No, sorry, I was wrong - there were three by the same spammer, which is why I only saw the one spammer banned recently.
The point is (again) that the amount of spam this site is getting is not a problem to the operation of the site. Maybe it doesn't meet your standards, but that doesn't make it a problem. It's obvious that you keep bringing this up because of the mod you're pushing. You didn't come up with the idea for that mod nor did you code it, so what *is* your reason for pushing it on this site? Do you just want bragging rights for having "solved" the spam "problem" here?
Wrong again. One, I didn't bring it up, didn't start this thread and two, we see threads just like this quite often, complaining about spam. So clearly it IS a problem to many of the membership here, not just me.
See?
I'm not "pushing" anything, just sharing a very good solution that should become widely enough used to see if it prompts a response from the botnet administrators and the coders of the bot programs. Will it? Let's find out!
Why not make it so all new members who post are put under moderation and only mods/admins see the posts this way none of us see their posts but if a new member is an owner of a vb license then he is put into the correct group
Only if I'd had access to the edit history, which I don't. But this is a waste of time anyway. I deleted my post before that one, so you get the last word.
People complain about spam on their own site - I don't remember anyone else starting a thread to complain about spam on this site. Maybe I've forgotten about a few, but it certainly isn't a frequent occurrence.
Not surprising, they're usually always ignored. I haven't noticed site feedback being all that welcome here to start with.

Yes, feedback from the customers is always a waste of time.

No, it's the arguing that's a waste of time. It's my fault, as I mentioned before (perhaps in the deleted post) I have no authority of this matter so there wasn't much point in my addressing it in the first place.
First you accuse me of having self-serving motives here, which clearly and demonstrably, there aren't any. Then you essentially called me a liar, but you were mistaken, admitted it and apologized. Then, you accidentally edited one of my posts when you were trying to quote it (a easy fix, all that was needed was for you to remove your response and fix the quote tags.)
The entire time you were being dismissive, and not at all helpful. That's the root of the problem.

Then why not try being helpful instead of dismissive, and leave it at that?

I didn't accuse you, I asked.

I'm pretty sure I deleted parts of your response or else I would have done that. It was an honest mistake so I don't see how it's relevant to this discussion. I can always restore my post if you'd like to retype your response.

I told you that the people who handle these things are aware of the issues. I guess it's "dismissive" if they don't immediately implement whatever you suggest? In any case, I have my own opinion and I disagree that spam here is a problem.
