Jeez, this is annoying! Is this some sort of autistic denial-of-service-attack?!

Anything we can do about it? (Hunting crossbow sounds good about now!)

No. It's run of the mill spammers who have hit on the idea of posting vaguely relevant messages then going back later and editing them into spam to get around automatic anti-spam measures on forums.

We aren't that high-tech here anyway but when I notice them, I'll nuke their account.

However, if someone has already replied to them, the thread will stay bumped.

An autistic person doesn't pick up readily on non-verbal cues but they would pick up on the bluntly put warning at the bottom of ancient threads when you try to reply to them.

So the people reviving necro-threads are actually the opposite of autistic. Whatever that is.

Just had a thought (oh noes! everyone run!)

A simple fix would be to disallow new accounts (or low karma accounts maybe) from posting to the ends of threads with the spider and cobwebs.

Can we do the same with people whose fingers smell of racism and all threads?

I do wonder about putting up a bait thread with all the keywords/phrases in there

Like "I want to check my credit score to see if I can get a loan so I can bet on the result of writing my dissertation on PPI claims to pay for the solicitor for my personal injury."

Can you set it up so it gives an isnstaban to anyone posting?

I think the trick would be to bury it well down the forum and see if it pops up to the top. I'll have a think. Easiest way would probably be to put it in general chat then lock it for a couple of weeks.

Would need to have a think about key words too.

Maybe, might just concentrate them in one place so they can be easily banned? Especially the ones that post a seemingly innocent reply to a legit thread. If they appear in that one, they're at it.

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 3 years, 310 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
