Lobby Guidelines

You've made it through the revolving doors and now you can mingle and mill about. If you feel like spamming, please head down the hall to the right to the RecRoom. But, if you'd like to meet people, chat about nothing in particular, you know...have polite conversation that doesn't seem to fit easily into any of the other rooms, this is the place!

The Lobby is not for serious debates, there are other areas for those types of conversations. It is more for relaxed chatting or discussing things that don't fit elsewhere. Politics, religion and philosophy have their own place on the site

But remember, always play by the rules: here
See more
See less

Is there a way ...

    Is there a way ...

    ... to report spammers before they post?

    If not, then I'll post it here: new member RoseanneH is most likely a spammer: http://stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/95.6.7.188

    To cut down on spam, I propose auto-banning all users who have numbers in their username.

      There are legitimate users who have numbers, and spammers who do not. However, I strongly recommend using email verification and checking with a "known offenders" list, such as the one I linked to above.

          The problem with spammers is that they sometimes hire third-worlders to solve CAPTCHA's for them so they can spam.

              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    If we prebanned everybody the staff wouldn't have any work to do.

                    And we can't have that now, can we?

                            Would this be too mean of a joke? "except spambots are smarter and don't have the logic problems and research fails"

                              We could probably pull a "Ransom of Red Chief" scenario with that. "Here, you can have our Canadians ... but you have to pay to give them back."
