The nightly spam, what will it be tonight?

[OneBadV8]

Maybe the captcha will be a better option then. They don't have to be techno wizards like responding to an e-mail.

I'm not sure what options we have, but that's a good idea.

Apparently, they aren't all overnight spammers:

1) Just an fyi, we do respond to reports (indicating what actions we've taken) behind closed doors. Adding a 'banned' in this thread would just crreate more work on our end. But suffice to say, if someone reports spam, we respond to it, in transparency to other mods.

2) There is a captcha system in place (as any new member would attest to). Spam bots just really suck greatly.

We seem more vulnerable to these lately.

I think spam is the poor mans paparazzi. If you're Taylor Swift or Brad Pitt or Lady Gaga or someone heavy in the spotlight you get your lovely little paparazzi gaggle to follow you around and make life miserable.

However, if your just a normal Joe sixpack without the fame and wealth you get spammers to deal with on your daily commute through the interwebz.

So, were I ever to get fame and fortune I know what I would want to do to paparazzi. It wouldn't be lethal but it sure wouldn't be legal either. A smashed camera with LOTS of pepper spray or maybe a good tazzing would be.... gratifying. All done of course so that I would be hard to link to the event.

This leads me to wonder what YOU would want to do if you were to find out it was someone next door or down the street spamming INGO or some other forum you visit. What would be your response to their annoying little postings?

Just curious in a hypothetical fantasy-land train of thought.

Regards,

Doug

Paparazzi the paparazzi. Have people follow the paparazzi. Take pics of them having affairs, send to their wife.
Doing drugs, send to the police.

After a while, maybe they'll decide they don't like the same treatment.


Spammers... amputation.

Fair enough. Amputation of what? Fingers? Toes? Other, uh, extremities?

Oh, we can leave that up to debate.
I'd say fingers first. Then it would be harder so spam.
But, then in addition to not being able to spam, a job would also be difficult.

How about sending them spam wrapped up in a newspaper a la "The Godfather?"

I vote for kidnapping, tying them up in a burlap sack, and beating them with a garden rake.

Tonight's list, we got hit pretty good.

Gonna preemptively call this one as well. Location vlc, short name followed by a couple numbers, typical of the spammers. No posts yet, but user activity showed them trying to PM 2 minutes after joining the site. There was no staff online so they couldn't contact anyone else and I seriously doubt it was a regular member trying to contact them. This is another excellent reason that a minimum number of quality posts is required. It prevents these scumbags from PMing members directly with their junk.

Edit to add: Speak of the devil. Less than 5 minutes later they tell us about their wonderful muscle junk...
