By some chance I haven't seen these "spammers." Maybe its a function of when I post/browse and the vigilance of our outstanding Administration and Moderation team. So indulge a non-technophile a moment for an explanation.
What do the spammers do? Is it merely profanity-laced tirades, and other such disruptive behavior intermixed with the legitimate posts? Are people getting spammed on the personal emails and websites? Is that where the "spambot" business comes into play with diabolical Asian programmers? Personally I much prefer the Fembots from the "Six Million Dollar Man." Anyone remember that?
Could these spammers be trying to disable or otherwise "hack" our site here just to be stinkers?
Maybe I have been lucky? I don't seem to get spammed via my CC.C account--or maybe I do. How would I know, given that I am not a computer savvy person?
When I do see a rude or insulting post, I have addressed the do-badder armed with truth, logic, patience, and reason. I have yet to lose such an encounter. I agree that you folks do yeoman's work. I appreciate it even more because I haven't the foggiest notion how you do it, and in this case what you do.
Tony--You deleted 40-50 of the spammers recently!? I had no idea it was such a problem.
