I sense spam. Time to spam the spam.

How bout you get a hair cut and use some soap. Or better yet, learn how to use proper sentence structures instead of reciting lame qoutes from T.V.

If this is such an attraction to women, then why is it that humans are the only species on the planet who's natural pheromones do not attract the opposite sex?

Hmmm, well then perhaps cologne is another misguided product pushed by a society obsessed with appearance. There have been many tests in which prove that natural body oder is more pleasing then some chemical concoction.

Hey SRF Users Smile

There has been an uprising in the number of spammed posts made by spambots advertising pr0n, goldbuying, bots, cellular devices, penis pills, dating services, etc. etc. etc. over the last several months. It's gotten particularly bad in the past week or so, with several bots spamming 15+ threads at once sometimes. Sick and tired of reading this garbage? ME TOO! Here's how you can help.

* DON'T RESPOND TO THEM. If they are the starters of a thread, all that does is bump their post up to the top of the list so that EVERYONE else seens it and has to read it. If you don't respond, it'll gradually move its way to the bottom and even off the page.

* DON'T QUOTE THEIR POSTS. Quoting something they've posted in a thread means that not only do i have to delete their post, I also have to edit yours for content. This takes me double the time that simply deleting theirs does, and I have lockings to perform Smile

* PM A LINK TO THE OFFENDING POST TO A MEMBER OF THE MOD TEAM. Either link the post directly or just PM us the username so we can search for more posts by them. Better yet, do both; it saves us time. Including a brief but tasteful description of the offense in the post will make our jobs easier too.

* And most importantly, NEVER EVER EVARRR CLICK A LINK YOU SEE IN THESE POSTS!! This is for your own safety and the safety of your account. These links tend to be positively seething with keyloggers and viruses, and that's the last thing anyone wants. So protect yourself and your data.



Let's face it: the spam problem isn't gonna go away; if anything, with a forum this size it's gonna get worse. If everyone follows these simple guidelines and suggestions, we can keep the amount of spam down to a managable level and allow the mod team to do something other than lock flame posts Smile Thanks for your cooperation. Much love SRF!!
