21 Comments on Sir Spamalot, Active Rain, The Mortgage Crisis, Food for the hungry and Reporting Concerns!
I got EIGHT spams within like 5 minutes or so yesterday. No joke. They weren't even linked to anything, which makes me wonder what noob is totally wasting their time doing this!?
John...at Alexander- Yep! I couldnt resist when I found this pic! I am hoping the boys & girls at AR read this!! - Thanks!
Steve- Dude, I only gave THREE examples, I currently have 120 points for reporting spam...and I had already deleted probably 25 or so without reporting them! ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
D
Darin... I just ignore them.... I report the spam and go back 1 day later to delete the comment... and then I move on. It's an inconvenience, but I won't spend time worrying about it. The world we live in now, this will always happen. Once AR finds a better way to deal with it, those %$#$^$^@^# will find a better way to spam again. I think of it this way, just part of life... it sucks, but deal with it. ;o)
Back to helping fight crime amongst the FHA canidates that get taken advantage of. That's my job.. leaving the spam fighting and complaining up to others... ;o)
Jeff B- You got it! Fighting the good fight as they say...you know..and we have talked about this....Ignorance has been around since the Garden of Eden...but if noone tried to fight it...it will only get worse...probably wont get better, but I dont mind trying to hold back the wall of water...You know?? Im just hoping AR will comment...! Thanks! Darin
But the question is.... will i lose points when the spam is cleaned?
Darin - As I've mentioned in other posts, I've got more spam than a poverty stricken family with five kids. What I don't know is the point in it. They don't seem to be peddling anything in particular. But hey, if they get you to talking about strippers, porn sites, & light sabers... maybe their ultimate goal has been realized?
TB- You know, I changed the COUNTY my business FOCUS was in on my profile, and lost 3883 points. I dont dare publish the email I got back from AR...it wasnt cool....They will never feature me again!!! - So...i dont know...what they are going to do! I am hoping THEY Will comment!
Jason- I am happy that I can talk about strippers, porn sites,light sabers, and the uSDA all in one blog! Man, Im proud to be an American!
Darin, I've had my share of spammers from several foreign countries as well. I just reported them and received 10 points...cha-ching! The best to you and thanks for a very entertaining post!
Dude.....I live on spam. I don't even have to work here on AR ever again I have so many posts and the spam keeps stacking. Pass the mustard please!
Darin~ I haven't had much spam in here since I changed my settings to no anonymous comments. Have you changed your settings?
WANDA- THANK YOU AS ALWAYS! You know, I loved your pig in a poke post today!
Gary- I have some great mortgage leads for you, what is your email so I can spam you with them>? They are called The BUCKY TRIGGER LEADS!!!- :) Oh, and I am selling some AIR JORDANS too!
Larry B- Aka: FLANDERS.... will doo.................
Vickie- Thank you..no, I had not done that! Im a moron! >>>> :) Seriously...thank you!
I had to stop allowing outside comments as well. It stopped the spam for me! Darn, now I get no extra points... oh well it's better this way. ~Rita
HEY THERE RITA!!
I just went in and did that today! Kinda stinks...but hey, if that is what it takes!! - Hope all is well in Colorado!
D
Thanks Gary, I hadn't even thought about reporting the Lead spam. hehehe I am on it. click 10... click 10
Darin,
Your blog says Wisconsin, but your profile page says Nashville, TN. Either way, I've lost touch with you, and am glad to find you in the Rain!
Mike in Tucson
Darin...really good and fun, too bad that it deals with actual situations; Let me get this clear--if we move to another area [ which we plan soon] and change the location on our profile [which we will do once we have a new Broker] ARE you telling me that we too will lose points? Yikes--don't know what points are 'For', but do like to see them appear,
Thanks for the info & the Laugh
Barb
Great post. Made my evening.
Hey Daren, I was cc'd on the latest response to your great post.
Haven't heard from you for a while and hope everything is going well for you.
Bill
