Widespread Flooding

No, not the current weather, the Community.

Looks like a mopping-up operation on copies of a certain multiply repeated post would be in order, with or without the dropping of sandbags 🙂

Oh, and I can’t set the correct board from Safari on this iPad. I do ‘Show All’ and see the ‘NowTV Community’ board entry I want to set, but it won’t set.... 😞

Sadly this community gets hit very often with spam/nuisance posts which are splattered over as many sections (and multiple times within each one) as they can possibly get them onto.

Yes, indeed.

But I think the software in use for the Community is Lithium, and Sony use Lithium on their Community, and their configuration detects and blocks attempts at post flooding (which is where I first came across the term, albeit by accident )

Even If it’s not Lithium, it would be worth the Community staff looking to see what its flood defences might be.

@RoyB @Anonymous User ,

Hi both,

Thanks for flagging this. I've given him a warning and removed the duplicates.

It is indeed Lithium (now known as Khoros) We have filters in place that pick up offensive language and key words but spam / flooding is a little more difficult to control, historically our response has just been reactive but you make a good point. I'll start exploring the options here. 

Thanks

Simon
