A special thank you for the administrators

[slekjr]

I don't know specifically who to thank, but I have found out that the latest spammers lifetime on this forum was approximately 1 hour and they got flushed. That's pretty darned good for a Sunday morning. Thanks to all of you for such a great job.:thumb::thumb::thumb: It's too bad we can't retaliate.

There used to be a program called Blue frog that fought spammers directly it was quite a war really wonder if i can find a link I know wiki has it ...

There's nothing more satisfying than taking out a spammer and their spam before it has a chance to get cool. We are notified every time someone reports a post, so if we're anywhere near our computer, we'll respond.
Keep reporting, this is one part of our job we love to do.:row1:train97train97

I thought I'd bump this rather than start a new thread on essentially the same topic.

Could we please have a 'sticky' telling more people about the 'report' feature?

Also, just for fun, a monthly count of how many spammers got blatted.

There are people doing malware research who would make good use of such data.

I second that. I am blissfully unaware about spammers on this forum but would like to recognize the threat when I see it.

Hey! You guys are like the Men in Black, protecting us humans from things we don't need to know about.

I reported 2 possible spammers in the last month, at least one of whom the mods were already watching and winnowing.
