Yup. It’s a pain in the ass, having to do it by hand, but …..

Cheers!

I see you’ve been spam-killing, Jon.

This is what I see, normally, when there are spam posts. A set of symbols, with or without some recognizable words, often looking like…

@$@^^^:::::*$#%@!!!^%@@

So, could it bee possible to block this shit by means of detecting a higher than normal use of those characters, and just filter them out. Everyone uses those charcters, but not that much, so it’s like a no brainer filter, just a thought.

Now, there’s always the chance that I am seeing those characters, because those posts were made in a language other than English, and I haven’t enabled multiple language support for my browser.

What do these spammer yoyos possibly be thinking of? I’m not going to click on a link like this. No telling what you get besides exposure to ads. Further I would not dream of rewarding someone who has caused me personally so much hassles with posting a post. Where before I could just submit the post, now I have to go through the verification bs. just because of their actions.

These yoyos are wasting their and my time. Jon, find some way to locate and terminate these spammers. Surely there is some legal resource for protection of the net that could identify and reward them with their just deserts (like some serious jail time).
