C-R-M: Suggested posting format

Translate This Thread From English to

Threaded View
To help as a low-end filter against all the splorge, I suggest we append
C-R-M to all new and replied-to postings that really belong here. See
the subject of this message.

It will also help not to cross-post to any other newsgroup. If you are
replying to a message that was cross-posted, remove the other
newsgroups.

I was thinking the same but it does have a tendancy to copy existing
messgaes with the Subject intact......

The latest batch seems to be just random shit, with random user names of
the form firstname.lastname. "Tagging" the subject might work for a
while, at any rate.

Sounds like its worth a try-I would really just like to quash the
bastards who are doing this-For no other motive then to be disruptive.
Doesnt seem to be a motive-Its not advertising.....Its just garbage.
 Its one thing if they just targeted one group for some reason(pissing
contest,whatever)
but to just deluge an entire network.
 Hopefully they will just go back to playing with themselves again
soon.

Re: C-R-M: Suggested posting format


Something I've noticed. This thing has created so much spam, it looks
like it is as tired of looking back as we are to find valid posts to
spam with. What I've noticed is now we are only getting one post
spams. If you see one with multiple posts on it, it's probably a real
post. Therefore, if you see a valid post back in the pack, even if
you've only got marginal interest in it, post to it to keep it near
the front of the pack of latest posts.

So along with using CRM as a lead in in the subject, I'd also suggest
the original poster posting twice. We can spot those easily against
the flood of one subject and post per spams.

Re: C-R-M: Suggested posting format


Just in the subject line. That way we can just scan down to find what we
want.
