How can we stop this spamming madness?

More mods?

Add new mods just for the purpose of controlling spam? I think the perfect people for this would be the ones who are most bothered by spam. I nominate you @Mimishu1995 :)

Now you know why I’m a fan of timers; ones long enough that any human might never even notice, but long enough to make robo-spammers jam up.

Most of the spam posts crop up at a certain time of the day. If it is one spammer posting several responses and/or questions, the moderators have asked that their account and not the individual posts, be flagged.

@jonsblond has a valid point: Why not become a moderator? I’m not sure who is now responsible for the training since Augustlan is no longer active, but it is worth investigating. I second the vote that you would make a good one, even if it is just for controlling spam.

Here’s a great title for you, @Mimishu1995: Manager of Spam Removal. (MSR)

I don’t have a single fuck to give, ignore it.

Well everyone, it will take the mod team some time to consider, given how new I am :p

Anyway, thanks for appreciating my effort :)

You call the occasional silly spam on this site madness? Rather pales in comparison to earthquakes, terrorist attacks, police brutality, and Ted Cruz’s rantings, doesn’t it?

Just letting you know that that type of spam is not new at all. The archives have always been a favorite target of spammers here. The fact that you are only noticing it now is a great compliment to the mods diligence until you noticed.

What would really be helpful for Mods (or would have been helpful when I was a mod) was to require email verification prior to any posting. This would greatly reduce but not eliminate the spam.
