I also think the admins do a great job here at keeping the spam down. yeah, every once in awhile something slips through, but in general I don't see much. I do understand how aggravating it is to see ANY spam...like we don't see enough commercials and spam in our mail boxes to begin with. But unfortunately, unless ALL posts are moderated before being allowed to be seen on the boards, there's just no way to prevent a little getting through sometimes.

TxDoc- I didn't think you were complaining about the job they do, there was a ton of SPAM this morning! Some of us know what to do. We all learn sometime, right?

I just scrolled past it and figured it'd be gone when I came back from my ride. Some of the spam that gets through here is pretty subtle. Yesterday's particular instance, it wasn't like the admins were going to miss it when they logged in.
ETA: which is why I think a lot of people thought the OP was snarky. No one needed to do anything to get the admins to notice 15 copies of an obvious spam message.Last edited by OakLeaf; 06-28-2009 at 09:12 AM.

Yes, that was exactly my thought. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

I moderate a group and people really don't realize what's involved. If you are 98 percent successful at something, everyone still natters on about the other two percent.
I also greatly prefer that problems/questions be sent to the moderator privately. In some cases (though probably not this one) that prevents a lot of problems.
I didn't intend to be obnoxious.
