka (new)

171430 Hmm. They shouldn't, not when the member is deleted administratively.

Here's one of the posts.


message 63: by rivka (new)

171430 That's a link to the group. I think you mean this, although it has been deleted one way or another.


message 64: by Kathrynn (new)

669573 Wait. That was Isis posting in that "good group" topic created by "deleted member." I think her post flagging it is what caused the topic to remain. She'll delete it as soon as she sees that, I'm sure.

Thanks again, Rivka.

946249 I poofed the topic :) His initial post was gone, by mine was still there.

Yesterday (or whenever it was), the one in the Nora Roberts group still had the person's post, but said 'deleted member.' Maybe it takes the system a little bit to catch up to the deletion. Dunno.


message 66: by Lisa (new)

83445 If you get rid of the member without deleting the post, it might remain. If you simply delete the post the topic and other messages will remain. You can delete your own post. If you're a mod you can also delete the entire topic/thread.


message 67: by Kathrynn (new)

669573 Like a bad dream, he's BACK! Posting that same--confusing--message as fast as he can.


message 68: by rivka (new)

171430 And gone.

And he's already back. I flagged him in another group.

369169 http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/28897...

yup. flagged him in the Christopher Moore group. He is unstoppable! This is really silly now.


message 72: by Stephen (new)

2059576 Ahmed in the Poe group. Flagged him. I think he's having a blast. Could we send him a blast of spam busting, viral loaded, Ahmed computer killer something? anything?


message 73: by Lisa (new)

83445 Flagged him in the banned books group.

I wonder if it would ever help if Goodreads sent a message to spammers/serial spammers before deleting their "membership" status. Probably not, but simply deleting them often doesn't work either.


message 74: by Abigail (new)

424514 He's posted in the Children's Books group, as well as the L.M. Montgomery group (Kindred Spirits), I deleted the topic in both...


message 75: by rivka (new)

171430 Gone. (And there were almost 20 flags on his posts.)
