Spam content no need to be deleted, better to be replaced by spammer email address.

Flole Systems - I noticed some new spam today.

As I live on the other side of the planet from you, I would be happy to delete spam when I see it. Please let me know if this would be helpful.

I offered to do the same about a year ago. Just trying to spread the load. Nothing changed though. All you can do is offer to help.

Several this morning, by Everett James

As Saen said, an email address is more useful than a (possibly false) name.

Sorry about that. Yes I know that the name is probably fake. I will try better next time.

I don’t think that will be an issue for much longer. Apparently plans are afoot to replace the Redmine forum but no timeline has been given to date. Unfortunately we will have to endure spam email notifications for a little longer. Not too much longer I hope.

OK. Not that Spam har been an overwhelming problem either. OTOH are all forum apps vulnerable to some extent, unless you enforce manual vetting.

When I was a sysop at the Novell NNTP forums, I wrote a SpamNuker app that the rest of the crew could use. You could nuke spam on all subgroups, based on selected criteria.

It didn’t help that basically the forum was slowly abandoned over the years. What administrators were left in the intervening years did not have full administrative rights for the forum so could not adequately deal with this issue.

Hopefully going forward the individuals now in charge of the project will not allow a repeat of this situation.

There is a background working on case
needed convert redmine forum content to

https://new.tvheadend.org

any help accepted

Bloody hell. Would it not have been an idea to post that little nugget on this forum. I can’t speak for others but I’m not a mind reader or an active ESP operative.

The top-secret? new forum location link was posted (to you specifically) two months ago: https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/50974?r=50989#message-50989

Flole will make a news post with more details on the forum swap shortly I hope.

NB: At this point you've ignored all invites to 'team' things so our working assumption is that you are content to be a forum regular and nothing more.

What invites ??

I emailed an intro and discord invite to the address you are registered to this forum with on 13th December. In case that email is bad you've also been asked via comments in the other thread to drop me an email so one can be sent. I've also made the same suggestion to "mralapete" via GitHub comments on the assumption this is also you (due to that user having identical tone/language and issue focus). chewitt@ tvheadend/kodi/libreelec domains all work reliably.

NB: the invite link previously sent has expired. It can be resent if needed.

Sorry. I have completely missed that. CAn I have an invite too?

Your email invites possibly ended up in spam here.

I think at this stage with a comment like

“ (due to that user having identical tone/language and issue focus)”

I’ll respectfully decline the offer. I imagine we’d only end up locking horns anyway. Looks like my gut instinct from the outset was correct from my perspective. I’ll gladly remain as a mere user though.

You may also want to address your own tone too. You are not addressing employees on the TVH forum. One could be forgiven for thinking that.

Like others in the past here I do feel you appear to be spreading your resources rather thin. I do hope that the TVH project doesn’t suffer as a result.

Best of luck with your endeavours though and I do hope you can generate enough traffic/interest towards the new forum to stimulate productive exchanges.

Sorry, the poster email is not visible to me.
