Cluttering up the forums, it just isn't cool.

Guys, I, personally, am here deleting spam for 18+ hours a day.  All day yesterday, included, but eventually I have to sleep.  I'm back on and cleaning it up, but some patience and understanding would be nice.

It's okay ... I know sometimes people don't realize that there are literally two of us doing this  - we're both on almost all day every day and the spam does come in throughout the day/night .... we are usually here to delete it, but no one can be here 24/7, so sometimes the spammers do hit again while we're offline.  We always clean it up as quickly as we get back on!  :)

Are you serious about this?

Which part?  But, yes, I'm serious -- and the other mod, samesamebutdifferent, does the same.  We both eventually have to sleep though.

If you hadn't put that stupid 50 posts rule I bet there wouldn't have been so much spam. Just my 2 cents.

FYI, moderators didn't come up with this policy - the admins did.  Also, no, you are misunderstanding -- the users spamming to 50 posts are fine - that is not the kind of spam people are talking about.  The reason for this policy was the bitcoin spammers advertising scam sites and stealing people's money.  Those are the spam posts we're discussing here.
