Thanks. :-) I didn't think a wholesale deletion was warranted -- some of our members may find the recaps on the site useful.

You're probably right. The "you ought to make it clear this is a shill" idea came to me after I wondered aloud about deleting the thread at all.

This guy posted the same thing at the GSN boards. I wonder why he does not want us to know its his?

Because he wants us to think he's just a regular game show fan who found a great site to share, rather than a guy who's just shilling for his bosses.

I was going to say he had good taste in targets - at least until I saw he was on the other boards.

I guess that pretty much seals the deal that he's an asshat spammer. If there was any doubt to start with.

(Betcha they fall for it hook, line, and sinker over there.)

It seems Brendy deleted that thread over there.

Given both the quality of the "discussions" there nowadays, and the favorite topic of discussion among the group's most prolific "contributors," I'd say the name is perfect.

I agree with the spammer part, but if he's an asshat, then what do you consider a spambot?

Huh?

Joe Mello · « **Reply #27 on:** July 12, 2007, 11:30:35 PM »

It was an honest question. See, I've been on boards that have had plenty of spam posts, but this feels more pre-meditated than bots. Sure, he's two-faced and all that, but I've seen worse.

Great. I still don't know what in the blue hell you're asking.

Basically, he's asking if you consider spambots worse than people who post spam. Which is a silly question, because a spambot doesn't appear spontaneously out of nowhere -- obviously someone has to decide to write one, and someone has to decide to use it.

An asshat spammer is still an asshat spammer, whether he's manually posting the messages one at a time or using a spambot to do it automatically.
