The "Troll" and the "Spammer" - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*TAG UR IT* · 08-26-2011, 09:45 AM

Everyone has seen them and their posts (most likely).

I just want to say thanks to all of you who report them. While we can't prevent 100% of spammers and trolls from coming through, we can sure waste a lot of their time by taking literally 4 seconds to delete all their posts and then we ban them. It takes a lot longer for them to create a new email account, sign up, and start posting their nonsense.

The spammers are just trying to get links out there for you to click on. We would caution clicking on something that appears to be one of those spam links. As always, you can hover over the link and get an idea of where it is going to take you. Just report them.

And for the trolls who sign up to cause rifts and to posts their nonsense, just report them as always. Eventually they will get tired of it and stop. If not, we'll just keep banning them or do an IP ban.

Thanks again everyone!

What's the internet without trolls? I get a kick out of their crazy stuff. Spammers on the other hand.

Hey Tag...any way to get "kills" kind of like pilots get when they shoot down the enemy? Like a can of spam or a troll with a red circle and x through it? Have those show up by our avatars? I might be approaching Ace status by now

I came in looking for the punch line...a troll and a spammer walk into a bar...lol

Anyway I know they can be a PITA but sometimes provides entertainment for those of us stuck on a computer all day.

Troll walks into a bar and the Spammer says.....
