It seems like someone joins Fluther every 30 seconds. Where do all these new jellies GO?

An awful lot of them are spammers, and they end up in spammer heaven.

The others drift away or quit for various reasons, or they stay.

Try clicking on their name in the Community Feed. Most of the time, they leave a description of their business and a website. If they’re fancy, they’ll upload a business card or logo as an avatar. These folks get banned as quickly as the mods can keep up with them.

If only there were a way to communicate this to them before they went to the trouble of creating the account.

Edit: Here’s an example. Buh-bye waterharvestings.

It is so annoying. Don’t spammers and telesales folk realize it is a bloody waste of time?

@snowberry Is there a “spammer HEAVEN”? For the gourd’s sake, WHY??

@ibstubro Maybe because they were the best spammers they could be?

@ibstubro I don’t think spammer heaven is anywhere nice at all. It’s full of other spammers, and they are all trying to spam and scam each other.

@glacial Think child molester. Heaven INDEED.

Where have all the spammers gone? Gone to grave yards, every one…

@ibstubro But in that example, they would all be amongst themselves, and far from what they desire. Their heaven might also be their hell.

@snowberry lol, I just realized we gave very similar responses. :)

Nuh, uh, @snowberry Heaven it nirvana, and not of the annoying noise/music kind.

Some die, some are incarcerated, and still others have lost all of their fingers in Independence Day fireworks misfortunes.

The rest are likely still here, but are probably so dumbfounded and / or intimidated by the deep intellect and astonishingly razor-sharp wit on display which explodes off the page here every day that they likely just tape a big piece of cardboard over their keyboards and silently wish they were us.

And I heard that some just gave up and moved to New Jersey…

@glacial There were too many examples.

@OneBadApple INCARCERATED JELLIES??

Surely, you jest.

Well…..I’m sure they are all innocent, but wrongly convicted….

Does anyone know where jonsblond went?

New Jersey, I’m told….

How does that warrant her departure from Fluther?

@dxs Sadly she deleted her account. But she does that sometimes and takes a break. I hope she comes back as I really miss her.

@chyna Did you hear of any altercations or something?

HARUMPH.

What? SPEAK UP?!

@dxs No I didn’t.
@ibstubro We are off topic so we have to whisper.

@ibstubro Let’s switch to Danish….that’ll show ‘em….

@ibstubro It’s been a long day. My voice is spent.

Hvorfor skal jeg selv komme op om morgenen ?

@chyna You poor dear. Are you topic challenged? Is there a difference between a dog whisper and a whine?

Hvad skal oversættes?

Der er op til invaderende Norge ?

Tror du, at Abbott og Costello var sjovt ?

^^You guys talking about me?
Why do I feel like I’m getting a pedicure?

Maybe we are, maybe we aren’t….

Jeg foretrækker de tre marionetter

Crap. I’ll be the middle Stooge, then.

Larry ? Shit, NOBODY wants to be Larry…

Hey, it’s no secret it takes a special blend of jelly to make the grade.
Many new jars can;t handle the rigorous pasteurizing that goes into the making of a great jelly.
If you start out with sour grapes from a feeble vine, well, you’ll never make it in the land of forbidden fruit. lol

@Coloma Surely you’re not talking about preserving our jellies! We can’t be constrained by jars and lids – we must float free!

@glacial Very true, but some fruits rot on the vine before their time.
Gotta be a grade “A” grape to make the jelly. lol

We are being absolutely slammed by spammers right now. Not sure what’s up with that, but it’s a little crazy. The mods are doing one hell of a job keeping up with it especially while I’m mostly busy with my other job. I lurve you, mod team!

Aarhus?

We grind ‘em up and make lurve out of ‘em. That’s right…lurve is spammers.

As someone who used to join a lot of communities, it’s not unusual at all to sign up and then realize you’re really not that interested and to move on rather quickly (like that same day).

@OneBadApple I’d rather be Larry than Shemp. We can’t all be Moe.

@thorninmud is that like Soylent Blue?

@ibstubro Hell, nobody aspires to be Shemp.

Curly, on the other hand….

WHOOP-whoop-whoop-whoop…...drrrrrrutt, drrrrrrutt…...nyuk-nyuk-nyuk…..

@yeah, Curly, the likeable lummox.

So, your contention is that nobody aspires to be either Larry or Shemp?

