Shinryaku! Spambot-Musume (Invasion! Spambot Girl)

[Assassin]

... As the topic title says.

I was lurking and pressed the "View New Posts" on the Index page and felt that Baka-Tsuki somehow seemed so lively, until I investigated further...

... Yeah, we're infested by them. It's only a matter of time before one gets into here too.

... I wish it was Ika-Musume instead.

Well If we had an admin back this would be a good bit easier.

Yeah, what is it with the sudden flare up in spam on the forum here? Seriously, spamming this forum is a huge waste of time, seeing that only a couple handfuls of people use this forum on a regular basis. It is like saying, "I have the cure for cancer, but I am only going to tell a few people who would not care anyhow."

Maybe we should give more people superpowers \evilgrin.


I promise, I'll give up my powers when the crisis has ended.

[Poke2201]

What crisis?

On another note, who loves my pissed off subjects?

lol I just had to see who would be foolishly make those thread titles till I see your editing.

[Poke2201]

Well if you get annoyed enough, you see interesting things.

Is there some way that one of us, some of us, or all of us could do something about the spam that has been invading the forum recently? This is not a complaint against the mods or the big boss, but I am just looking for a slightly more proactive way of filtering out all of the crap. I find it somewhat discouraging and annoying when I have to go through everything to find where an actual intelligent human being posted something other than spam.

[Poke2201]

You think I haven't thought the same thing? Im just about to make a canned post based off of spam.

[ainsoph9]

More or less, it has been done, but that does not help our present situation, now does it?

[b0mb3r]

You think I haven't thought the same thing? Im just about to make a cake off of spam.

[Poke2201]

What do you want me to do? Code the forum so anytime the same exact message gets posted in two different places the posts immediately get taken down for review?

[ainsoph9]

Naw. Just give the regulars here mod powers.
