Spammers

wstrickland1 · 09-22-2020, 02:02 PM

If it wasn't frowned upon I'd Rick-Roll some of these spammers. In case you don't know that term:

Rick Rolling is the art of tricking a person into opening a video of Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up". Normally users posting such links will pretend that they are relevant to the topic in order to fool people into the opening. If you've ever been rickrolled, you'll know how torturous it is. Next time there's a very annoying person in a chat room, start at Step 1 to rickroll that person.

1. Find a website with the rickroll video. YouTube has several videos of them, and there are also websites that host the music video. Find one that suits you.

2. Cut or copy the link to the music video you choose and paste it into a tiny URL service. Some let you choose the URL. If the one you choose lets you, try to make it something relevant to the topic of conversation.

3. Post the link in the chat room and claim it's relevant to the conversation.

4. Enjoy the reactions of those who were rickrolled.

No disrespect to the late Rick Astley. I think he'd be all for it.

Don't reply to Spam post! ... just click the little red triangle on the left and send a message to an admin.... the post/thread 'will be deleted .... the poster banned! ..... This is how to keep these forums clean of the spam leaches.

Most of these spammers only make one post or only one in several threads. They don't make followup replies.

Good! then I wouldn't be hitting the Red Triangle and labeling you as a spammer troll with useless post for the forum and topic. ..... Let the Admins take care of the Spammers .... that is part of their job.

I am. .... But I hate Spam and those that post it. I'm admin on another forum and have banned entire countries (mostly Asian) for spamming that forum. It took about 6 months, but I got the spam under control and mostly stopped.

And if you look at it upside down, it says, "I yield."

wstrickland1 · 02-15-2021, 02:15 PM

So should we rickroll any of them?

Yug · 02-15-2021, 09:55 PM

There is a guy I listen to on the radio who 'rick-rolls' anyone calling in that expresses any good sentiments about his female co-host.

Just send my cat after them. He's probably looking for some extra coin now anyway, since he slipped some Abba into my podcast today.
