I noticed the new feature at the bottom, why not submit ALL spam?

Spam-O-Matic Statistics[/h]2267 Spammers Denied Registration
5 Spammers submitted to Akismet





And where did the other two info boxes go within that field, or was that just to rip the piss with members?

............ rip the piss with members?.........

What does that mean Paul?
 
No complaint mate, just an observation is all.
The other two boxes that have since been deleted did seem sarcastic though?
 
The stats are automatically generated by SOM.

Only Admin has the full controls of this. I'm not in the position to answer everything unless I want new user/spammers to learn what or HOW SOM is helping the site and give them a way to find work arounds by us revealing too much in this thread. THINK - TOP SECRET DEFENSE ..... lol

Akismet is a spam filtering service. More of a plugin to identify and block comment and trackback spam on blogs. Has integration to various blogging systems. As to it's relevant use with SOM, it's still under observation.

Now, as for new users with obvious spam links in their profiles, we've put-off the manual deletion so we can see the full extent of SOM's work for a certain period of time. But these will be dealt with.

If ever you see any new spam posted, this is because they are like any new new registered user. It's only til they make a post that one knows their intent. Which is why it's important that PSG members assist us with this by reporting Spam when you see it.

You may have noticed a drop in new users and those with exotic names by the day as compared befor SOM wherein we had sometimes more than 200 per day. We are more concerned with this one... and the stats are very good.

But we can assure you that SPAM-OMATIC is doing its job .

Thanks DV8 i knew all of that though, i am aware of the product and what it does, my posting is to why only the few being submitted, and why did the other two 'info' boxes get binned - because i did find them sarcastically toned.
 
within the area of the 'now' two lines of information, there used to be two other lines of 'information', i felt that it was slightly tongue in cheek and sarcastic.

Were they:
Spammer Permanently Banned
Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated

Both generated by the filter not by us.
What is "tongue in cheek or sarcastic" about those statistics?
 
I think that was because i asked about MAX and H decided to drop them.

Which was this? Even if a post was deleted, it won't register on SOM.

Fill me in on this conversation please.
How did we get from Spam O Matic to Hoogle?
 
Can I just verify and I was clear in your thread you asked a question And I answered it without sharing personal Details about the person you were asking about which they may not have wanted made public.
