You know, you don't have to spam. You could take this opportunity to post helpful things or ask honest questions and in doing so you would both increase your knowledge and accomplish their secondary goal: not piss the general populace off with idiotic questions.
-
We only have one forum to do this in, a place with only new people where the primary topic is averting the new limits.
Even so, assuming I want to make a post something in the next few months that's pretty unreasonable.
-
And now the spammers have used the new popularity of this forum to post their spam here. Kind of ironic?
-
My favorite is that the spammer's count jumped way beyond any of ours in a matter of moments. Oh well, I still applaud the mod's effort.
-
I post only mindless or amusing things here. Not spamming exactly... but you have a good point lol

I suppose it's a big problem for Vendors or people who need to leave reviews on shit right now and can't anymore. I know I've got a couple of things in transit atm, I'm not in any rush right now, but come Monday or Tuesday I'll want to be able to leave feedback in Rumour Mill.
-
It seems to be working so well against the spammers, since now it will just be constant on here, it irritates me, they can not make exceptions by asking a mod, I only get one when I want to give away extra coin or to leave feedback, both of wjhich I cant do now

They could try a better captcha system. Anything but this.

SR is going down the tubes. hardly any good trust worthy vendors now and now all this nonsense?
-
Zebruh a big smile and a wink for ya :) ;)
We both are at 47 post, almost!
-
I don't know if i can see this section lasting!
-
I agree with the better captcha idea...
-
hope this is almost over
-
Wooo thanks barbie! you're beating me!
-
Almost, lol. ;)
Hope to see you over there with the big grown ups. :D

Congrats you guys only have one more to go.

I just smoked some dank

50 posts will be more posts than the rest of my posts on any forum combined, ever. :o

You just blew my mind...

I must say that this spamming takes more effort than I though initially so maybe it does help keeping dodgy vendors making fake accounts at bay after all.

If there is allot of money involved then 30 minutes of spamming won't make the difference.
Lots of scammers first act as a legit operation and turn scammer after a few months (through requiring to FE).
I'm more worried actual buyers now won't respond as often anymore to vendor review threads which imo are a GREAT source of information!

Good point.

I agree.

Excuse me? WTF are you talking about?
-

So... how do us buyers give our vendors reviews and how are some vendors meant to talk on the forums. -_-"

I think the vendor thing was an oversight that they'll (hopefully?) come up with a solution to. You'd think that once vendor status is conferred they'd be out of purgatory, but doesn't seem to be the case. The rest of us just have to keep each other entertained or spam til we get out of here. The review threads cropping up atm aren't a bad idea, but it would probably be good if people c+p them into the proper threads once they're out.

If you aren't a vet, your opinion does not matter anyway.

saves spamming

Another post, boom.

Its guaranteed that a large proportion of us 'noobs' are established members of the main site, but simply haven't posted asinine questions such as "sh1t b@llz:: why iz my silk road balance dropping?" or "iz got 5 kilo on its way...wot do i do??"
And the suggestion in the SR discussion thread:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=107186.60
that members with low post counts are more likely to be scammed has no basis. Mtl john got scammed by these cunts.
The admins obviously knew that this would be a spam flood, this is simply a holding pen to concentrate the "buy btkoin-quick send" shit into one area and give the moderators time to delete spam accounts before they reach 50 posts.
-
Maybe this will help us all to knw our spammer enemy better?
-
at the least, it keeps the spammers out of the main forum. but yes, i just learned about it and it can be annoying. however, it seems like many folks are making the best of it with stimulating conversation and clever posts.
-
Hey mods, great idea but poor execution.
-
;D
-
aahhh the irony of life
-

Yeah, I have no idea WTF they're talking about either.

resurrecting ridiculously old threads to reek havoc on the newbie section: MUAHAHAHAHA
