We'd be better off not allowing new user signups during school holidays.

632103 2008-01-22 23:20:00 I'm online here more often than I should be, but as far as I can see spam is minimal so what's to worry about? I get a helluva lot more on my email accounts (thank heaven for MailWasher) How about we just leave things as they are, period?

Cheers

632104 2008-01-23 00:05:00 Agreed. Things seem to work fine as they are, and the occasional spammer is defeated pretty damn quick by our outstanding mods. No need to change things, and in my opinion doing so would simply create needless inconvenience for users desperate for a quick fix to their problem. Erayd (23)
632105 2008-01-23 02:49:00 I have an idea:
When you've reported a SPAM post, reply to it so that I dont get 4-5 emails saying that the same post has been reported ;)

But seriously, it rarely lasts long enough to get a few reports... Between me, Jen & Jan (All our names start with J? I just noticed that?), we are lacking enough in social lives to keep this place covered ;)

Or maybe his real name? If there is such a thing... :p

632108 2008-01-23 03:24:00 What's the big deal about a bit of spam anyway.
It amuses me why some people report it and and get all upset if it is not deleted within 5 mins.

You don't have to read it, why not just let the mods clear it out in their own time and stop annoying them with multiple emails which must be just as annoying to them as the actual spammer
