At you service, colonel Smith... err, projectego.net staff! We shall be victorious.
Funny, I`ve seen spam here about five times in total.

You are quite right when it comes to not liking you or respecting you. I don't have to do either of those, because I don't even KNOW YOU. You are some random person on a forum on the internet. I like and respect the staff members and several regular members because they are genuinely interesting people who I have gotten to know over the last 2.5 years. You, I have known for a few months and had one chance encounter because I disagreed with what you said. In this case I am not the one over reacting.

Edit: Dammit! Now you got me ranting.

agreed. but i dont think there is any qualm between us anymore. i suppose i was over reacting there, and for that i appalagise (cant spell, hope you can read that). i hope we can get to know each other eventualy, you and i seem to be remarkably similar, in some aspects. but i beleive we can at least be civil tward each other. and i will report any spam i find, regardless of how i feel about you. i will also do my best not to put my foot in my mouth, as i seem to do on a regular basis, both on and outside this forum.

I'm quite likeable when we get to know each other. In fact, I have ****ed off almost everyone who I consider a friend on here.

Triz, Sephiroxas, Hexadecimal (when she was a member), Steve (we made up afterwards), Angel, Tsuyu, others...

down with spam!!!!

PureCorruption · 10-09-2008, 02:18 AM

I'm sorry if this annoys anyone, but what are the things we should be looking out for to catch and identify spammers as i would like to be of help to a site that does so much for me and so many others.

Angel · 10-09-2008, 08:12 PM

Basically there are a number of indicators - with the new upgrades to the forum we have little spam now, at least that which is visible to members, but if you look at the "who's online?" list you can see all the people currently looking at the site and those with names like buyviagra or looky!porn are usually giveaways...or their name may be a bunch of letters which make no sense. If in doubt, just click on the name, check the profile and they'll have either an image, link or some other information indicating they are selling medication or promoting porn.

Then you just alert the staff either via PM, profile message or the report post function and we can deal with it.
