Me too. I'm on a lot at night (at least where I am) and thus see a lot of spam.

You are all drafted. Details to be worked out later!
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).

Great! Let's do this!
Are you looking for a minimum time commitment?

Any updates? Just a thought, but it might make sense to move a thread like this to Whimsy or another private subforum. If the spambots are indeed
human, then they can currently read our defense tactics freely and figure out ways around them.

Yeah, we probably should. Unless the bots are another member out for fun - like Woelen! Just kidding...
But a separate thread might be nice.

EVERYONE! Please be on the lookout-
For a new spam variant-
Characteristics observed so far:
Human authored, an apparent reply to existing thread, but with little meaningful content, usually the majority is a quote of another's previous reply,
with perhaps a sentence or two of new content.
BUT!
After the body, down in the bottom where a signature might be- There are links, in a font/color very close to color of default page background. Easy
to miss-
Please report these ASAP if you notice such links hiden in otherwise apparently legitimate posts.
Some of the spam I deleted today had been present for over a month without anyone noticing/reporting the spam links-

58 spam posts by one spammer in the last few minutes.
Yuck.
[edit]
And dispatched quickly before I got to report them. Something in the system is working.

If you do not like it, ignore it.

You are right sir.
Ignoring can only go so far/enough spam can overwhelm

I have no clue why that posted three times.... And I think I was on a normal computer, too. Sorry, Bert.
The script isn't going well, got sidetracked.

I have noticed that I usually log onto SM just as the spammers post; I usually just report them, but recently the odd porn-linking ones have been
popping up quite frequently. I know we're supposed to just report them and move on, but I wish I could do something other than that, because I'm
usually up at all hours of the day and most of the mods aren't online at the time. For example, I'll go online at like three in the morning, and
there'll be four random, usually Spanish, spam posts is this sub forum, and a few scatter in the EM section, and unfortunately the mods aren't online.
