Edit 7/2: We've chosen three volunteers!
Like any popular online forum, Indie Hackers gets a lot of spam. Everyone can already report spammy posts, but we're looking for official mods from the community that we can equip with more powerful tools.
Interested?
Volunteer by leaving a comment (or shooting me an email)!
you guys seem to do a great job already. this is one of the least spammy "forums" i know of. tiring much? no wonder you're looking for extra help. :D
i have the experience, but how much time would you expect from me?
I'm on early in the morning UK time and there is a ton of spam.
I have reported a lot of it.
I would love to remove them instantly ;)
Volkan is the person you need for this job!
@channingallen and everyone else here.
See how many people are here that want to help out? Now that’s what I call a true community.
Well said!
Hey Channing, I have been a huge fan of the forum since I discovered it. It has taught me a lot and honestly, I have been wanting to be part of it ever since and when I saw this opportunity I thought this is my chance. Let me know where I can apply or the requirements needed.
Just dropping in to say I'm very impressed with the level of quality in the posts I browse through!
Speaking of which, is there a way to report users? e.g. https://www.indiehackers.com/CREDITREPAIR/history
When you’re logged in, there’s a small exclamation mark next to the user name on their profile page. That’s the report button.
Reported that dude for you. :)
I would put under spam not only obvious spam, offers, selling etc, but also article/tweet links posted without any explanation or at least short intro what is the article/thread about. Site is becoming a link farm and nobody is acting on it.
Great initiative - glad to know IH cares about this :)
Hey Channing
I would love to do it🙌
hey channing, I can help! sent you an email as well.
Sent an email! 👍🏼

I would love to be involved. I've been moderating communities since the old days of IRC and have moderated everything from forums and chatrooms to subreddits (I was a moderator for /r/Android back when it had about half a million subscribers).

Hello. I'm interested in becoming a moderator. I'm in Taiwan so I can cover that time slot.
I’m willing to help.
Yes, this sounds great :) I would love to do it.
Absolutely would love to.
I've learned a lot on this platform, and I'd love to contribute in every manner.
Also, get an opportunity to understand how successful communities work.
I am in Germany (CEST) time zone, if that helps.
You can add me. I am not a regular visitor, but I hate SPAM, and ability to insta-remove it would be great ;)
I have reported some of the spam here.
I would love to keep keeping here clean as a moderator
@channingallen Love IH!
I have learned so much from being a part of this community. I used to be active here, but not recently. I have noticed an increase in spam.
Would love to help and understand the expectation! I'm interested in a few channels, let's discuss.
Yep, also happy to help, let us know how...
Not sure how much time I could dedicate to this, but I've been reporting a lot of spam. I'd like to join, although with no promise that I can dedicate a fixed amount of time to this.
We're interested! Happy to contribute and give back
