Welcome Our New Moderator in Town!

[Bloggeries]

This title is actually a bit misleading. PaulR has been a moderator for a while now and I just thought I should give him the thanks he deserves. I said I'd start a post like this originally but he said no need.

Well there is a need. Since Paul Has been helping out around here I've had a lot more time to focus on the forum. One of the curses of being "out there" on the web is that spammers flock to you. I used to spend a good deal of time trolling the forums each morning removing spam. I still do find some but Paul catches most of it before me and I'd like to thank him publicly for that.

That being said I'm really happy that Paul is kind enough to volunteer his time in this regard. Spammers are like cockroaches, if you don't get rid of them immediately they expand and expand and expand.

Don't believe me? collectorforum.net :: Index I set that up a while ago and had big plans before I started on my current ventures. This example is excessive but it also happens to other established forums too. It's a constant battle!

!! Do not respond to this message. Your reply will go nowhere. !!

LOL - You know a site is getting spammed A LOT when this happens. There isn't one normal registered user ; just 100% spammers. I should probably close it down before it gets banned or something!

[Inhibitor]

99.99% spammers, and one registered user, Rob.

[Bloggeries]

LOL! The first time I visited after I had forgotten I was like "OMG" this is amazing. That quickly wore off. I'm going to let the bandwidth exceed.

Spammers definitely multiply like crazy if you don't zap 'em in the beginning. I'm a moderator/global admin on a couple well-known, non-blogging related forums, and it can get ridiculous if you're not careful, lol. Mods need all the thanks they can get, so definitely keep up the good work Paul!

Man, Expanding Cockroaches ... My worst nightmare.

[QuirkyJessi]

Wow, what a bump Beamer. I had to go read the original post from a year ago to see why the heck you were talking about roaches in the first place, geesh, lol.
