Title: Ode To Our Spammer Detector Thingy
Post by: Demosthenes on September 27, 2010, 08:32:07 PM

O in the wisdom of our dear friend Chris
We now largely give forum spam a miss
For whenever new users want to post
Piss and moan, and brag and boast

First they must be approved by us
So we know that they won't cause a fuss
The email, username, IP address
Is enough for us to then suppress

Accounts created by spammer twats
We point and click and get headshots.
They never whine, or cry or make a crack
We simply squash them, before the fact

So I as a mod do appreciate
The spammer detector thingy that is our gate
But I have to complain, just a touch
Because now I cannot ban as much.  :(

You know, that was probably one of the best mods that I think I've seen yet for the forums. And it works in about 95% of all cases, too.
