Spam reporting thread #61

PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING SPAM

Distinguish between the following, and flag the highest level of the violation:

-- Type 1: Irredeemable commercial spam: make sure to flag the member's profile, as well as the spammy activity. This type includes things selling strollers, pharmaceuticals, live-streaming sports games, porn, and/or trying to create traffic/links to sites for such things. Sufficient profile flags will automatically result in temporary suspension and deletion of the member's activity, so use your profile-flagging powers wisely and carefully.

-- Type 2: Teachable moments: DO NOT flag the member's profile, but DO flag the violating activity (e.g. self-promotional Talk post, group, or local venue). This type includes promotional activity that violates the Terms of Service (TOS), but where the member is potentially redeemable, e.g. overzealous authors, overzealous publishers, or other members with small TOS violations but who are otherwise using the site legitimately. These cases should be reported to staff (by sending a message or email to staff and/or or posting on this thread), so the member can be taught how to use the site.

Specific procedures:
-- Overzealous authors or publishers (these fall under type 2): do NOT flag the member's profile. Report to staff here or privately. You can also send the member a polite message pointing them to the terms, mentioning the "no promoting" language, and pointing them to the Do's and Don't page for authors: http://www.librarything.com/about_authors.php
-- Suspected sock-puppetry to promote a book, write fake reviews, and/or stack ratings: do not flag the profile, but report to staff here or by message, so staff can investigate. This is a serious violation for which members can be permanently banned.
-- Profile flags for commercial spammers only (type 1): On the member's profile page, click on the "report for spam" link, then follow instructions to flag the member. Again, this is only for commercial spam, not for "overzealous" authors, publishers, or booksellers, which should be reported to staff instead. See Talk post: http://www.librarything.com/topic/85810
-- Spam or promotional posts in a Talk topic (type 1 or 2): flag the post as an abuse of the terms of service.
-- Spam or promotional groups (types 1 and 2): flag new groups using the "flag this group" link.
-- Spam lists: report in this thread, and flag the member if it's commercial spam.
-- Spam works (type 1 spam): flag the work as spam on the work's editions page, and then vote on proposed work spam. Make sure to read the guidelines before proposing or voting, especially for what is not spam. Voting page: http://www.librarything.com/spam_works.php
-- Spam in a review (type 1), or an explicitly promotional review (type 2): flag the review as an abuse of the TOS, using the red flag.
-- Spam or promotion in "published reviews," or other CK fields (type 1 or 2): post here and/or delete.
-- Spam or egregious promotion/advertising in venues or events (type 1 or 2): post here and/or delete. Note that authors are permitted to add events for their books.
-- Spam in book links / quick links: post here and/or edit to remove spam.
-- Spam author names listed on a work: No current procedure. Tim has asked us not to change CK to indicate spammers, and not to combine spam authors together.
-- Not sure if it's spam? Post here, and explain why.

Please note that Tim has asked us not to use either CK or the combining system (whether works or authors) for spam fighting.

The published review for this book, https://www.librarything.com/work/6856570/book/135099685#, contains a link to a commercial site in Indonesia (link removed), added by this member (link removed), while quoting the review of another LT member to make the review appear genuine.

(This member's) profile page also links to another commercial site: (link removed)

Edited to remove web links now the spam links and spammer profile have been deleted.

>2 passion4reading: You might want to remove those spam links from your post, as you are unwittingly accomplishing web presence for them.

>7 2wonderY: How do I do that, please? I experimented with and tags, but the URLs wouldn't reproduce.

>8 passion4reading: the link to the talk post, the work, the profile are all OK, as those are what you want people to Flag. What you want to avoid adding is the external website link.

