administrator Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi, I just wanted to quickly address the recent spike in spam. Basically, I am looking at options to filter these guys as they post. Anyway, we now automatically remove the post when a user is marked as a spammer - making it easier for mods to clean things up, while making spam on this board useless. In retribution for the spamming, I am now looking for some local spammers (in Montreal) to beat the crap out of. Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan If I catch any spammers in London, Uk, then they are dead meat (And I am a pretty big guy) And if you think my Avatar looks mean, you ain't seen nothing till you get on the wrong side of me...

Andrea Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Can somebody write an app that sends a strong jolt of electricity to their keyboards as soon as we mark them as spam? I'd enjoy zapping them even more that way. Only an electrocuted spammer is a good spammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I delete 6 spam, posted about if I can ban people, went back to the active list and more russian spam and the guy was still online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
administrator Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've updated the forum settings so that once an admin marks a guy as a spammer his post are removed from public view and he can no longer post.

LSW Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Bugger That is not nearly as satisfying as banning their butts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I would think that once they are marked as spammer, they can no longer post (under that account). I can flag yo as spammer and we can test it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 What does you hair look like Tex-i-can? I could use a new scalp... we learned it from the French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think I'm more a Tex-i-man - and forget the French, but always Remember the Alamo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Tex-i-mam then. I do not think then that they are all one person, but I do think the bulk are. Just makes you wonder why? Must be clear they do not stay up long, even gone while they are still logged in. A new enemy we upset here that is just doing it to get back at us? Hmmmmm. I understand that Crocket survived the fight but was executed according to a Mexican's eye witnesses letter, also that a group escaped, but were gunned down at a nearby road. Does the museum acknowledge this now-a-days? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm GermaN, not GermaM - hence the Tex-i-man - actually, that should probably be 'Texman' but whatever And even so I've been to the Alamo several times, I have not bothered with any of the finer detail. I don't get why those spammers haven't realized that they won't win - the majority of the posts disappears within minutes. My guess is they are annoying AND stupid.
