That seems only fair since I smacked you around in an unwarranted manner on their thread. I am an equal opportunity

[Chimpy]

Fine, I am in too.

[countblah]

Right, but how to keep track? Malechi says that we really shouldn't post in their threads, so I guess, on the honor system, just mention every time you PM an admin with the address of a spam thread. That should stick. Any further ideas on how to do this?

[Taelord]

Hey, this a good idea. i'll keep my eye out too.

[Taelord]

I almonst got one. There was this person who posted a thread in espalon. I was posting and it got deleted.

[countblah]

Taelord, do not post on the thread. PM an admin with the link, then you can score a point.

First off, I never said don't post into Spam threads. I only wanted to get across that it serves no purpose and may actually end up creating more Spam in our little corner of the 'Verse.

Here is my suggestion for ...

Spam-Busters Score Keeping:
Simply use this thread and when you find a Spam Post, post the URL of the heroscapers thread here. For the most part once the thread is deleted following the link should come back as "Post or Topic does not exist" or "No topics or posts met your search criteria" ... No need for honor system this way!

Example of URL (This thread was Spam but not yet deleted due to the fact that I am watching the author's IP):
http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=
Malechi 1 Hit

Also, remember that creating multiple accounts, especially for purposes of spam creation, is subject to banning all the member's accounts!

[countblah]

Yes. Malechi, good score. Also, Taelord has one point, as far as I know. I will be keeping my score in my sig. So far, Zero. It will be posted here, and in my sig. Honor system. Let's bust spam, folks! Woo!

Post the thread, plus a picture of , or heck,

Awesome. This should be fun.

[skyknight]

I'm in...Iv'e gotten a few of these as well.

Just to clarify, that was an example. The actual member to first notice that thread was hi1hi1hi1hi1, not myself. Remember I said I could not play as I literally delete 8 - 12 Spamming users every day before you ever see them! In the last six hours I have deleted 5 Spammers before they infected the Forums. All the Spam you see out here is simply those Spammers that hit while I am not currently online.

I don't know why, but I find this thread amusing.