Thanks Helen. I'm obviously not as clear on the outside as I am in my own head :^%

>14 2wonderY: This is the second profile posted here with that period at the end, and it took me till now to figure out that I can't do it the easy way. The URL created by LT (and in general, I'm sure) *shows* the dot at the end as the end of a sentence sort of punctuation, and eliminates it as part of the URL. This means that when I've clicked on it, I get the "this user doesn't exist" from LT, rather than the expected "This member has been provisionally suspended for unusual activity." It took me until this morning (and the second one of these) to be smart enough to just add the period at the end of the name manually (although a copy/paste would have also done it).

I point this out mostly for others who may be unawares. The other one is above, at >5 Helenliz:, and I admit to being disheartened, because it just shows that the little spammer creatures have learned a new trick.

Aha! I saw that period and wondered about it. Thanks for 'splainin' it.

Wiki spam by user Leo909 (Already suspended)

This topic, https://www.librarything.com/topic/279414, by member https://www.librarything.com/profile/loiskonope2., won't show up in the Spam folder, despite my flagging it twice; a result of the additional period at the end?

Flagging does NOT move things to the spam folder. There is an algorithm that tries to guess whether or not a message is spam. The messages the computer thinks might be spam get put in the spam folder. Then we have to decide whether or not that is the case, saving those that shouldn't be there.

Spam that the algorithm misses need to be flagged. Four flags on the spam will make it disappear. So will enough flags on the member to suspend. These still don't go into the spam folder. They disappear.

The member you mention is suspended. The topic is gone.

It would be good if those Spam Fighters who've been doing it for a long time could maybe explain to those are new to the group how the process works, seeing as some are clearly exasperated by comments and what they consider unnecessary flagging. I've read through the Wiki on spamming but a lot of questions remain. I thought we all have the same aim here; I didn't realise that certain members would get quite so possessive or feel competitive about the whole thing.

When someone erroneously leaves a message on Book Talk, requesting help with the finding of a book title, helpful LT members patiently direct them to the Name That Book group. Maybe it would be an idea for the powers that be to set up a page that new Spam Fighters could be sent to, so that established ones don't have to work themselves up quite so much, feeling they need to correct the well-intended efforts of others.

Since I've joined the group a few days ago I've already received flak four times, from three different members, when all I'm trying is to be helpful and give something back to the LT community. Right now I'm considering leaving the group; the time spent flagging spam could be spent reading, for example.

>29 passion4reading: what they consider unnecessary flagging

Okay, this intrigues me.

Each flag has an established and documented protocol. What is being flagged unnecessarily? Reviews? Posts? Profiles?

At the top of each Spam Reporting thread, there is a post that outlines exactly how and what to flag/Report.

If someone is being a bully, that's a TOS violation that should be reported to the Admin.

But also remember, this is text and we place our own context into what is placed on the screen, without the other 75% of the communication channel. What may be seen as exasperated or otherwise mean are actually just the succinct (and sometimes blunt) ways some people are.

Realize that, like the tag voting, everyone has an opinion on what is or isn't spam and that will lead to disagreements.

>30 gilroy:

What is being flagged unnecessarily? Reviews? Posts? Profiles?

I've seen a plenty of unnecessary (and wrong) flags on reviews. There are folks who will flag an author's review of his own work, even though that is explicitly permitted under the terms of service. And, of course, there are those who flag reviews because a) they disagree with the review, or, b) they don't understand what a flag is and think that it's a positive thing (really).

I've also seen people who are quick to flag posts and/or profiles if by someone who has just joined and not yet catalogued anything, apparently on the assumption that if you post before cataloguing you must be a spammer.

>31 lilithcat:

Well review flags have been contentious since they were introduced.

think that it's a positive thing (really).
And they're on a sight about books and reading? Uh ... I'll bite my tongue beyond that...

I've also seen people who are quick to flag posts and/or profiles if by someone who has just joined and not yet catalogued anything, apparently on the assumption that if you post before cataloguing you must be a spammer.
That's plain rude...

>29 passion4reading:

Please don't leave the group. We need all the help we can get! I'm sorry you've interpreted some of the replies to your posts as rude; I don't think they were meant that way.

