I'm giving a standing ovation to our mods for majorly kicking spambot booty this morning! Won't you join me?

It was nuts and they blasted them into oblivion! Whoo Hoo!

I see our mods as something like this.

    I'd see them more as Luke or Obi Wan but I agree with the idea, for sure. Mods always do an excellent job and are seldom appreciated publicly. I know as I am a mod elsewhere. I say a HUGE THANK YOU! to our mods and admins for the amazing job you do in this massive forum.

      Well, sure, but do these look as menacing, ferocious and intimidating?






      I think not!

    While Paul is an awesome Mod ( I do not know the others), I think hats off to the members that do early morning reporting. I know both Kay and myself hit the forum early and try to get it cleaned up before most even log on.

        OMG Terra! They didn't give you one??


        PS: The point I was hoping to make was that without us members sending in the reports, the Mods won't know about the majority because Modding the upper forums takes up so much of their time.

    I don't consider the mods as being ferocious so that's why I think those other photos are more appropriate

    It's good the Mods delete the spam but it's counterproductive for everyone on the forum to have to participate in trying to get the spam removed when a $1 forum charge at signup would stop most of the spammers.

      Not my fault. :p

      Oh you just opened a can of worms, Paul will probably get a stampede of pm's from all the female members since you have exposed what Paul truly looks like.

        PM, my ass - I want an address!

        Ironically - I went to post in here the other night (last night?) and had to report a spambot posting on the end of it, LMAO.

            Okay, this is getting silly. (Getting? )

            It's been 30-ish years since I had abs like that, and I never looked like the "Underdog with boobs" cartoon. Not to mention that I look silly in a cape...

            As far as Vader... I sound like him most mornings, but you do remember what happened when he took his "hat" off, don't you?
            I think hats off to the members that do early morning reporting.
            Amen, sir!

            I won't name any names, because some folks would probably prefer I not, but the early morning contingent has about a dozen people who clear the boards for the rest of the members for the day. They're the ones who find this stuff and let us know what needs nuking.

            Tip o' the breathing mask to you. You know who you are.

              I never knew Underdog had boobs!!

              He must have been wearing a super tight athletic bra, you know the kind that are the equivalent to ace bandages, when I watched his cartoons. He probably decided to go bra-less with the "Burn The Bra Movement."

                Are you sure you want to admit to remembering Underdog from before he hit the Cartoon Network?

                  Er, ahh, I think it's too late. No it's not. I saw it Joseph7384's post over here. Yeah, yeah, that's it!

                  Wait! You mean Underdog really does have boobs in his cartoons on the Cartoon Network?

    Laurence,

    Yep. The UK and OZ folks probably see a lot more spam than the folks in the US, overall. Largely because of when the spammers in India, China, and Pakistan are most active.

    So I'm on the west coast and am on here between 1 or 2 am to sometimes dawn - for me it is bizarre late night........yet, I am part of the morning crowd. How ya like that one? All my life I've been a night person, and because of one stupid forum I end up one of "those" people? Sometimes it's just impossible to get a break isn't it?

    I'm trying real hard to remember what happened when Vadar took his helmet off. Drawing a blank.

          Mine. I was roofing at the time, and doing farm work.

          After 20 years of flying a keyboard, I am in nothing like that kind of shape these days.
