OK, Everybody! Let Us ALL Stop Responding To SPAM Posts!
Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 6:23 am
Good evening everybody:
I would like to make a suggestion . . .
. . . that we ALL stop responding to SPAM posts on our forums.
When I say ALL, I include myself as well, because I too have been guilty of it as well.
So, as of now, I am not going to respond to SPAM posts anymore, and I hope you all do the same.
It's time to boycott SPAM, and wait for the moderators to delete their fucking bullshit!!!
Of course, it's really not my place to tell anybody here what to do, or not do, that is up to the board moderators.
I'm merely making a suggestion. OK?
Yes, I understand it's hard to resist posting a humorous comment to make fun of these idiots, and I have also done the same, and as a result, some of the posts that originally started out as SPAM have become full blown topics, so, I'm just as guilty.
But, I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm not going to respond to SPAM anymore!
The reason why I'm suggesting this, is because our topics covering more important issues, such as political issues, educational issues, or really important social issues, these topics get pushed further and further down toward the bottom of the page, while all the silliness remains at the top.
Many of my topics on Evolution, and topics on really important educational and political issues get pushed down, and some of my topics get no responses as a result, and I'm getting sick and tired of it!!!
This is just another form of censorship, because all the topics on more important issues gets buried under all the sewage and sludge from the spammers, who think that they're are going to get rich by posting links to web sites advertising pharmaceutical products or whatnot.
I have also noticed that the majority of topics that have been hit by spammers have been my past topics on politics or Evolution, and I believe that it's a deliberate attempt to disrupt the flow of conversation on some of these topics.
I feel like some of my topics are being singled out by these unknown spammers, and it's really starting to give me the creeps!
I don't know, maybe I'm just being paranoid. OK?
But I have a theory as to who might be sponsoring these spammers.
I believe that it's not just pharmaceutical companies, or whatever, but mostly right-wing political and religious extremists, and professional sports organizations (in the guise of pharmaceutical companies) in an attempt to disrupt our forum topics and to disrupt the flow of conversation.
It's just another subtle way of shutting us up!
They lack the technical knowledge of how to hack in and take down a web site forum, so they settle for the next best thing, and that is, to SPAM forum topics, and quite often, I have wanted to respond to somebody in a topic, but that topic had been hit with over 10 copies of the same SPAM post, so I have had to wait until the SPAM has been deleted before I can respond to someone, and I'm sure you all have experienced the same.
That's how it works. If you can't take down a forum, then hit it as hard as you can with SPAM, and disrupt their topics and the flow of conversation so the forum members can't respond to one another.
And it works, because who wants to have to scroll down through 10 or more copies of some SPAM to post a response to someone in a topic? Eh?
I should know, because there have been many evenings when I had wanted to post a response to someone, but I had to wait many hours before the SPAM was cleared away, and because of this, there has been much that I had wanted to say, but it had remained unsaid.
Yeah! A good way to shut us up!!!
SPAM is a form of censorship!
Any company, or organization who sponsors these spammers with promises of payments, they should have federal charges filed against them and hit with heavy fines, and have their companies shut down, and the owners should get 20 years in the federal penitentiary.
That of course would spell the end of the NFL, the NBA, all the professional sports organizations, all these right-wing political organizations, and right-wing religious groups, like Pat Robertson's 700 Club, because I'm sure they are the ones who are sponsoring these spammers for the sole purpose of disrupting any web site forum where anybody (like myself for example) who happens to disagree with them.
Yeah, these spammers know that they will get banned and their SPAM eventually gets deleted, but, they really don't care, as long as they can disrupt the flow of conversation on a forum, then they will have done what they had set out to accomplish.
These spammers have a sort of kamikaze mentality, meaning that they register to get onto a forum, knowing full well that they will get banned the same day, but really not caring, as long as they can disrupt the forum topics, because they know, there will be more spammers coming along to replace them.
They're like cockroaches!!!
This, of course, is only a theory of mine, I don't have proof, but to me it makes perfect sense.
Anyway . . . . . . .
Once again, I'm asking that we ALL, including myself, that we ALL, stop responding to these idiots and just ignore them, because responding to them only encourages them.
Let's wait for the moderators to delete their shit so we can continue on with our conversations.
OK?
Let us boycott SPAM!
Let us never respond to these spammers ever again!
I'm begging, pretty, pretty, please!
I'm begging, down on my fat dimpled knees!
OK?
Thank you
