Spam

[Anjin-san]

Can nothing be done? Is there not some kind of update or plug-in that can deal with the spam threads being started up all the time?

[ScottUK]

You mean 'spam-spam' or 'I-wanna-be-a-kendoka-but-can't-be-arsed-to-get-to-a-dojo-spam'?

[Anjin-san]

Thats not spam technically, those are just dickheads :P

Spam in this case is the automated stuff. Like where a new user signs up and makes one post linking to seduction products or a get rich quick scam or something.

Since it's automated, there's likely a bit of software or an update they can use to filter for it. For example make a minimum post count or time as a member before you're allowed to post a thread.

[ScottUK]

Vbulletin has a lot of these features - its down to whether someone (Alex/Hamish et al) can spend the time getting the options enabled...

[rottunpunk]

hehe spam

[Spendius]

For example make a minimum post count or time as a member before you're allowed to post a thread.

Or just refuse any first post containing a URL...

[Lone Kitten]

i agree, theyre bloody annoying.

[Dr. Hellsing]

spam is yummy, ummmmm, spam and eggs XDD

[Awooga Guy]

They're automated? So Awooga Guy has been wasting his breath insulting the spammers :(

Oh well.


That is all.

[rottunpunk]

no. its fun to insult them. even if they dont read them, us lot do, and we can therefore learn much in the insultodo.
sorry hellsing, but here i must use the phrase 'you minger'. spam is icky not nice.
:p

Awooga Guy will continue his mission then :)

well i suppose if you have no choice. like when it was invented because the only side dishes available were old boot laces and dirty dandelion leaves then its nice.

saying that, i used to like luncheon meat in the shape of teddies, and thats basically spam...but it is in the shape of teddies...or clowns...which makes it taste better.

i thought the national food of hawaii was coconuts or summit-ah how little of the world i know
:p

[Dr. Hellsing]

i guess this kinda belongs here...
i think there we should deal w/ all the "backyard ninjas" (for lack of a better term). i dunno how, but all this flaming is worse than the spam.

[Awooga Guy]

Awooga Guy has noticed that a lot of new accounts have been registered lately with the country as "Abu Dhabi" - perhaps these bots just go for the first alphabetical country on the list. Anyway we can nuke all these spam bots from orbit? Unless there is anyone here who actually is from Abu Dhabi.



That is all.

[ScottUK]

Anyway we can nuke all these spam bots from orbit?Its the only way to be sure. Hehe, we got tactical smart missiles, phase-plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...

Best of all we have Awooga Guy's chopper. Fnar!

I ate spam impaled on stick and cooked in the fire a few weeks ago. Off the coast of Canada. Good times.

[Awooga Guy]

Whaddya know? Another new user from "Abu Dhabi" just signed up. p0rtner or something the name was.

Hit them with the banhammer!!




That is all.

[CFrisch]

I dont know if this has been brought up before or not or if it would even work. Perhaps one of those psychedelic word things could be used. The ones where you have to copy the letters, words, phrases or whatever into the box to complete the registration.

[ScottUK]

If I am correct in saying that the registrants are probably human and not bots, then that won't work.

We should resort to cold hard steel. They don't like it up 'em. :)

[CFrisch]

Well to clarify I ment that as a way to prevent bots, not people.

That's because you've probably never had a spam musubi. And I don't mean the sickly ones you pick up in the 7-11s here (although they're good for a quick fix after keiko). I'm talking about the kind where you marinate the spam in teriyaki sauce then pan fry until the sugar in the sauce carmelizes and the spam is all crunchy. Oh, and it's even better if you use Korean nori. Hmm... I think I know what I'm making tonight.

Seriously, try it sometime.

[rottunpunk]

well, ill have to go visit your dojo and try it there then.
no money though. and japan would have to come first if i did.
maybe some day:rolleyes:
:p

Okay, if you ever make it to Hawaii I'll make you some.

This.

Great idea. How about it mods?

These are of the great pleasures in life:

Homemade Spam Musubi (Now spam comes in flavors and various other things injected into them like cheese and BBq sauce,

whoo.

hoo.

and Beer......................


*...*....*....*...*. droool..








huh?....Now what was I saying?.......
LOL

[Awooga Guy]

So does that mean there are regular meat injections?

Fnar!

<ahem> Anyway kill the spammers. In the face.






That is all.

[Kenzan]

Any similarities between what can be construed as "Meat" and the product known as "Spam" is purely co-incidental. Strangely which, that particular word just happens to appear several times in the list of ingredients! LOL

But according to Hormel, the makers of this delicious, if not mysterious meat:

''The ingredients are ground to a medium-coarse texture. Spices are then added to enhance the product's natural flavour. (Just what is the natural flavor of "spam I wonder?) After the blending process is completed, the meat is mechanically filled into cans, sealed, and cooked in a retort oven. Upon leaving the retort, the cans are dried and transferred to the packaging area. A caser then automatically unscrambles and distributes the cans into the feed section, forms the corrugated tray, and loads the cans into each tray. the packed cases are conveyed through an automatic code dater and a shrink film tunnel. The sealed cases are then transferred to the storage and warehouse area to await shipment

Also from http://www.cusd.claremont.edu/~mrosenbl/spamtheory.html

Some of the theories of exactly what Spam is:

What is Spam?

* Pig meat.
* Dog meat.
* Rodent meat.
* Armadillo meat.
* Congealed, dyed lard.
* Dyed salt licks.
* Maps, backwards.
* Darn tasty!

[Awooga Guy]

Damn... Awooga Guy is so impressed. Your ability to derail a thread is just... awe-inspiring.

Don't post that shit here...

[Awooga Guy]

Oh dear... Kenzan, I'd PM a mod and ask them to edit that if I were you...






That is all.

[ScottUK]

An embarrassment to himself and more importantly, to the German visitors who are greatly respected on KWF. Photos of this waste of flesh have no place here. Especially not for a joke. Arse.

BTW Awooga - first person (again).

[Awooga Guy]

Dammit! Awooga Guy slipped into the first person :(

He must have been unhappy about the pic...





That is all.
