It's Monday morning. I see the spambots have returned from a weekend off.

I would like to point out that if they snuck in one or two people would probably click on the thread, if just by accident. With this INSANE number, you are forced to carefully consider clicking on any thread. And thus none get clicked.

Cheerio 06-29-2015 06:26 PM

I promise this is good...

I'm sure this is somewhere upthread, but does reporting these links really help that much? I've been reporting spam when I see it lately, but that 60-second delay is pretty annoying.

Yes it does.

thetalady 07-17-2015 11:35 AM

If the mods like the help in reporting the spam threads, then may I suggest removing the 60 second limit? I have stopped reporting the spam threads because of it. It is a huge deterrent.

moe.ron 07-18-2015 03:35 AM

Hate you spam bot!!!!!

Thanks!

It's been a morning of report, read post, report, make coffee, report, report, report.

SydneyK 07-18-2015 09:41 AM

It's been a while since I last visited GC. Thought I'd stop by this morning to see if things have improved with the whole spam thing. They haven't. I can only assume John no longer cares. Oh, well.

Maybe I'll check back in in another month or so...

GC has turned boring and lame with or without the spam. I can only assume that nobody cares since nobody is posting.

Eh, I come to GC primarily for recruitment and expansion news. It's kind of the in-between season for both of those.

tinydancer 07-19-2015 12:28 PM

I see no spam right now. Thanks to whoever was responsible. Can we keep it this way? Please?

tinydancer 07-19-2015 02:47 PM

Spoke too soon. :(

ilove2shop247 07-19-2015 06:48 PM

I don't get it, When I signed up I had to first post in a specific thread to prove I'm not a bot. Perhaps just changing the sign up procedure might help??

AZTheta 07-19-2015 10:04 PM

John - are you even out there? Please advise as to the reason this spam problem is pervasive and why it's not being addressed.

The supermods must have "spam extinguishing fatigue". This is really absurd.

FSUZeta 07-20-2015 09:04 AM

Ninjapoodle is the only active supermod.

WhiteRose1912 07-20-2015 10:31 AM

...and she resigned.

WhiteRose1912 07-21-2015 10:50 AM

Back in March, yeah.

carnation 07-21-2015 10:55 AM

She's still supermodding but is going to school soon.

LAblondeGPhi 07-21-2015 11:00 AM

Ah, I see. I thought this happened in the last couple of days, though it still stinks.

Yes, I have school, work, plus an internship (and a Mr. Ninjapoodle) for the fall. I just won't have the time plus, I'm tired of doing this.

Right now, I'm in between semesters so I have a little time but next month, no mas.

FSUZeta 07-21-2015 04:15 PM

You are a saint and we appreciate what you do for GC!

thetalady 07-21-2015 04:53 PM

And we would all appreciate it so much if another super mod could be appointed so that the spam doesn't remain out of control.

Thanks for all of your work, NinjaPoodle! I know it has to be a thankless job.

ilove2shop247 07-21-2015 10:04 PM

wow, thanks for all that you do!

tinydancer 07-21-2015 10:18 PM

Thanks for all you do. You have helped the situation a lot.

LAblondeGPhi 07-22-2015 04:10 AM

I also thank you for all the spam-fighting superhero stuff that you do!

By the way... does anyone know where I can get some Michael Kors stuff?

Is this procedure not in place anymore? I still see the thread but the spammers seem to be able to create threads without posting there first. In the many years I've been a member this is the WORST I've ever seen in regards to the spam.
