I've found that most of the spam found in forums is automated and the people behind it are simply playing a numbers game. I haven't noticed any targeted spam here yet.

So far the spam-o-matic is working... We'll see how it does long-term.

Well I hope with all my heart it goes away now :thumbsup:

I have no doubt that it's automated, I'm just wondering about the person or people behind it. They generally don't give up without a big battle.
 
The Nice thing is.... WE don't have to see the illiterate graffiti left by the spammer....
Love the loss... :smile:KennyV

Yea the loss is nice, I just don't expect it to last because by the looks they've already figured out how to get sign on. Six out of eleven members are spammers that are signed on at the present time so you can tell they haven't given up.
I believe it's automated system and for who ever is behind it, now it's just a matter of time before they figure out how to get by the program that was installed to prevent the postings. I know I sound pretty negative but I've seen this crap happen before.
 
Well it seems to have kept on working! Brilliant! :thumbsup:

You don't really realise how much spam there is until you look at the Spam-O-Matic Statistics (which I only discovered at the bottom of the homepage today).

At the moment:

1692 Spammers Denied Registration

57 Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated

Wow - Imagine if all those would-be-members and posts were allowed access! It would be awful, but thanks to Spam-O-Matic, they have been denied access. Brilliant :smile:

The only thing to do now, is get LMF more active again, as I think a lot of members left when the spam got bad.

Not really...
Just like LAST year, Winter has very little traffic... Not many mowers running & having problems during the winter...
Come Spring there will be a surge again of New members & old returns...
Without the negative cry babies around, telling everyone to stop asking the same old questions over & over.... We should have a stellar Spring...

And speaking of past negative members... I noticed one posted back, after the Spam could no longer be spread all over.... Hmmmmm... what a coincidence?? ... But then I miss him as much as I miss the Spam, didn't bother to read ether.

The SpamOrator is working magnificently... I love it. Has to be a daily frustration to the one responsible for directing all the crap at these forums.... :smile:KennyV
 
You know there are only so many questions you can ask in terms of lawn equipment without repeating questions. I can think of many subjects that are in the same boat, for example, I am a avid wood worker and have subscribed to a number of woodworking magazines. The mags cycle and cover the same material from season to season. I have yet to see complaints. If it were not for repeated data most mags would go out of business quickly.

I have always believed there are no dumb questions. You are dumb if you don't ask.
