With all the recent spam posts that are full of obscene links, I would like to make a suggestion to management to help solve the problem. On the other boards I nose around on, I've seen that they've mostly solved this problem by not allowing folks to insert web site links into their postings until they've reached a certain post count.

One of the forums requires 5 posts until you can post links. Only the most dedicated of spammers take the time to make the few BS posts that would be required because they're usually hitting dozens of forums like this one.

webbie - does your forum software have that option?

That sounds like a great idea to me.

AMEN! This is getting ridiculous! everyday a new idiot trying to sell us viagra!

Excellent suggestion! Give that man a bonus! I'd say make him a MOD but I'd hate to see you join those ranks... LOL

Samyo,
What`s UP with that?

okay, okay.. i'm catching up with them... they've been deleted and posting privileges have been suspended.


anyone wanna come over and help me finish painting the inside of my house???? Plenty to do, just got started...

Get a power roller makes the job go a lot faster.

OK Yoss,
I like to paint.
But i don`t know where you live ?

pretty easy to find:

Nice pad.Can I move in with you ?

ummm, i dunno, i'd have to give up the multi-media theater to make room....

HA!! FINALLY got in here. Had to click on it, then back click it real quick and then hit the add reply real quick. too much damn work.
Yoss I'll help paint. I've got my own tools and I've been wanting to travel. Do I have to do the prep work and the taping too?


oh,and are YOU suppling the beer?

yup, prep and taping...

beer, pizza, wings, snacks all provided. You can stay in the east wing, private bath with maid or butler.

UMM
OK I`ll start with the tops of the towers and work my way down.
Gotta get my handy dandy brush ready.
OH, How old is the maid i`ll have for my room service??? (That`s always good to know)

Depends on how good your paint job is

Been painting pretty good for over 39 years.

Then you get one of the pretty young ones

I'd like to thank Webbie and our moderator (Yoss) and moderator in limbo (Heather) for whatever they have done to discourage our recent rash of daily spammers. Its been a week now and nobody has tried to sell me viagra, motorcycle helmets, or vitamins! KUDOS to the 3 of you

thank you, thank you, thank you...

<takes a bow>

my personal policy is to ban the spammer and delete the post as soon as I see it.

Yes, thanks. Kudos..no more Nambla garbage...

Thanks Yoss
Now i know how we get can spam.
