    tru dat. do you have your own forum, or are you just talking about that sex toys guy?


    i really don't understand how spam is even considered an effective practice. 99% of it is deleted before anyone ever even sees it, let alone follows the links.

    the world will not be free until the last big mac and the last spammer are launched into a black hole

    yeah, it's the latest sex toys guy that has set me off

    the spam may get deleted 99% of the time, but it's free to post. so they just post a few thousand messages

    if they didn't make money doing it, they wouldn't do it

    I'm sure they'll also put malware on your machine if they can, because that's the easiest way to make money on the click-throughs

    You need to get your priorities straight if you are giving yourself a brain aneurysm over spam.

    ^

    yeah, I suppose you are right. I guess I should be more zen about the whole thing

    I guess I feel better sounding off about it than I would have if I had just said nothing though

    Normally I don't like violence, but that description of what you wanted to do was so over the top that I loved it.

    Thankyou to everybody who reports spam ! Sooner or later (within hours) it'll be gone. It's like with headache ... so nice when it stops.
    Just don't reply to spam please :2thumbsup:

    I guess as long as money flows and people are paid for it (as well as fall prey) there'll be spam.

    And thank you Cloud for your work at limiting the spam at this site, I'm sure most people here do not realize how much spam we get and how much you personally eliminate before anyone even sees it.

    lol, thanks, glad you liked it :2thumbsup:



    thanks to the mods who remove the spam!

    this wasn't intended as a criticism of spam removal btw, but of the spam and spammers themselves

    Spam is horrible, although I haven't had hardly any of it since I got a new e-mail address.

    The other kind of spam is good, though. I enjoy eating spam on occasion.

    How does someone get paid for posting the spam??

    And how does someone get paid removing it??

    most places, they don't get paid for removing it. if skip started paying you guys, i'll gladly apply for mod here.

    i don't know how the spam posters get paid, but i assume it must be purely by number of posts. not here, but on another forum, i keep seeing them sign up, start a thread, and post the same thing 30 or more times in a row in that one thread.

    I think that they get paid by the click-through

    maybe, but that makes the whole posting the same thing over and over in one thread even more baffling.

    ... and it seems like hf had been getting barraged with spam lately

    I think it may even be the worst I've seen, though some old timers here may have seen worse days
