By the way, I'm somewhat surprised Ashfire is not on the list.

Especially since ashfire, on his lonesome, actually managed to filter out all of the spam threads in IRC.

This is a good step, but the real solution is fixing the forums to prevent activities of this nature.

Block links for posts from new accounts.
Limit the number of posts that can be made by a new account per day.
Mandantory 2 minutes time limit between posts.
Add the spammer keywords to the spam filter.
Implement a human capcha that requires game knowledge.

That's all this is supposed to be - a temporary thing until a more permanent solution is reached. Until the forums move to vanilla or whatever, this is what will be done. I am not sure whether we'll still be on spam duty if we move to different forums - there's a possibility we'll just be going back to being regular users.

These are dark times. A shadow of despair hangs over the forums like a dark cloud.

Oh come on, I'm not THAT bad.

Congrats to the spam warriors who were selected! May their mighty ban hammers/swords/mini-nukes/(weapon of choice) always strike true against the vile spam that dares pollute our great forums!

Can the Paladins Of Spam be given white skins for all their mechs and a unique No Spam pilot emblem in return for their more-repetitive-than-Candy-Crush work_

Can`t at least those who did a lot of the reporting when it began get a badge or something_ I mean seriously, me, AJK and quite a lot of other people did a lot of reporting, but I can only talk for myself when I say I (and probably many others) stopped when we heard you were looking into the problem with Babaji.

I just want to see a thank you to all of us that were in the early beginnings of this meaningless and horrible war against Babaji and his soccer games and black magic.

...are you serious requesting for a noddy badge_

I advise that you consult Baba Ji for self-esteem solutions.

Why not_ It wouldn`t hurt anybody, and we don`t need anything special, just a "Thank you for your help".

Not that bad.

Well that went fast.

[Houruck]

I am glad ReEvolve is among them, so there is someone on guard in Central European Time.

[AmpliFIRE]

And we need you right now.
Baba Ji is back.

[Houruck]

Okay, seems like this thread will be spammed by the community.

To answer an earlier question: yeah, we see spam reports. Sorry that none of us were awake to notice this last guy! Just woke up, but he's gone now. That'll probably be the end of the spam until later tonight.

Pffft.
Like they're going to give me any sort of acknowledgement. There's bad blood between them and their perception of me. And I'll stop believing that about the same time they provide the proof of the alleged previous written warnings they took action against me for.

Besides, I already have a custom title, given to me by Hugs.
