Spam Increase & Reminder
Page 1
You may have noticed the forums have been getting a slight increase in spam lately. I don't know the reason for this, apart maybe from the fact some moderators don't seem as active as usual. We clean it as soon as we see it, as penis size enlargements, re-mortgage plans, and cheap cialis is of little connection to the world of Mac heisting (at least, we think so).
Just a reminder to help us delete the spam faster: if you see a spam post (or any other inappropriate post), please click the little Report button at the bottom left and tell us why you think we should delete/modify the post. Some of you are already doing this, and it's very helpful.

Thanks for your collaboration, and hopefully we can clean that nasty spam faster.

I think the current mods are doing a pretty good job (spam has been kept pretty clean, people abusing smiley's have been banned). 
The only mod I see not doing much is Nollid....he hasn't been around much lately...

Maybe it'll be time again soon to get new mods and keep the forums clean. We have, what, three active mods who are here sometimes? I'm not saying now, but at some point in the near future.
Yeah, this might be a good idea.

I haven't been on daily lately. My visits will likely continue to be every few days instead of daily, fluctuating with forum activity and with vacation (Yay!).

I noticed that, you're a great help. I think you have the high score for most reports, needless to say, we still do get alot of multiple reports. We couldnt do it without the help of the comunity (well, we could....buuuuut thats besides the point)
Han shot first.

People who spam are such losers. They clearly get a kick out of posting complete tosh. I wonder if they're mainly robots spamming?
Yeah, they are. If they were real people, they'd be more intelligent

Totally awesome. Thank you, and the many others that do similar courteous things.

Thats really perfect, that way the Spam gets taken care of right away, and the reports are easier to zap.

I'm sure he appreciates it.
Or she! Let's not be sexist here, spambots can be either gender I'm sure.
Didn't you read what the spambots said...they wanted to be our friends....
I think they really need to be loved, and we should embrace their friendship!

There was a little surge a moment ago as well... But for now, Paris Hilton clips, Rolex watches, and re-mortgage plans are off the forums.

I think some of the spam increases you guys noticed the last couple days was actually just because I was temporarily MIA ... Sorry about that.
