ARGH

Who is this MORON who keeps coming here to post spam? This has to be AT LEAST the third time today he has cluttered up the board with it. GO AWAY. I DON'T WANT YOUR CIPRO CRAP.

[Ray]

I know Earl is about ready to murder whoever it is! Right, Earl?!

I could understand one or two posts but why FIFTY? And why make them HUGE and difficult to remove?

I'm guessing some third-world national is getting paid by the post. Hopefully we are removing his crap faster than he can report and get paid for it.

My sentiments exactly, abitagirl.

It certainly is annoying, Ray. But there's not much I can do about it.

Last Thursday I happened to come to the forum just as a spammer was posting spam; so, I deleted it as it showed up on the webpage. I also posted a topic addressed to the spammer in which the title consisted of an insult that was purposely directed at him. I assume that he was provoked because he started flooding the forum with more spam than I had ever seen before. (I wonder if the spammer is a sports fan who particularly hates this website or was sent by a sports fan. Of course, I have no way of knowing one way or the other. I'm not saying that he is. I have no idea. Your guess is as good as mine.) I counted over 80 posts of spam. Talk about cyberbullying! I noticed that he actually stayed online for over an hour so he could keep posting spam. We actually had a contest. He kept replacing his deleted spam with even more. This had never happened before. I notified Skul that he needed to be banned. But the next day we experienced another round of excessive spamming. ASPhadoCafadask possibly could be the previous spammer who got around the ban somehow and came back under a new username.

All I can do as a Moderator is delete spam. I'm not able to use the ban function. Skul says there is no way the current system can be spam-proofed. So, the next time we have an instance of excessive spamming, please scroll down the webpage past the spam to the topics you want to check. The spam will eventually be deleted. Sorry about the inconvenience. I wish I could do more.

I have a solution!

Perhaps the designer of this Anti-sports forum could put up a notice saying . . . . .

NOTICE TO ALL WOULD BE SPAMMERS!

SPAMMING IS A DIRTY CAPITALIST TRICK!!!

So, whadda ya think, dear Comrades!?!

Just a suggestion.

[Earl]

Then they would spam us even more.

[Fat Man]

Like, what's with these SPAMers anyway?

Do they really think they're going to get rich by spamming our web site?

Yeah, I can see it now!

He actually stayed on-line and tried to outlast you? I've run into that before with obvious vandals but not with this kind of business spam. I'll try to log in more often to do my share. I know it's a lot of work deleting that crap.

I dunno. I'm not sure they're interested in our politics. I guess it wouldn't hurt.

We all could get a tattoo of Karl Marx on our foreheads to scare them away, failing that I say we report them to the KGB.

Yeah! And we can send the SPAMers to Siberia!

It's cool being a Commie!



We get to wear really neat Commie hats!

[Earl]

I see that you're keeping your head warm, you dirty Commie!

Thanks for the complement!!!

Yes, he stayed on for over an hour. Can you believe that?

Don't worry about it. It's not a lot of work.



Hey, Lewis. Some spammers are even more obnoxious than you think!

[Katrin]

I like the addition to your signature, Earl! Very original. You must be getting really sick of these spammers now! I say if they wish to be so generous in giving us their links, we should return the favour! ICH HASSE DER SPAM!

[Earl]

Thank you! But I'm afraid it's not original. I was inspired by rotten's signature. I suppose you read my first post in this topic. Can you believe that one of these guys actually stayed online for over an hour to harrass the forum with a flood of spam just because I dared to insult him in a topic title (now deleted)? (Never mind that he knew he wasn't welcome here in the first place.) It's quite revealing, I must say!
