It is actually quite rare to get spam on these forums now, so somebody has done a good job to keep most of it out.

It's the new forum software. It sure as hell isn't me. I've been so busy with other things that I'm only coming by once every day or two.

Dear everybody,

Because I'm currently overwhelmed with school and work, and my free time has dwindled to practically zero, I would like you all to just start flagging posts that require moderation (be they spam, flames, trolling or anything else), so that I can take care of them even if I'm not following the forum on a day-to-day basis.

Thanks,

Kenny

I'm just going to remind you all that this thread is here, so you guys can post on it when you report things. I check this particular forum far more often than I do check the website as a whole, so keep that in perspective.

Don't worry, nothing fishy is going on.

I suppose this was neither the time, nor the plaice to post that pic.

What's next, swimming horses? Or maybe sea horses? Well, I guess we can always let this charade squid...

You've got it:

Jeroen Krautmeir · Post by **Jeroen Krautmeir** » 15 Feb 2011, 10:56

Has the anti-spam thread become the, spam thread then? :lol:

I have to agree. It has became a bit of a damp squid... sorry, squib. :lol:

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 16 Feb 2011, 01:33

Yeah, why not make more fish jokes on the trout? :lol:

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 16 Feb 2011, 15:14

Perhaps it is best not. Its a barbed wire field that one!

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 16 Feb 2011, 23:49

Indeed. Our Australian Overlords can explode in conger if we use the thread to report spam to actually spam...

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 17 Feb 2011, 11:08

Or because these painful jokes can be their Achilles eels...

watka · Post by **watka** » 17 Feb 2011, 13:24

Well I think this thread has actually bought a ray of sunshine to this forum.

Facepalm.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 17 Feb 2011, 18:47

So, we're ... drowning ... in a ... flood ... of lame posts?

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 17 Feb 2011, 21:25

Is there anybody out there angling for more puns? Or is it all a scam(pi)?

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 18 Feb 2011, 10:12

Well, it seems people keep fishing puns out of a pond.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 18 Feb 2011, 13:35

Maybe even Halibut would be interested in making a film of this...

thehemogoblin · Post by **thehemogoblin** » 19 Feb 2011, 02:07

You guys have done what I thought was salmonly impossible. And you did it with ruthless effishiency.

cretoxyrhina · Post by **cretoxyrhina** » 19 Feb 2011, 02:44

Trouthfully, we're still floundering.

thehemogoblin · Post by **thehemogoblin** » 19 Feb 2011, 02:45

It's good to know I was your sole inspiration.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 19 Feb 2011, 14:38

Enough of this, I'm going to play tetra, eh, I mean, Tetris now.

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 21 Feb 2011, 10:40

Well, at least we caught a whiff of good puns!

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 21 Feb 2011, 23:59

At least we can't say it was a hake.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 22 Feb 2011, 09:57

Puns are the heart and sole of this forum. And we would have to tuna piano before any party we organise.

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 22 Feb 2011, 10:33

We should even do some fliers for that party. Ide could even come by!!!

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 23 Feb 2011, 00:48

And Ross Prawn indeed. And John Barnarcle too.

Dear moderators, a minute ago, something strange happened that I'd like you to investigate. I clicked on this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4014 and I got a virus alert and an alert from my firewall that some software wanted access to the internet. My guess is that one of the photos on the page contains troublesome code.
I hope it's not those Indian hackers again. After all, we are supporters of both Force 1ndia and Karun Chandhok on this board, aren't we?

I also had the same problem the other day, watch out guys.

P_Friesacher · Post by **P_Friesacher** » 31 Mar 2011, 23:48

Just as a precaution - could you please tell us, which page that is so that it can be avoided?

I've posted an image to that thread - the one with the Felipe Massa ad. It's hosted on my Dropbox account, so I'll check it up right away, and in case it's at fault I'll change/delete it. You may be right about malicious code hiding in image metadata and just waiting for faulty image-loading software to trigger it.

Edit: I've just updated my antivirus to the latest version, then checked the image file up - "no threats found". Might try checking the rest... but had no trouble with that thread so far.

Following up on Jeroen's suggestion of putting anti-spam reports here instead of the 'Wonderful world of shoe spam' thread.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4659
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4660
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4661
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4662

Although perhaps it would've been more appropriate there, considering one of those spam threads is for shoes.

Post by **Londoner** » 03 Jan 2012, 15:43

Mr Moderators, please can you merge the new shoe spam thread with the epic one?
