Staff should do something about the annoying Advertising Trolls on this site

[Romero]

I've been reviewing some premium modifications to lessen the spam. I have had one installed since Thursday and it appears that has eliminated the spam that has been exploiting links in the thread title. As far as I can tell that exploit has been completely sealed off, but I did remove a spam thread earlier today which turned up (although it appears that this spammer was not able to exploit the thread title issue, so I'm optimistic that that's working).

I am 99.9% sure that the spam that we receive is a result of actual human spammers. I can widen the net of keywords and key phrases that can be flagged, so there is still that area that can be bolstered.

And now that I had everyone believe it was my hard work that kept the spam out! :redface: I've done almost nothing here in the last few days, I found no new spam most of the time.

Thank you master Steve, whatever that modification is doing, it works!

Glad to hear (read?) it. It's taken too long to get all of this under control, and you and LFF don't get nearly enough recognition for your hard work keeping this place in order.

Yeah, but they could just Google the answer.
