The Anti-Spam Thread

Just want to say hello at my first visit. I am very naughty spambot, and nobody loves me.

Good idea, freejazz. The mod changes it to give one of those "enter the letters below" before you can post, right?

This thread has now been officially hi-jacked. Post your anti-spam ideas below.

Genocide.

There'll be no spam afterward, I guarantee it.

I was merely going suggest that guests not be allowed to make topics, but I like Kinko's idea too....

Am I cool yet?

Hmm, something tells me the spambots will keep their automated posting going. We probably won't care though. Yet it would be cool when an alien race comes down and sees all these skeletons and abandoned cities but all this internet activity and thinks we've trandecended our bodies to live in a perfect world of porn, drugs, and casinos. Then they'll probably leave Earth in fear and die out because they were the last survivors of their race trying to find a habitable world.

And that's how I saved Christmas.

i suggest a person of some sort, who can make kittens pop out of the spammer's computer.

Hmm, can that be a program written in C++... or Java? I think we'd need to use the poopkittens.h library.

But unless the spammer is allergic to kittens, that would be more of a blessing.

Aaaany way, a friend of mine has to deal with spam as well and said that one way to cut down on spam was to approve or disprove each individual application for a new account. Usually the email addresses gave the bots away. Just another suggestion.
