Do you remember the days when ....?

[Flo]

You could log in and be greeted with all sorts of wonderful spam for every rubbish item under the sun and dodgy links to suspect websites? Doesn't that seem a long time ago?

We're not lifting the spam filters, Flo! Not unless you fancy being moderator. We used to spend literally hours each day zapping the b*ggers and that was with a team of 7 or 8 mods. There are only 3 of us now.

I'm too old and weary for all that again.

(Although I don't know where to buy cheap trainers any more ).

Maggie I would rather you keep the spam filters in place. Never again a moderator with spam on the side ... But there were the days when reporting spam was one of the things I did early in the mornings when I logged in here.

And some of the spam was totally ridiculous wasn't it?

[Green Aura]

Indeed it was, Flo. We may never know how to make cheap chicken coops or buy authentic gold wristwatches but life is peaceful.
