Post by: john on December 08, 2013, 11:45:17 PM
Have they found a way around our GS500 related questions?

Those people should rot in Hell.

I had a thought ..... About spam control .... I don't know if it's possible with a bot perhaps? .... And I think it could work being that enough of us are mostly mature ...

A bot .... Set to watch for 'reported to moderator' with "spam" as the subject/comment .... If 3 or maybe 5? reports all with "spam" as comment ... The the bot automatically deletes the thread and cancels the sign up? .... Just as a way to automate it a little so the mods aren't getting their fun time ruined by having to deal with shitty spam reports?

(OK - just a legacy AOL account so don't blast me)

We have voice and facial recognition and even license plate recognition for parking violations and google can find anything even if you spell it wrong,  but AOL can't understand an email with this title from Russia is spam:

"Tas tyVi agr aB lon dH otP harma cy"

They must make money on spam.
