I Tried To Report A Porn Spam Thread, But Couldn't

It was vile stuff…page after page…I had to wade through pure filth, over and over and over again…shocking, I tell you, shocking. But someone had to verify it was not appropriate, so I stepped up to bat for you guys and took it upon myself.

I think your dedication to this board should be rewarded with a SDMB coffee mug.

Or hand towel.

If the user’s birthdate is March 28, 1983 or January 1, 1980, it’s a spammer.

If the email address is cashette.com, mail.ru, web.de., gawab.com, portsaid.cc or many other .cc, .ru, and .info domains, it’s a spammer.

I believe mail.ru and web.de are legitimate domains, but like hotmail accept anonymous e-mail accounts, so are commonly used by spammers. I.e., be skeptical about e-mail accounts based at them, but don’t automatically reject them.

If the posts aren’t hidden, they can’t be searched. Besides, Google doesn’t crawl the SDMB.

I think you mean if they are hidden, thay can’t be searched, and I’m sure you’re right - search engines aren’t going to have mod or admin access to the board, even if they did index it.

Left handed?

Right handed?

Switch hitter?

Or did the Bat Girl take care of everything?
