braggot theory

They don't know or care about the forum info, they just spam everywhere, regardless. I see it on all my forums, and it eats up a fair amount of time between figuring out even higher barriers and deleting the posts that get past the blocks. Really pisses me off. I spent like 4 hours hunting down and removing posts, banning members and creating more and nastier anti-spam measures on another forum I manage last week. Just steams me up.

I wish there was a way to nuke them back. Frankly I'd like to pretty much ban China, India and the Eastern block countries all together, since 95% of our spam comes from them, but we've members in those areas.......

Sometimes it sucks being the good guys.

Yep, you got that right.....

...add those hours I spent over the weekend and we have a pretty significant investment of time and money in chasing these a$$h0les down and eradicating them.

Cheers,

I hear you. Pisses me off, for a while there we didn't have so much trouble with the idiots. I wonder if there's something in the water or something......

Raise a toast to our poor beleaguered mods who do so much for us! Hail Vicky! Hail Oskaar! We really do love you guys!

Huh. I'm guessing simply saying "Skoal!" is too short for a post? Ah well, Cheers!

 

[skunkboy]

I agree. Cheers! You guys must delete almost all of the spam before I see it, so you are amazing!

You guys should have a "spamerator", a mod that does nothing but looks for spam...no adjudicating quarrels (not that I've seen one on here, this is a great mellow forum) or answering questions. Just give me a ban hammer, I'd love that job.
