The spam-slayers of planet Dope

That’s nice.

If you look at the bottom of every SDMB page you will see this:

As far as we know there are no scheduled upgrades at the present time.

We do have some Fearless Spam Fighters on staff and I am grateful for them.

Every imposter has their ‘tell’.

It’s interesting that there is a spam thread right above this one now, 12 hours after this one was started. I’m sure it will be “put to bed”* any minute now.

  • It’s about the sleep number bed.

If only.

How about:

“Of long term current Mods, only one has banned less than 673”?

Can I get a license to hunt spam?

No more than usual.

To be fair, he resigned as a moderator shortly after that thread started.

To be even more fair, he’s a “she.”

I once shot a spammer just for snoring.

I’d like to shoot a spammer, maybe in Reno, just to watch him die.

I know. My mistake. As Wilson pointed out a couple of weeks ago in this thread. :wink:

Mea culpa!

Do you have a collection of funniest spam?

If so could you post some of it? Or is that a perk of being a mod?

Pretty much like the subject of sheep and posters who leave their workstations unattended while logged on.

Most of it’s not particularly amusing – if it is, we’ll often leave the thread in view after removing the links. Given how infrequently that happens, you can imagine the caliber of most of it.

Yeah. What Twix said. Most of the spam is barely above the “Clik my link too by Candian v!@gra and see boobz” level.

Just last week, I saw Hal and that incident linked to on another site by someone warning people what could happen if you leave a public machine without logging off. He’s internet famous!

I thought “post parties” were against the rules. :confused: As per this.

Or is that rule only for us ‘lowly commoners’? :wink:

Mods Use Explodet! Spammer’s hit points have been reduced by 218 hit points!

You have slained spammers!

My own moderating was in a MUD; several of us would fireball people’s chars before banning them, often while other admins cheered “fry his ass!”… (the admin version of fireball was big enough to fry any char)

“fewer”

Just sayin.
