Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
Hooray for russian.. or.. you know.. whatever language that is.
I'm just glad they're gone now. I think Silver deserves a hug. Oh my gosh I jsut had this mental image.
[voiceover="deep voice guy"]
Coming this fall... They cam to the forums. a malicious force known as "Spambots" targeting everyone with their sickness known only as "advertisements"
He, was but one mod out on a mission.
One man... against an entire army... of spam posts.
It's SILVER AND THE SPAMBOT WAR![/voiceover]
*Insert image of silver coming over a hill, light behind him and warpaint spread over his pigeot features. In each hand.. wing.. whatever... he holds a huge gun, blazing and firing at the spam*
((also, spambots look like the aliens out of space invaders. Just cuz.))
Yes people, these are the kinds of images my mind creates.

Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
Uh guys, the 'bots are back, and I'm not talking about Servo and Crow.
Edit: Nevermind, Silver just left them for evidence.
Nice job defeating the spambots Silver!

Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
Spambots? When did that happen? Frick, I must have missed it.
Curse you, Ahriman!
Well, I suppose it's a good thing that I didn't see them, as it implys that Silver works fast.

Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
Yeah, I'm almost positivie that's Russian. It's rather frightening, too.
I woke up...and they were EVERYWHERE! *shudders* I got a-scared, 'cos I was the only one online.
Phonox, there's still a couple of the spambot topics in this section. Before they were...EVERYWHERE! *sobs*

Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
I think Silver should get extra points for getting rid of the spambots so quickly. Then again, that's just him doing what he's supposed to do, but on the other hand...
Edit: The 'bots are back again.

Yeah, how'd they get here? Nice work cleaning them out, I think they're back though.

Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
Kuso, they retutned while I was afk... don't worry, I'm on it. And yes, I left the ones in this section only because it may help Josiah get rid of them for good if he can see what we're up against. At least these are relatively harmless bots compared to what we used to get, a lot time ago...
Also, Gar, it wouldn't really be fair to hand out extra points for deleting spambot posts, because Shauni and I are really the only ones that have the ability to do so. And it would be pretty pointless, given my showing this year...

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
Bot accounts deleted. Unfortunately, I forgot to check the IP addresses firt. But if they post again I'll IP ban them too. If that still doesn't stop them I'll look into a new new user authentication system.

Re: I'm feeling the Spambots
Like one of those cool ones where you have to type in the letters that are written all hinky-like in the box? I like them. It makes me feel superior to computers who can't; i.e spambots.
AWESOME!
