And there you have the other reason why there is so little spam, the offender was removed in about 15 min

What was the gist of the thread?

*TAG UR IT* · 01-08-2008, 12:15 AM

^These darn people (I don't think they can be bots) sign up and copy/paste a sales sheet for cell phones, etc. WE HAVE APPLE CELL PHONES 4 SALE>, bla, bla, bla...

I've found spam just minutes old and banned the spammer as they were trying to make more threads. The bulk of the spam (when we do get it) comes during the middle of the day....seems to me. But, it does get removed as soon as we see it!

And, thanks to all for the comments on how clean this place is. The main reason we don't have much flaming is because of the quality members we have here...you guys. When the occasional troll comes around, we deal w/ them accordingly. But, YOU guys and gals are great!

After seeing today's surge in spam messages, I had an idea. Since most of these spam messages have emails to reply to, we should all set up throw-away email accounts, then reply many times to the spammer's email address with Rick Roll-embedded emails. Freaking brilliant, and fun if you're really bored like me.

Spam the Spammers, huh?

Although it'd be interesting

- it's also a waste of time and energy

(unless you really are THAT bored!

) ...just let us (mods/admins) handle them, and try no to let it get to you. Okay?

Also, thanks to everyone who reports the spam-threads. It's much appreciated to know you folks care for the site and want to kep it 'clean'.

It's the members, that help make this site the most desirable Camaro site to belong to.

Did you appreciate the Monty Python reference in my spam report?

the low amount of spam on this site is also thanks to the fact there is almost always some sort of Mod. or Admin. on during the day and night
