Spam Accounts - Don't Reply

Post by **VegettoEX** » Sat Oct 21, 2006 11:18 pm

People, please get a fucking clue. It's a message board. There's going to be spam accounts. I usually delete them in one fell swoop every day, but occasionally they get through. Sometimes (VERY rarely) they even confirm their account and make a post.

It's obvious what they are. Why do you feel the need to respond? You're not helping. It just creates more work.

And if it's not obvious to you... you haven't been around on the internet long enough. Please continue to partake in this "clue-getting", kplzthx.

The end!

I know you are talking about my post señor.

I'll try to avoid them in the future, thanks for your warning. I just can't ignore the look of tasty spammer flesh all nice and roasted to a flaming crisppp.

OK

Just wondering, how does it make it more work for you. You just delete the topic and *Bing* your done right?

I need to check through the pages of responses and make sure there's no other posts from the spammer in there (comparing IPs, as well), and that everyone's playing nicely. It's just needless things that don't have to be done if people pay attention.

OK, thanks for the warning; I'll be on the lookout.

Speaking of spam accounts... does this one look just a little bit fishy to you?

Oh my... the machines are becoming as smart as humans! (well, as smart as SS4GOGETA#1 anyway) It's just as Kyle Reece predicted: the machines are taking a stand, and are slowly throwing the Earth into chaos.

Yup, I have to say I've seen a lot of funky accounts rising as of late. The good news is they all aren't like a certain #1 "super saiyan four fusion", eh

(bah bah, I write in caps... buy my crap)?Well, in the beginning when my account didn't work, I made another one. You can delete that second account if you wan, Mike. I can send the name via PM.

Damn, I really wished I timed it so I was user# 1337...

Free bump I suppose. I see an increase of spambot posts and also an increase of replies to them. Retards.

Is there a way to implement one of those anti-bot code things that some places have during registrations?

You mean like the "type the number you see in the picture" things, right?

That kind of got mentioned here.

The forum mentality should be: Spambots? I don't see any spambots. As said many times before, the best thing to do is ignore them. Don’t even look at them. Pretend they’re part of the mob or something, heh heh. I think it's funny to see a spam post and then going back and looking at it hours later to see a dozen views on it (do you honestly think dickermcfuk834 wants to comment on a six month podcast or really wants guidance on some amvs?).I actually regret posting in that “take a stand” thread as M(r)s. Jerseymilk said, that is a form of spam. This is my final two cents on this topic.

I gotta admit, I often do click on spambot-made threads. Becauase they still count as a "New Thread" or "New Post," and I often just go through and "read" everything just to clear the forum of new, unread posts. Otherwise, I'm liable to get confused later.

Eh, sorry, EX.

The spam bots just amuse / annoy me.

Funny how they started popping up MUCH MORE often than last year. In fact, I don't think I've seen any last year... Maybe the bots are becoming smarter? I've been receiving more spam e-mails as of late as well. CNN reports 9 out of 10 e-mails are spam. I wonder if it's true about spam bots as well.

Spam bots are easy to identify. Most of them are just..

WOW!

It's not that hard people. Britney Spears naked has very little to do with Dragon Ball.

I have no idea what you are blabbering on about...

Care to explain, or is not worth going into?
