No, really, in case not everyone knows -- don't click on the links, no matter how interesting they look. Spam continues because it works, and they can track that you clicked from Hatrack.

Yes, it's pretty much the same one as last night, but with better spelling. Amilia wins by 46 seconds.

Damn, I think you beat me to it.

That's a lot of spam. I blame my second place finish on the amount of time needed to scroll to the bottom.

You know, it might be a good idea for the webmaster(s) to look into implementing a limit on how many links a single post could contain.

Of course, it'd be simpler just to not allow a user to post a link until, say, their fifth post. But that's already been suggested and it doesn't look like they want to do that.

Or how 'bout a limit on how many times the word "tramadol" appears?

On the bright side, this spammer can spell. I like that we're at least getting a higher caliber parasite.

Given the volume of spam, maybe there ought to be a couple more moderators who are only allowed to deal with spam topics. It seems a little unfair that Papa Moose should always have to deal with this kind of stuff.

That sounds like a reasonable idea...although, even one link in the post still leaves PJ to deal with it.

At least Hatrack has fun with it...I have to say that I want the win at least once, just for the heck of it.

When did this stuff start? I don't remember any of this crap popping up before I left.
