Spam reporting thread #54

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.

I'm having a bit of trouble with this posting:

http://www.librarything.com/topic/235377#

I've looked at the profile, and the only books in her library list her as the author. She just joined this year, and (far as I can tell) has had no other activity until that post.

http://www.librarything.com/profile/AlliePleiter (Please don't flag the profile.)

(Her author profile looks like it could use some kind attention from the Combiners as well, since I see at least three titles that appear at least twice.)

I dunno. I flagged the post (because I'm cynical and heartless), but have not posted on the profile. It's kind of borderline, and I'm willing to be persuaded that I'm wrong. Maybe.

The post definitely seems spammy to me. She's obviously trying to push traffic to her blog.

the only books in her library list her as the author

That's pretty typical of LT authors.

I combined the books.

>15 lilithcat: It's typical of *some* LT authors...mostly those that are merely looking to expand their audience. There are many that are here to participate, and contribute, and just happen to be authors as well.

No question at all on this one.

Looks like they're using an affiliate link. I think pushing the book for $$$, on account of the interest from the movie. (There's a movie?) (Then again, I never read the book, either...)

>44 Lyndatrue: It now has 7 flags. I was trying to be patient about it over the weekend, but I really had hoped that someone would do something about it today.

http://www.librarything.com/profile/brooksknight

I'm willing to be persuaded that I was too quick to flag, but I'm clear that Book Talk could fill up with this sort of thing in a heartbeat. Maybe someone wants to leave a note on the profile that there's a group for Easton Press?

ETA: I took my flag off. I haven't left a note on the profile, although I'm considering a reply to the original post on Book Talk.

>116 Lyndatrue: Similar http://www.librarything.com/topic/239299

Yes, Book talk could fill up with stuff very quickly. Please leave any messages on the profiles so the topics can be flagged away.

I'm thinking those folks intended their posts to be in the Easton Press group, of which they are members.

Why was this group flagged?

>121 southernbooklady: The flag is gone now, though, right?

I think it was mentioned over on "Is this spam?" rather than here, and it's a pity there's no counter-flag (although at least the flagger can remove their flags, and it looks like that's what happened.

>122 Lyndatrue: it was, thanks to the LT staff. If I had seen the other thread I would have stepped in and said something. It's actually a group of bookish friends of mine looking for a new online home. I think LT will be perfect for us, so I'm glad the flags are gone.

Folio Society is filling up with spam posts...

I rescued a post by a new author because his profile was flagged for death.

https://www.librarything.com/profile/MAHESHGU
https://www.librarything.com/topic/240898

I left him a note to email staff.

MarthaJeanne, I see you left him a note. Did others flag his profile?

I only flagged the message and left messages for him and Lorannen.

He's still 'alive' so I would guess that nobody flagged him. He was just slotted into the spam area automatically.

>167 MarthaJeanne: Yeah, that shouldn't have happened. All looks well now, though.

I flagged the profile. Enough is enough.

>179 lilithcat: Well, *that* was some serious excitement for a minute or so.

Account hammered. Topics will be gone quickly enough.

It's going to be a tough night, if there've already been three or four of these attacks getting through. Perhaps it's the holiday, and they're attempting to take advantage.

We've recently killed another attempt in talk.

And of course, our daily Shelly is here:

At least he's added a few books other than his own since then.

No, 'all' those books were added in July 2013.

Member for almost a year and a half and no books added - Sniff!

>206 2wonderY: It was clear from the wording of the one I listed - 'I hope nobody minds ...' that the member knew this was questionable behaviour.

>206 2wonderY: If you left a note on the profile, there's none there now. That profile seems familiar, as well. This is not the first time it's happened. I'll probably flag the profile, once I'm more awake. Unless you've taken to leaving your comments as private, I'd say your comments were deleted.

ETA: Suspended now. Good.

Mine, too. I decided to flag. Neither >206 2wonderY: or I put our comments up as private.

Yeah I saw both comments earlier.
