Question

Spam, still? Wake up in the Boston Sonos office

It is 6am PST which means it is 9am Monday on the East Coast. Are there no forum Admins awake over in the Boston Sonos office yet? The spam content this weekend is continuing this morning, with apparently zero effort from the admins to delete it, and block it in the future.

    What I have seen work on other forums is an e-mail notification of any spam reports sent to a small group of folks that have the single task of deleting the spam. They don't need any real skills aside from recognizing spam and hitting the delete button. Good job for interns or other staff that could use a few more bucks on payday. Put $175 in the kitty, 100 to the most spam deleted, 50 and 25 for second and third place and you should have enough motivation at minor expense.

    There are and have been many suggestions made in the past. And where there is a will, there is always a way. Here, the converse applies - that is the root cause of spam persisting the way it does here.

    I don't know if Monday is typically a holiday in certain countries, but we usually some of the European offices 'patrolling' the boards before the sun rises here in the states.

    This last Monday was indeed a very 'typical' bank holiday for the most of Europe. This annual event is called Easter. :8

    You wouldn't find too many people booting up their pc's for work reasons on that day in general.

    Why are weekends a holiday for everyone in Sonos? So quaint, for a billion dollar company.

    They used to maintain the support lines during Saturdays but that got binned a couple of years ago.

    It's gone again. When you see spam hit 'Flag' and that's it.

    That would be King's Day on 27th and Liberation Day on May 5th, followed by Ascension Day on May 30th. Don't expect people working there either. 😉
