Sigh...

I have nothing really to say other than I am getting sick of seeing spam tonight. It's times like this that I had the knowledge of how to remotely wipe people's hard drives so they can't harass/irritate the world with their pointless crap. Thanks for listening.

lol I don't think any of us like spammmer...and sadly I don't think it's a matter of wiping a person's hard drive as most of them are bots.

The only reason I would like to wipe someone's hard drive is it would force them to reinstall everything and set up all their software again which is a pain in the ass and takes time to do.

Spam bots would be impossible to do that to, One bot will use many IP addresses from different countries.

I seen that you reported some this morning, but in total you aren't seeing half of what we get rid of. Most people won't. But there is a short period of time in the early morning that one of us mods isn't on here. We usually try to get them as soon as they show up.

Yeah theres so many that people dont see.

As for wiping a HDD,its not that hard to fix,many people have OS discs,and its a matter of popping it in and going.I highly doubt the spammers are dumb enough to use their main HDD when they do this stuff anyhow.I myself have five Hds,lol.So its a pick which one to wipe.

Believe me, I do appriciate you guys removing all the spam posts. Its just so irritating to me when I have to filter out all the garbage that gets posted.

Yea I have 2 HDD in my computer, 1 main 1 for backups and any video stuff. I then also have an external for my backup of my backup and then two more for extra backups. Makes life slightly easier.
