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.

>54 MarthaJeanne: wasn't making a "rude personal remark". She was just pointing out that we need to know why something is considered spam before flagging it.

It does happen that on occasion people mark as spam something that isn't, so it's natural to want to know the reasoning.

That is why it helps to post links to the purported spam as well as the alleged spammer's profile.

scanning / searching talk for a specific name

But you cannot search talk for posts by a specific name. You can find the name if it's mentioned in a post, but you can't find posts made by a specific person.

ETA: I would also note that "scanning" talk for a name only works if a) you are viewing Talk in such a way as to see the topics in which the alleged spanner has posted (many people have various groups/topics on "ignore"), and b) the alleged spammer is the last person to have posted in the topic.

https://www.librarything.com/work/7494671 has been proposed as spam, but those are legit items, albeit several unrelated combined together because they share ISBN. Either way, 40 members have the work, so it's not going to be spam. The cover amazon shows for one of those is some unrelated product, even though the work is audio CD, which is I believe why it was flagged in the first place. But only the cover seems flaggable

I think nothing will help except flagging the profile.

This profile seems to be a year old, maybe that's why.

Well, at least several topics are gone.

You wouldn’t think so. One member made a campaign of cleaning out old spam accounts.

>172 2wonderY: It's not obvious spam; it looks like just an ordinary account with nothing catalogued yet.

>173 karenb: it shouldn’t matter. The profile has been flagged by multiple members after a flurry of Spam postings.

>173 karenb: Yes, the profile itself was a year old, dead and unused, and not obvious spam.
But if you follow what they do now, it now qualifies as spam and needs to go.

Ah, gotcha. And I wasn’t faulting you at all; just wondering why this one is hanging around after having been flagged. Usually that only happens if they’ve added a book. Perhaps joining groups offers the same protection.

Here’s a new spam account that joined a group. Let’s see if flagging takes it down or doesn’t.

Author recommending his own book, but without a touchstone don’t know if it fits the Thread

You'd think he'd be smart enough to enter his own book, wouldn't you?

He's been here over a year. He should know better

Enthusiastic author still needs a few more flags. Profile already been noted by a few others.

This one bears watching, I think: https://www.librarything.com/topic/326574#7358584. Joined today, no books in profile.

I flagged the post. It doesn’t belong in that thread.

Here’s The profile: https://www.librarything.com/profile/tomweber

Not flagging that yet.
