Yes, one asshat banned from the TMF has become a spammer and ruined it for all of us who were enjoying the new 10 second limit.
😀 😛

I liked the 10 second rule.

Yes, I could post fast and furiously with it in place. 😀 😛

So could I 😛


I could see maybe a 30 second rule 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I want the 10 second rule back as soon as the spammer goes away. 😀 😛

I was in a forum with a 300 second rule. LOL 😱

[milagros317]

Not worth being a member of a forum with a 300 second rule. 😱

I can see how that would get rid of members. 😀 😛

It was a BDSM site for a Mstress.

It got rid of me.🙂

Must be better ways to get rid of spammers 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

The 60 second rule seems sufficient here to deter spammers. 😀 😛

I would think an active policy of banishment would help. 🙂

It should, especially if you ban the ISP address and not just the screen name. 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

If I see what looks like spam advertising,I report it 😀 😛

Some people use ISP anonmisers now. Can make things difficult. 🙁

It can be dealt with but makes things harder. 🙁
