Mission Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Ok, friends and fellow posters...the spam is back. The registration was closed for awhile, so the spammers were cut off. However, it has been re-opened and this forum is one of their targets. So the simple fact is we're going to get spam. No one is more distressed than the guy who has volunteered to do clean-up in this forum. It's easy to spot - the username is usually jibberish, they always put a smiley icon in the title and the title itself is usually a dead giveaway. (If you see spam that doesn't fit this format, feel free to pm me or report the offending post (using the report button) just in case I don't see it.) I suggest you just ignore it and don't increase the post viewed count. You can report the stuff that fits the profile if you like, although there really is no need. I usually check in two or three times a day and delete it. Weekends are tougher for me because I don't have access at home. Whatever you do, please don't post to it and pop it back to the top of the forum. In fact, do post to other posts and sink it down. I promise it will be deleted as soon as I can get to it. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Killian Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I get a SQL error when I try to report the SPAM using that button.
Duchess Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Honestly I'd prefer spam spam spam spam beans spam and eggs.
Misson Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I get a SQL error when I try to report the SPAM using that button. Really? I'll bring that up to Booty. (She's the admin; I am but a humble volunteer mod.) You can pm me at the Mission or Misson ID if you like. Honestly, though, you usually don't need to - those things stick out like sore thumbs and the first thing I usually do when I get on the site is check for any smiley titled posts. Spam, bean and eggs? Remind me not to sit next to you after you've had that...

Rumba Rue Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 The report buttons haven't worked in ages..... People have to PM us Mods in order to get our attention..... And what I'd really like to do to them....

Graydog Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Monty Python Spam Song Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "spam" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag. Man: You sit here, dear. Wife: All right. Man: Morning! Waitress: Morning! Man: Well, what've you got? Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam; Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam... Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam. Wife: Have you got anything without spam? Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it. Wife: I don't want ANY spam! Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage? Wife: THAT'S got spam in it! Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it? Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...) Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then? Waitress: Urgghh! Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam! Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up! Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam. Wife: I don't like spam! Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam! Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off. Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then? Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words) Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam! Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
