His name is Inigo Montoya. You spammed his father. Prepare to die. ---

This morning I banned **stephen-colbert**. I’m really disappointed. Doesn’t he make enough money from his TV show? ---

Is **Marley23** ’s number so high because he is the “go to” guy for back-checking the spammers? Which sub-forum do spammers [and spambots] mostly appear in? General Questions? ATMB? ---

That’s some meta-spam right there. ---

Most spam doesn’t require checking, but when it does, I’d say it is usually **samclem** , **Idle Thoughts** , or me. There are two basic reasons my total is so high- I really hate spam, and I used to spend a lot of time working an early shift. That meant I was frequently on the board during periods of low posting activity, and that left a lot of time for getting rid of spammers. > [@](#): > > Which sub-forum do spammers [and spambots] mostly appear in? General Questions? ATMB? MPSIMS, because it has the most posts. ---

He took two days off work last week, just to register here? You can’t beat press like that! iii) Sadly (or happily), I ran out of silly punch lines, but wanted to use the Roman Numeral option. -D/a [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-spam-slayers-of-planet-dope/610896.md?page=2)
