Ugh. Look, as I've stated, neither I nor the other mod - samesamebutdifferent - have made a CENT off of deleting the spam. No one here has "slipped over" a btc for it. We do not encourage or ask for btcs to be given for the spam deletion. You also seem not to realize this, but it is the admins who make the changes / rules here -- NOT THE MODS. Which current moderator have you seen asking for money to delete the spam? The only moderator that anyone has given btc to here is nomad, and he is no longer a moderator. Even then, I never recall seeing him ask for btc in return for deleting the spam. These are such ridiculous accusations. So then you're calling us moderators not as smart as the mods at bitcointalk.org? Why? Moderators on this forum are not in charge of implementing new rules or updating the forum or setting restrictions. I (and many others, I'm sure) have suggested directly to DPR that the spam prevention could be done much better with a simple restriction on how many posts a new member can make within a certain amount of time. Beyond suggesting it to DPR, there is nothing more we can do. He is the one who has to make the decision and implement those changes. Not moderators -- DPR himself.
