We (moderators) zap them as soon as we see them and ban them permanently. The site admins are working to figure out why all of a sudden these last couple of days has been so bad.

Steph and Dud B Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 By the way, if you ever have a chance to visit the SPAM Museum in Austin, MN it's worth the stop. However, do NOT let your cat sample some of the more unusual flavors. (Worst pet flatulence ever!) 4 1 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior.

It’s not related to your computer. It’s the moderators on the forum that quickly remove spam posts. But this morning it was a very different type of spam/fake user/bot posts. This forum was getting bombarded this morning by HUNDREDS of spam posts about bogus airline ticket reservations from fake user accounts. The moderators quickly removed all those posts and have temporarily blocked any new users from joining until a better security solution is found to prevent fake bot user accounts. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula It was pretty ridiculous early this morning. There were so many spam posts coming in continuously that it was hard to find any of the real user posts! The moderators did a great job of putting an end to it and removing those posts. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like fried and grilled spam. Maybe an acquired taste, as I'm from Spam country in Southern Minnesota. School lunch spam, with raisin sauce, was one of my favorites, as a kid. I know, weird. Lol. I liked fish sticks, too, back then. Probably because neither was often on the home menu. 2 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted January 2, 2023 Moderator+ Share Posted January 2, 2023 For Hawaii, Spam is no mere novelty. On average, Hawaiians consume more than five cans of the stuff per person per year — more than any other U.S. state. SPAM: Special Processed American Meat. Personally, I'd rather have possum and sweet potatoes with a side of foie gras. 1 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved dogs Storm, Lucy, Maggie and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
