New forum - Spam Trash Can

GlitterKill · 06-May-06, 01:17 PM

Big thanks to Rob for the excellent suggestion! We have a new forum where will move all spam threads (new and old ones we spot) so they are out of the way. Feel free to stop by the Spam Trash Can to taunt and ridicule all the retarded spammers. New threads cannot be created there since the threads a first posted else where and moved to the new location but thread replies are allowed.

If you would like to help us spot the spam to put it in the new forum please post in the spam thread with this word which I can search for to easily spot the threads as you find them.

Thanks!

It's actually just a spam can - we put the spam back into the can.

Great idea Rob! It gets the spam out of the main part of the forums AND still allows for ridiculing....Brilliant!!!
Should the locked threads moved be unlocked again once moved to the spam forum?

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I know nothing about php or whatever. But why can't you just delete spam threads and such, instead of having to lock or move them?

Why so we can ridicule the spammers and give them a taste of their own medicine of course..... anyone remember the Code of Hammurabi?
