This spammer sucks !

Thanks David for reporting all this nonsense

Yup, thanks David. Maybe we need to bump all the other threads in order to get the spammer off the first page.

Always enjoy a good challenge (reporting every single one within seconds of its appearance, no matter how many that is or how long it takes..,)

If it makes you feel any better, some have been killed before they posted. Algorithm or webmaster, either way, it could be worse.

I got nothing better to do today than follow this jackass (contractors working in my home, I just gotta be here). Expect more.

Funny you should ask that phred, I know just the guy with a number for you !!!

Unfortunately commenting on older threads only boosts them up within their own thread. To push things down the front page, you have to create a new thread. Which just ends up being more spam like this ! But at least we’re having a chat, and know for example that David has contractors at his house. I hope for something fun and new David and not just boring repairs !!

Yes, we decided to remodel, knock out some walls in my Seattle area mansion, put in an Infinity Pool and a wine cellar to go with the new sauna and squash courts. Also needed to upgrade the instrument landing system on our rooftop heliport, to enable quick hops over to Seatac Airport when the weather was below minimums. Work seems to be moving right along, we should be ready to enjoy the new wing by nightfall. Now, let me go pop a bottle of Krug and pass it around for the hard working construction staff, they've been hitting it out of the park. Then I have some moles to whack.

(Reality check: Some of the above may be an exaggeration)

Hmmmm now to analyze which parts are exaggeration and how many helipads are real . . .

I would believe the sauna and wine cellar

Heli-pad, pool and squash court is dubious. Any area that big in Seattle is occupied by 'campers'

David, you may need to ask AT&T and Verizon to lower the 5G rollout around the helipad so it doesn't interfere with the instrument landings.

No time for flying the helicopter, too many moles to whack

Definitely a bot with as many as have been posted over the last 5 minutes.

At least they're more colorful now, makes it more fun to smack them

Can’t smack them fast enough!!! What if we all post new questions to kick them off the front page while the webmaster deals with them?

I did my part, but the remodelers at my house keep asking me questions about colors and design for the new paint and furniture so I have to go think….. 🤣🤣
@Pam, no smart remarks!

Seems one of the RS elves is working the the weekend. The trash is gone.

Now all we need is for the garbageman strike in Edmonds to be over so it gets hauled to its fitting resting place. The pile behind the RS bldg may exceed the building height limit for Edmonds.

The Bat-Signal has been seen, the Red Phone has been answered. And as luck would have it, my contractors have just finished and left.

Time for a little Krug down at the squash courts, before I hop in the helicopter and fly off to run some errands.

Happy MLK weekend.

Unfortunately commenting on older threads only boosts them up within their own thread. To push things down the front page, you have to create a new thread.

That doesn't seem to be the case for me when using the "Travel Forum: All Topics" view. Threads appear to be sorted by the last update of any thread. Ancient threads will float to the top when an update is made to them. I've never seen that portal sorted by the thread creation date. I routinely see the "spam" comments float to the top of the list of all threads when someone posts "reported". I would prefer not to see all the spam at the top of the list but that's always been the case.

They’re back…11 so far in the past 1/2 hour.

Silas, I always look at All Posts. So much easier to see what’s new, fun, interesting, relevant. You’re right, current response/post floats to the top so it’s easy to see.

Now I have real poop (horse) to shovel instead of what the spammers are plopping out.

you mean there's no moles???

Nobody noticed and reported lawnmower man? Man, I pull in here 3 pages behind and not one of you guys got lawnmower man?

I guess that moles and lawns go together.

Fair play I guess, I'd never seen a lawnmower man spam before...

Aha, SilasMarner, I see what you mean now. I didn't know that since that’s not the way I look at it! You've taught me something new today .

Oh Kim! All topics is the easiest way to look at the forum. It's the view I have bookmarked and is so easy. No flipping back and forth!

Sorry the IT team is having to work today but thankful for them all the same!

Ok, I always use All Topics but don’t have it bookmarked - so it takes me extra seconds to get there. Lol!

And Nigel, I did not see the lawnmower guy, although I need one so maybe I should have checked with him to see if he travels….. Ha!

Kim, I hope you find "All Topics" a useful tool. "All Topics" appeals to my INTJ personality. LOL

There's so much spam today that I can't even mark the ones I reported since the system thinks I'm double, triple, and more posting. Poor Webmaster is going to be very busy Monday. Wish these idiots would give up. I can't even cuss them out like I do spam phone callers (sorry if I offended anyone but they usually deserve it.)

Posted by

Oh they definitely deserve it.

What do they get by posting here though ? I don't think any of us are tricked by their posts. Is it just that the more places their posts appear, it helps in SEO rankings and such?

I hope the Webmaster is getting paid for his/her OT this weekend, as the spam posts keep disappearing ! Wow!

Posted by

yes, one of the knights in shining armour is earning their keep this weekend!!

Thanks Webmaster Pros!!

Imagine the frustration of the weekend spammers who suddenly find their legs knocked out from under them! Poor lawnmower man. Poor airline help line man!!

dpl, where have you read about the methodology?

Posted by

Lol, dpl. Maybe you have missed a few posts over the weekend. Basically with the flood over the last couple of days, people have NOT been responding on the spam post but having fun or being informative on posts like this. New approach! :)

good news that somebody has taken out the trash again...
