Huh. He can’t even spell foreign words right. Ban him for bad spelling!
What if I find some legitimately awesome sites that stream sporting events and am dying to share them with this place?
Oh, if only…
Can I get that for using leetspeak, too? Please?
He was referring to duplicate posts being deleted, not duplicate reports.
But yes, when I open my inbox and see a few dozen reports it usually means a mass spam attack is in progress.
We shoot first and ask questions later.
SDMB 2nd amendment solutions, baby!!
I wonder if we can hire Duterte as a mod after he’s eventually deposed in the Philippines? 
Hire?
No, there’s a test they must pass before getting the position.
Test: What is 5 x 5?
First applicant: “It’s 488”
Second applicant: “It’s banana”
Third applicant: “It’s 25”
Excellent third applicant, how did you arrive at that answer?
Third applicant. “Easy, I subtracted banana from 488.”
Ed: “Perfect, you’re a mod, you’ll easily be able to figure out and explain all our rules”
Incorrect, the test is “What is the response to <insert issue>.”
If malware issue: “Send screenshot” and then forget about it 
If about an regular user (aka peasant): note, warn, ban. :eek:
If about a mod (aka dominus et deus): remind reporter that mods are dealt in super-secret fashion … then take mod in question out for a beer. 
But I will say this for Idle Thoughts, I’m glad she broke the glass ceiling for all the women on the board that want to be mods.
This post is meant to be joking. The mods do a thankless job.
Wow. I reported 6 spam threads in the last 5 weeks, and I didn’t even make the Honorable Mention list. I wonder how many these Top Men reported.
I’m sure running coach has reported more than that in an hour.
Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there! That was great! I’m totally stealing it!
Yeah, I was about to say. Quadruple that number and then MAYBE you’ll start getting close to how much spam running coach reports.
And Cochrane, I think he’s the current “this topic is in the wrong forum” record holder.
Then our spam problem is much worse than I thought. And running_coach is running a “new posts” script.
If you only ever see 1% of it, why is it a problem?
Why? There’s a “new post” link available for clicking.
Though mine is looking a mite worn.
Spelting is overratted.
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with clicking on the “new post” link. Or running a script. Yeah.
Not a problem for me. I can ignore it jes’ fine. It’s your problem.
Wouldn’t be the first time. I was demoted from grade one to kindergarten over how I spelled my name.
Spam isn’t anywhere near the worst part of the job.
