and what about oversized lettering and excessive use of colors? 
Yep, the first post is ugly, garish, oversized, and meant to get your attention. :)
..and I like the way you use red for "yes, go ahead" and green for "don't".. :D
Red is bad, green is good. :)
Great improvement, thanks! :)
Much appreciated, thanks!
I like it!
Great!
I have to admit - I had to restrain myself from hitting the "mark as SPAM" on the first post. My inner child just really wanted to hit the button.
Thanks for your work admin.. In the last days i missed the spam button. There were a lot of spammers around.
Sounds like a good solution. The last example of what does constitute spam is the one I frequently see on here and have that natural to want to delete :)
I wonder if there has ever been a spammer whose main purpose was selling canned spam. Sort of like a double-spammer, or a spam-scammer. Just curious. Maybe John Cleese would qualify as the original spammer.
Yay for having the spam button back! :)
Hehe. I remember about ten years back, when Hormel's lawsuits were all over Slashdot (to be fair, as far as I can tell, they were mostly trying to defend their trademark and prevent trademark dilution) and for a while, everybody was going nuts over using "spam" (the term generally used to refer to unsolicited, commercial content) vs. "SPAM" (the trademark). Hormel even had a policy statement on their website back then. These days, there's a spam museum and I've heard that they even show the Monty Python skit there.
Sir, I believe the term is meta-spammer.
more SPAM yesss! great idea.
Thanks again guys for your support and help at weeding out spam. We now have enough users in all the time zones to pretty much guarantee that enough users will be on shift at almost any time of the day to promptly shoot down spam. Saves me a lot of time and effort, and results in much cleaner boards for all.
the ugly can be art as well!
Shootin em down mighty quick...I like it.
fishmaniac, thought got a bug in my screen. lol
Got me too. I do have a few ants running around my home lately and thought I had an ant on my screen lol
