As many regular visitors of the site know we are forever waging a war against spam bots here. We are generally quick to exterminate them and their threads thanks to quick reporting by our members and vigilance by the moderating team and I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to bring spambots to our attention.

However tonight something happened that genuinely made me both angry and disappointed at the same time and also made me question the common sense of some of our most prolific and well known members.

A porn spambot made a thread on the forum with graphic images and links in its opening post. People proceeded to post in this thread not once or twice, but nine times.

So this thread was bumped to the top of the latest discussion tab and given more views nine times with idiotic posts ranging from the usual "reported" to people just thinking they are funny.

Let me make it clear:

DO NOT BUMP OBVIOUS SPAM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS PORNOGRAPHIC!

Just report it!

Thanks.

I am going to take a few hours out to calm down before I take any action if any on the people who bumped that last thread, my immediate reaction being to suspend you all for your stupidity.

Commenting on this thread all the time is just as obnoxious as the spam bumping. Most of them are noobs who don't even know this exists. Bumping it now isn't going to make them any more likely to see it. It's already pinned

Well, if people will bump spam posts because it hits recent, you'd think they'd be smart enough to see this?

I bumped a spam today myself without thinking. (Was trying to be funny, but I realized in hindsight that wasn't really a good place for that)

So I'd like to apologize and I won't be doing that again. ^_^
