Subject: Request for removing traces of spam posts

When spam posts are removed from the forums, the forum listings still show the deleted post in the "Last Post" column. If you click to read the "last post" in the thread, there is no post there.

For those of us that typically try to follow new posts, this is misleading. Is there any way you can delete the information from the "last post" column at the same time you delete the user's post?

Thank you for that feedback. I will pass that information on to our developers.

Hasn't changed.

It's a great idea and has been suggested before, but don't expect it anytime soon. The wishlist of things we want is very, very long.

This morning, there were several forums that still had traces of a user's post.  All by the same person.  It's long overdue to fix this issue.

I don't mean to harp on this, but this morning I woke up to 19 ... YES ... 19 remnants of one person who spammed the forums with junk mail. I'm not exactly looking for a lady of the evening, thank you very much. The posts were deleted, but the traces still show up as "new posts". There may even be more, but I'm only looking at the forums that I follow.

It's very annoying. Surely something can be done to stop this nonsense?  How is it that a person can get away with this?

I agree with you.  I always wondered why this practice is allowed to continue.  The other case is individuals leaving ambiguous comments unrelated to the topic.  I report those as spam but it does get annoying.

I'm not saying this looks bad for a company forum where they try to tell us how great the software they own is (and don't get me wrong I like Poser), but not only those spam traces from the 17th are still showing on all forums but there are new ones now.

Please either make sure someone fixes this even over the weekends, or get a forum software that takes care of it with more robust protection.

And now the "spam remnants" are resurrecting posts from 2002. They use their own forum software I believe, so they should have the ability to FIX THIS.

Come on, man. This is a legit issue for users. The priority should be bumped up.

Also aggravating is that the old old threads ressurrected by spam bots remain at the top of the forums even after the spam is deleted. And then you get very confused when you arrive to a question that is no longer pertinent because, for example, Poser hasn't had that issue since version 6, and it takes you a while to finally think to check the date of the thread you're reading as if it were new.

Exactly. If a post is deleted, the thread should result in a condition as if the deleted post never occurred at all. That's the reason I requested this in the first place. 

Thanks for the support, guys, at least I know I'm not alone in the frustration. 8-(

I know this has been a big pain. I spoke with our developer and he is working on a solution. I will update here as soon as I have additional information.

Thank you. Fingers crossed.

Hey guys. This problem turned out to not be as straightforward as you might have thought; however, I think we have managed to wrangle it in and fix it. I have updated the data for all forum threads with activity this year. Feel free to sitemail me if you experience any issues related to this change.

Thank you so much!  It's appreciated.