Do check out the first post in every Spam Reporting Thread, as well as the links therein. This will give you some guidance.

And feel free to ask questions. If you are uncertain about whether something is spam, you can post in the "Is this spam?" threads: http://www.librarything.com/topic/274724

>33 lilithcat: That's a helpful link for questions - thank you.

>30 gilroy: in Spam reporting thread #60 I flagged, i.e. posted in the thread, several member profiles and topics that were clearly commercial spam, and hadn't been posted in the thread before, and one member commented, "Are you finding these items in the Spam folder? After following along with your last post, and then visiting the spam folder, I realized that you were posting things here that were only there. It's fine to point out that things need addressing there, but please don't post them all here", while another *helpfully* pointed out, "You really don't need to copy spam into here if it is already in the spam folder."

At that point I had no idea, and frankly I'm still a bit hazy on the subject, what exactly the Spam folder is. After I discovered that I could actually flag member profiles and click on a Spam? link in a particular topic, a list popped up and so I thought I had discovered it, which is what my post at >27 passion4reading: refers to; clearly not, as this then prompted MarthaJeanne's reply.

>33 lilithcat: Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated. I've decided to stay in the group, at least for now, because we all want to reduce the amount of spam being posted on LT. I've read the guidelines for flagging spam at the beginning of each new thread quite extensively, and other topics posted in the Spam Fighters group, but I'm still not entirely sure how it all works. I think it's easy to forget for those who've been Spam Fighters for a long time that they once were new to this (unless they have some IT background, of course) and they may start patronising those who still don't know the ropes (I don't mean you, lilithcat); where I come from, this is considered rude. A friendly (and patiently explained) nudge to how they would like to see things reported would do the trick much better.

As the relevant work has already been suppressed, I can't delete the spam posted in the haiku field, which now appears in https://www.librarything.com/more/haiku.

>36 passion4reading: Ah. I got it.

A tip for you passion4reading : When a work is suppressed, it's still possible to access that first page. There should be a link that says "View it here". Click on that, and you can go in and erase the spam Common Knowledge.

The one that you noted here was a beast. Every line had the same ad crap...

>37 gilroy: Where can I access that first page, please? It might be really obvious, but I can't see it.

>38 passion4reading: Ah, yes, that does help. :)

If it is a recent kill, you can look at the spam work options, selecting above threshold (and depending on if you voted to send it to spam or not Voted or Unvoted(?)) . It will be on the list.

If it is an older kill, that's a more difficult thing and you'd need to know the work number to hunt it down.

>80 Taphophile13: and >84 norabelle414: (etc) I think that lilithcat probably needs to update the top of the page with this new small item. I first noticed the problem a while back, and it took me a long time to understand it (after which I wanted to call the doctor and have him check my brain to make sure it was still there). I don't think I ever saw a profile with the period on the end before the last few weeks, and I'd bet that it slows down automated tools (whether here, or elsewhere).

I've never forgotten the amazement of news server administrators world wide when Clarence L. Thomas IV showed up in January 1994 with his crazy religious proclamation, which hit every single news server world wide, and caused general distraction of amazement that someone would do such a thing. I miss those early days, when the world was smaller, and more innocent.

Whew. You are all saved by my common sense intervening. This almost turned into a novella.

Thanks for fighting the good fight while we were out for the holidays, everyone! I've knocked down all the wiki spam I can find, and better automatic measures (i.e. when a user is marked as spam on the main site, they are also blocked on the wiki automatically) are in the pipeline. In the meantime, I'll keep patrolling the Recent Changes page.

If it weren't for the links, I wouldn't mind it, but that's a bridge too far.

She's been a member for over two years and can't even be bothered to catalog her own book? Not very good at self-promotion!

A request to all:

Some of the links here are extremely long. Please consider using an URL shortener such as Tiny URL: https://tinyurl.com/ when you encounter one of those, as they do not always break on some devices or os/browser configurations. So the page can get very stretched out and the font tiny.
