Spam levels are on the rise
 

Just an FYI; third-world spammers have always targeted us, but levels are at an all-time high right now. In the past, CAPTCHA has kept them out, but I think people are now paying spammers to answer those. Last night a spammer wrote different messages in every single section.

But you, the Cellar user, don't see much of this, if anything...

...because glatt has been on fire, crushing them in his moderator role.

Many thanks to glatt! A worthy mod indeed!

*claps*

The Glattinator! Crushing Spammers with Purpose and a Soupçon of Kindness. ;)

I get a kick out of banning these guys.

Interesting, I wonder how much of it is automated spamming?

Between moderating Myfitnesspal.com, Outsiderdomination.org, and Our_Place_Online.net, I'm up to my eyeballs in spammers.

Good going, Glatt!

Is this where we express our gratitude for his glattitude?

Oop - there another one goes and wolf got it this time!

I think some NSFW sites are "banning" people, and requiring a capcha to get back in.

thanks glatt. Your work may be unseen, but it is not unappreciated.

Thanks, mods.

Spam is incredibly tasty though when it's fried.

Oh, not that Spam...well thanks mods! Y'all rock!

It is, as always, my pleasure!

thanks wolf. Your work may be *unacknowledged* (dammit), but it, too, is not unappreciated.

pam levels are also on the rise.

That's what happens when gas prices go up.

Pam.... Spam! Coincidence? I think not.

IM, that was good. What rock did this person crawl out from?

Wield those banhammers!

Possible. :D

Pensive Pam is an anagram of "I've pen spam". :smack:

Thanks mods!

All hail the Mod Squad !!!

and morethanpretty is an anagram of
POTENTATE MYRRH
EMPATHY TORRENT
TRYTOPHAN METER

And while I was sleeping in the wee hours this morning, Undertoad killed two more spammers. :thumb:

Did he do it by launching tins of SPAM with his spamapult?
