Stopping spam, bots and trolls with your help.
Quote from myBullion on September 10, 2025, 2:09 pmG'day everyone,
Having just launched the forum its great to see the civil conversations taking place. In time we can expect more heated and potentially rude comments to be made. This comes with the territory, and most of us are tolerant of that to a point.
This is where your vote or 'reaction' can actually help mitigate content that is completely inappropriate or downright abusive. A script has been implemented that scans the forum, and when certain downvoted post thresholds are met, the following occurs:
3 downvotes - the post is hidden behind the letter 'X'. Users can still click to reveal the content.
6 downvotes - The post is hidden completely, visible only to admin for review.
(Limits will adjust as the community grows.)
This puts content moderation largely in the hands of members. While not perfect, it empowers our community to shape the forum's atmosphere directly.
