or age in the 60s?

Alright that's 5-6 today. Not cute anymore.

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2016 8:02 pm**

Yeah, what's going on? I love Cyrillic as much as the next guy, but this is getting extreme.

Hey Mods:

I still have some moderator privileges, leftover from my reign as supreme ruler of the swamp. I never use them. But this spam annoyed me this evening, so I deleted two posts and banned one poster.

If this is cool, I'll sweep up the trash when I see it. If you prefer I do not, for any reason, just let me know and I won't anymore.

I contacted Shirley about all of this earlier today, and we decided to take a wait-and-see attitude with this. If it becomes a much bigger problem then we'll implement more stringent anti-bot measures to fight this spam. Until then, we're going to delete spam posts as they appear. Howard, feel free to delete those posts as you see them, but there's no need to ban the usernames or IPs.

Got it, thanks. I'll stick to deleting posts, and I apologize if I overstepped.

No apology necessary, kind sir. Thanks for fighting the power.

The power being some pimply teenagers in their mother's basement in a suburb of Prague.

Wouldn't using Mod functions make Howard the Man? This must be so conflicting for you.

Hey, now ... Prague is a beautiful city with beautiful people. I won't have you besmirch their reputation.

But as for Kiev and Moscow? Fuck 'em.

So does that mean they pay $150 per sale?

Anybody else get the PM invitation from "the Swamp administrator" to participate in an online survey?

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2016 6:31 pm**

Maybe. I got a spam pm, didn't read much of it.

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2016 6:33 pm**

Can't this guy just start a poll thread?

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2016 6:42 pm**

I was curious to what ZMan was up to.

Yeah, that's a new one.

Unfortunately a lot of spam accounts have been created in the last two days, and I don't have the ability to delete them. If you see a spam post, please don't respond to it. If you wish to comment on the spam post, please copy and paste it here and then respond so we can all enjoy the spammers' quality grammar and tremendous offers.

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2016 7:22 pm**

Yup.

I thought Sabo was finding creative ways to ask for funding.

Posted: **Wed Sep 21, 2016 8:08 pm**

I just deleted a bunch of spammer accounts and changed up our enrollment questions.

Posted: **Wed Nov 09, 2016 10:46 am**

Just a reminder, please do not respond to spammer posts. The mods will delete the threads when we can. If you want to comment on a spam post, please put it here.

Thanks.

Posted: **Wed Nov 09, 2016 11:00 am**

Sorry about that.

The cyrillic alphabet is already being implemented!

Ha! Why did the mods remove the post, I want my good movies, damnit!

I'd like to think Easley would already have a decent amount saved up from being an All-Pro defensive back in the '80s.

e: Fuck, beaten to the joke.

Check out the Movies thread (I think the guy advertising unlimited movie passes is OK, though).

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2017 6:42 pm**

Thanks for the heads up, rass.

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:09 pm**

I received a PM from a spammer today. That's a first.

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:13 pm**

I got it too.

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:15 pm**

Get rid of him. -- Billyadvog

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:17 pm**

Man BillyG comes back to offer some advice and you shun him. Sad!

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:23 pm**

Damn. A URL instructing you to install something. What could go wrong?

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:47 pm**

Dave will have to delete the account. But as noted, please don't click on the link in your PM inbox.

ETA: Dave has been contacted about the spammer.

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 3:47 pm**

Rookie league team gets called the Russian Spammers. Any objections?

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 4:45 pm**

I got a notification that I had a PM re: "The Clinton-Trump Sex Scandal". So I was like cool, looks like Howard is active on the board again, but it turns out it's just a spammer.

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 5:05 pm**

Thing is, who the hell would want to see that?

"Hayek-Vergara Sex Scandal" might be worth a virus, but Trump and Clinton?

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 5:09 pm**

What if Ivanka makes her funk the P Funk?

I deleted all of our new Russian friends (and a few older ones as well) and changed up our enrollment questions. That usually keeps them at bay for a while.

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2017 5:35 am**

Pretty weird when the giant text block posted by a spammer ends with the name of the relatively small town where you work.

As for the other thread, that's a nice looking puppy!
