Define Rogue posts?

So you mean like spammers?

That does not happen that often?

?, Jan 28, 30, Feb 3, and one hour ago. I didn't fabricate the 90% number, I looked through my inbox for forum notifications on legit posts and only 1 in the last 10 wasn't spam.

We do get a spammer at least once or twice some weeks that I have to delete the user and block the domain but I have "my" profile setup not to notify me of new posts just PMs and threads I subscribe to.

Sure, if you do a small enough sample size it can be 100%.

I do pretty good at whack-a-mole.
