Like Shooting Fish In A Barrel With A Bazooka

The spammers are in here this morning in volume.

I think someone wrote an ebook that said that people should, "Steal other people's articles from the article directories, and post them here, because the forum accepts articles from newbies."

The sad thing is that the articles they are stealing suck, so that means that the article directories have a lot of crap in them STILL !!!

    I knew that's what this thread was about as soon as I saw "shooting fish in a barrel".

    I wouldn't mind if they were remotely subtle about it but you can spot them a mile off.

    Well, I best go shoot some more fish. :p

      Hi,

      I wasn't in this morning. Would be interesting to see.

      Was getting disconnected a lot of times. I tried 3 different providers... same thing. Must be something to do with the earthquakes.

      About the scraping of articles, it seems ethics is fast becoming the thing of the past.

        Believe me, it's not (interesting). It's annoying... especially with the 60 seconds waiting time between clicks

          I was thinking the same thing.

          As I was waiting for the counter to count down, I was wondering if the powers that be could make some minor adjustments to the coding to allow "people they trust" to flood the report button when necessary. :p

    I can't believe that you copied this article from EZA and posted it here, Bill. I would expect more from you.

    Michael here, Reporting for duty!

    Bill, The 20-25 Thanks per 24hr period is to protect Warriors. I believe when your
    Thanks count exceeds your Post count your avatar will explode and it's a pain in
    the arse to clean the forum with so many people in it.

    Wait- we can't do this?!

    But how can I make money online if I can't sell products on how to make money online?

    And how can I make money if I can't take other people's content without asking and putting it in other places?

    This is such a scam OMG!

      The 60 seconds between clicks can indeed be irritating, but I now open another forum window and just revert to the "reporting window" intemittently, as I remember to ... it's made it less annoying while still "doing my share". :rolleyes:
