SPAM Forum experiment

jumpenjuhosaphat · 10-27-2006, 11:42 PM

I was on another forum and one of the members mentioned something about creating a forum where all of the members had moderator permissions. So, I dedcided to make a forum especially for spammers. They can spam, delete posts, edit posts, add polls, edit polls, and do most moderator duties, except delete posts and ban members. I want to see how fast the forum will fill up with members and how fast the board will be overran by SPAM. I am only going to leave this up for a few weeks, then I am going to delete it. If you come across any SPAMMERS, refer them to this site.

jumpenjuhosaphat · 10-28-2006, 05:23 AM

I hope it lasts longer than that, but if not, it'll be fun anyway.

Hi there,

Sounds like a good idea, but make sure you don't end up on the spam database! Don't know how it works for things like this?!

Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

I don't think I have to worry about that unless I myself were spamming. But I'd never do that.

lexmarks567 · 10-28-2006, 10:34 PM

for some reason its not being a big hit.nobodys signing up.only 2 members.

jumpenjuhosaphat · 10-28-2006, 10:42 PM

Yeah, not yet. But I'm not really doing anything to spread the word except having people send their spammers my way. So send your spammers.

lexmarks567 · 12-04-2006, 10:31 AM

You still working on this you still only have 2 members

guess it was not a big hit :sad:

jumpenjuhosaphat · 12-04-2006, 03:31 PM

You know, I forgot all about this. I meant to take that site down a month ago, but it slipped my memory.

Interesting concept and experiment

jumpenjuhosaphat · 12-04-2006, 06:00 PM

Thank you. The funny thing about it is I got 2 users, me and another non-spammer. On my other forum, I get an average of 1 to 2 spammers a day, and here we get 5 or 6 per day. Why don't the spammers learn to go where they are wanted?...

grazie1 · 12-05-2006, 09:57 PM

hahhaa, this is sounds cool... so, how long will ur experiment continue? is it still active today?

lexmarks567 · 12-06-2006, 02:22 AM

look4edmund · 12-07-2006, 03:01 PM
