DELETING SPAM FROM FIRST WINDOW

Open OutHistory,org in FIRST WINDOW, then click on "Recent Changes"

Check "Discuss" entries as they are usually the depository sites of spam.

Note the characteristic email addresses from which spam is sent.

One at a time, click on the entries that look like they come from an email address that might be spam.

Copy each of the spam entries into a word document to finally be sent to the technical team and Project Coordinator.

Delete the spam entry after it is copied.

BLOCKING SPAM FROM SECOND WINDOW

Open OutHistory.org in SECOND WINDOW

Click on "Recent Changes"

Block the spammer address that has just been deleted.

SEND LIST OF SPAM CONTENTS TO TECHNICAL TEAM

At the end of the spam copying process, email the spam entries to the technical team so that they can in the future block the spammer automatically.

Notes: Some spam entries are blocked by automatic technical means. Other spam entries have to be deleted manually. Blocking the user will not delete the spam.
