Spam? Here? Yes, and you can kick it. - Page 3

LOL! I've popped two of them little low-lifes over the last few days.

To be honest... its a little bit fun smackin' 'em up a bit.

Which reminds me... I'm hungry. I bought some ACTUAL spam at the grocery store about an hour ago. Its not bad really. (Though I don't recommend the version with tobasco sauce... It makes ya pay for it again later.

I'm an annoying human with a terrible sub-sim addiction not a spammer.

Somehow they get paid for every link they place, invisible or not.

It is kind of like those double-click programs were the individual is paid for each click on the mouse for a particular site.

Onkel Neal · 09-30-09, 12:22 PM

Yep, that's right.

Ok, I have updated post #1, let me know if you cannot see the images.

Also, I am offering a Subsim Ping Prize to the scalphunter who can find the most spam ho's that have posted prior to Sept. 30. So, if you have some cool ideas about Googling Subsim credit or Subsim Nike, Subsim How to convert any DVD, etc, or you want to use the Community Search feature and look over members with 1 post, etc. I will award the person who finds the most spammers a Subsim Ping Prize. First person to find each unique spammer gets credit for that one.

Post your findings here, I will keep track of them. I will count the ones who have been found and listed in this thread, and the ones reported this week, too, so Darkfish, Pioneer, Firewall, and all who have found one, you are already in the game!

Contest ends Oct 11.

thanks!
Neal

I reported a spam post this morning.

Sledgehammer427 · 09-30-09, 01:22 PM

yaaay, six-way split for first place

DarkFish · 09-30-09, 02:56 PM

ahhrg I'm offline for a few hours and gone is my headstart

spam spam spam
spam spam spam

maison09 was even nicely welcomed to the subsim forums

also not completely sure about this one, if it was in any other thread I would have reported it. (the link in the sig is kinda on topic, so may be legit)

Onkel Neal · 09-30-09, 10:29 PM

Wow, six in one night, you are now far in the lead.

I will leave the leukemia poster, it may or may not be legit. I googled linda8055 and this person posts a lot of threads everywhere (spammer symptom) but they all seem legit...

Onkel Neal · 10-02-09, 08:46 AM

Spam free days: 2

Awesome.

Darkfish, I think maybe you cleaned them out.

That, and I've imposed a temp ban on new accounts using gmail.

Not wise if you ask me. Many use gmail these days.

Onkel Neal · 10-04-09, 10:29 PM

If gmail cannot weed out the spammers, many people using it will find problems joining forums and websites.
