SPAM for tea again!!!

[Geordie Spark]

OK .. it's yet another day and we're being Spammed again - this time courtesy of some twerp calling itself Alkando.

What do these folk get out of doing this, and what can we do to stop it and make sure it stays stopped?

It's all getting rather tiresome now.

 

[telectrix]

should never have given 'em independence in 1776.

Alkando is most likely an automated program or bot. If it's a real person he/she is definitely an ar se

Does the forum not have a "captcha" thingy when people sign up for accounts?

Or maybe an electrics question to answer...

 

[Burnt Fingers]

Well written scripts or bots can get through the captcha protection.
I like your thinking with the electrical question every time you log in, it would certainly be a lot quieter around these parts, and tumbleweed doesn't need much moderating so I'd get a lot more work done in the evenings

That must be a very, very, very, very easy question going by some off the questions that get asked on here

 

[trev]

Even if it was just a one off question when registering. It doesn't have to be so hard that it deprives us of all the sport, just hard enough to deter the really hard of understanding would do.
That said, I'd probably have duffed it

Aye .. you and me both marra.

I must update that thread, I started made some tooling for our workshop press and have been manufacturing small quantities of copper end caps in various sizes. They're turning out to be quite profitable on their own as a side-line.

[Robotstar5]

I saw a simple one the other day, answer the question "what is six minus three" don't know if the bots could beat that one?

...and there was spam for lunch earlier today, pushing film downloads again.

The Geordie filter doesn't seem to have much success so how can you expect a spam filter to cope!?! :smilielol5:





Spamcrapness, just ignore it, don't let it bother you.

How about the use of crimps on a solid core cable?

Definitely ! Caught many a fish on spam/luncheon meat. Which is it's only reasonable use, fancy thinking it was suitable for people to eat.

and there was me thinking that if your get an opportunity to use a back door you wouldn't turn it down....

 

[shagbite]

can't beat a spam, egg & mushroom sarnie + loads of pepper. as long as the spam's not too thick and it's nice and crispy. and the mushrooms have to be properly cooked as well; if not, they're like slugs.

 

[telectrix]

and what's wrong with slugs? best with a bit of salt.

Yes, I heard a rumour that they're a great delicacy in Scouseland - if only the Scousers had the energy to run after & catch them .....
