I believe that most forum software imposes delay of approx. ten seconds. This is not generally noticeable to humans but was deadly to early spambots. This delay was considered great success because it was invisible to users but reduced spam considerably.

 

Modern spamming software often allows user to insert a list of forums to spam simultaneously. The posting interval must be set greater than the longest delay imposed by any of those sites. Even one site which requires a delay of a minute raises the bar for all sites being spammed at the same time.

 

 

I notice attacks here most often have one minute intervals on the posts.

Your favorite dish, is it?

 

Nah, Fish'n'chips (or perhaps Japanese Curry) for me thanks!

 

But, I'd still rate the aforementioned mushroom/worm/black light delicacy higher than any quality a professional spammer may possess.

Looks like anime is the theme for tonight.

 

 

Well, FINALLY somethin' I might be at least a little interested in!

 

Gee, ya think if I click on one of these spams, I could maybe relive my preteen years and they'll show ASTRO BOY ?!

 

 

(...btw...I didn't remember Astro Boy's dad lookin' like Lyle Lovett)

When the mods have finished the cleanup in aisles (pages) 1 & 2, perhaps they might consider sending a complaint towards the abuse desk of the registrar of the domains being pushed by the Korean Spam Fairy (if they haven't already)? They seem to be registered with same registrar - who will probably try to wriggle out by saying that the spam isn't actually being posted from their systems, but who might take a dim view of domains they're sponsoring being associated with repeated forum spamming.

There are SEVEN separate spam accounts actively posting in General Discussions at the moment. I guess the Mods went home or are watching the Bachelor.

 

Or in the bathroom.

 

Or all three.

 

They might be watching Mr O'Toole. In the bathroom. With the WatchTCM app... ;)

This reminds me of a line by O'Toole in My Favorite Year.   He goes into the women's restroom to do his business.

 

A women in the bathroom yells out to him 'this is for women only!';   He yells back 'so is this!'.
