I'd assume he reads, or at least skims, all the topics.

And yeah, I've started to scroll to the bottom of new large topics before i read anything to check if they have already been locked >_<

I have a feeling he just looks at certain people's posts and bingo, spam! 🤣 It's almost a fool proof strategy so he wouldn't have to read all of it.

I really think he has a list of offenders somewhere. You know, a most wanted spammers guide or something.

I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

ZombieKing ihas been challenged! Now it's between him, Blissful_wulf and Mamsmilk. And maybe Dr. Love.

the best security guard, EVER.

I never realized it, but I think I might be on it.

hmm, i wonder if there's anyway to get off of it =D like maybe no spam for 3 month?

Besides, I believe Stealth has locked more threads for spam than I have...And to answer tps2's question, there really is no pattern to it, but there's always a reason (and whether you agree with that reason is not relevant)

You give me too much credit! You know you have your fair share of locking!

What I meant is how can you find where people are spamming, you just go by luck or somebody snitches? By the way, don't take this personaly but whenever I see your name as last post I allways think it is locked 😀 . Maybe because I am new to the forum.

And you guys want to know how I detect spam?
It certainly not thanks to you guys. You could have been a bit more helpful but with you taking it this way it isn't helping.

And let's just say that when a thread grew of more than 100 posts in less then a few hours, and that when you look at the posters you find only 3 avis repeating in a loop... it's a a good indication of spam. (and the avis in question are also usually extremely familiar which helps a lot)

I suddenly feel really guilty.

And I refuse to cry.

🤣 That makes me feel sorry for you guys. By the way a locked thread gets deleted after sometime or stays there until the end of times?

It stays there unless we actually choose to delete it

so...why not just delete it? its already locked anyway, no one's gonna post in it anymore...

or do you need it for a history of threads or have plans to reopen them?

Because we're lazy~ It won't hurt if we leave them there. They serve as examples of everybody's bad behavior

It does not steal much bandwidth?