Did you play 2 stooges with your imaginary friend as a kid, then?

Nah, my imaginary friend and I never played anything. He was just an asshole who never stopped talking, even while I slept.

I finally fired him from the friendship sometime around…...uhh…...1967….

Is that where he came from?? Crap. You can take him back any time now.

Chippity, chat. Natter, natter, natter. Yamina, yamina, yamina. Sheesh.

Perhaps they are looking for a question and answer site that has what they really want.

Questions like this.

A 25 gram ingot of lead at standard temperature is immersed into a pot of water of 250 grams that started at standard temperature and is brought to a boil. What is the specific heat of lead? Ignore the pot for this problem.

I just made that problem up as I went along ( it is workable though ) but such sites exist and those sites get most of my time. So, I may be one of the drift away types that forgets this site quickly. We will see.

We are more of a “converse in nonsense Danish, and learn nothing from the experience” type of crowd.

Do you ever like to just relax and have a little fun ??

We will see….

@OneBadApple

” Do you ever like to just relax and have a little fun ?? ”

That type of problem IS fun for me!

” We are more of a “converse in nonsense Danish, and learn nothing from the experience” type of crowd. ”

True that.

Perhaps you should try learning something instead of nothing.

@Neodarwinian Well ya know, bio-diversity. One mans fun is another mans shoot me in the head. lol

@Neodarwinian

I like to think that I never stop learning things, but I’m quite sure that possibly making someone laugh when they might be having a stressful day will help them far more than their knowing how to determine the specific heat of a 25 gram ingot of boiling lead.

” but I’m quite sure that possibly making someone laugh when they might be having a stressful day will help them far more than their knowing how to determine the specific heat of a 25 gram ingot of boiling lead. ”

Really? What if the stress was that problem?

Also fallacy of the false dichotomy. You can do two things, making people laugh and help them solve stressful problems at the same time.

You did not help me solve a problem but you fallacy made me laugh.

OK, anyone here who has been losing sleep or stressed out lately about the correct temperature properties of boiling lead, please raise your hand…...

(The sound of the chirping crickets you are hearing really makes me laugh, professor…)

Wha…? What happened? I’m awake. I’m awake. I promise.

Well that was all very tedious.

There’s so much flaming going on around here you’d think the place was full of homosexuals.

Or marshmallows.

Ummm…Is that saganaki!?

That is weird…usually you can see the events leading up to some body flame-baiting, but I can’t see anything at all.

@ibstubro No. I’m just glad to see you.

I’m getting a little perklepsed

Sorry I’m a bit too late. Everything I want to say has been said :(
@ibstubro how do you know that someone joins Fluther every 30 seconds? Are you one of the mods?
@snowberry I totally agree with you about the spammer part. I remember reading some question of a new jelly a few days ago. I really didn’t know what he was talking about because in the question he clearly asked about the price of some cosmetic then in the description he murmured something which seemed like a good cosmetic company (I really had no idea what he was really referring to there because his English was so bad and his sentences were so broken). After a while I came back to Fluther and I couldn’t find that question. I don’t care where it is now.
@glacial I used to see the big man with the crown in your link a long time ago. But now when I read your answer and followed the link you gave, that big old man really freaked me out (now that I know Fluther is serious)!
Guess I have to be careful from now on or else I’ll end up in that man’s stomach :’(
@augustlan That’s what I love about Fluther. You’ve done a very good job sweeping all those stupid users away. I’ll never come back to Yahoo! Answer again! It’s full of spammers and mindless people who give stupid answers or jump at my faults with no mercy wherever I do anything wrong.

@Mimishu1995 It probably was deleted. Most of them are, but we have developed a culture of harassing them until they get deleted. It can get kind of fun, especially with the right people. LOL

@Mimishu1995 Every time a new member joins, it’s posted in the Community Feed in the right hand border of this page.

@ibstubro After reading your question I start to pay more attention to the Community Feed and I come to realize that what @snowberry said is really, really true.

How do you harass them @snowberry? I’ve never been to one of those parties.

We treat them like they’re our Fluther friends, @Dutchess_III. lol

Well, there is a new one as we speak. A pretty blond named foloviva or something. So…what next?

Congrats on 5K @ibstubro!

Thanks, @Dutchess_III. I figure 5,000 is my plateau. I’m good with that.

Eaten, apparently, @Yetanotheruser. Unbeknownst to the most of us!
