some thoughts on moderation

[deemery]

So, this thread has no bearing on the so called Scotch Club or what ever you guys call yourselves out there? 
 
I thought this might be like an AA step or some such

All y'all doing a fine job keeping the place swept out and runnin' smooth. 

Uh, nope.  And That's A Good Thing.

There's one spammer username that has tried to apply (with a different spammer email address each time), probably 20 times.   Doesn't matter how many times you try, you're not getting in....

(Mostly, these posts are for everyone's amusement about what I'm seeing with spam applications.)

It baffles me how persistent some of these are. You would think they could just learn a little about the forum's topic and blend in....

Nah.  It's all about 'get in, dump their spam'  Spammers know their time is short once they post their garbage.  And there's no cost for applying time and time again, it just takes one slip by a moderator.

What bothers me A Lot is how many of the spammers are using GMail accounts.  You'd think Google wouldn't want their product used that way.  Oh, that's right.  WE are Google's product.  Advertisers, including spammers, are their customer.
