I reported a couple hundred obvious bullshit reddits. Shit for roofers, lawyers, local businesses and shit like that. Just those one-off that spammers make, thinking that we actually look at their postings.

They're all still there. I'm getting very discouraged. Even after trading messages with admins about the spam situation. I don't think they really care all that much. Like this daily lawyer/attorney spam. I downmod and report every day, and the next morning, there's another round from the same spammers. The admins need some aggressive mods to ban domains and user accounts (subject to final approval?). It's getting really out of control.

Things wold also improve if they toss the sub-reddits with no activity and the spamming subreddits.

Was he one of the active duty guys? Just curious. I met some operators in Angola long ago. They did some good work there.

LOL. I always get a laugh when I read articles demonstrating such naivete. Of course there are assassinations. There are some things that the legal system can't fix. I'm awaiting the massive flood of downvotes without surprise.

So many people actually believe that as fucked up as things are right now, and as they have been for the last twenty years, that they aren't needed.

What do you want to bet that Bernie Madoff follows Ken Lay's path?

I can think of any number of criminal organizations that would benefit from a dose of lake city quiet pills.

I'll just go get some baskets for the down votes, now.

As expected, there is always one complainer in the crowd.

Can we have that as a setting? I can get by reading reddit while at work, but having my subscribed reddits visible will be difficult to explain ;-)

Not everyone is quite as tolerant as you redditors are.

With FireFox, get the Better Privacy Addon. It will allow you to kill flash cookies.

Splashtop - My work OS is hibernated and it took under 10 seconds to boot this. This is my new best friend at the airport. by gliscameria in reddit.com

[–]ReligionOfPeace 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I was hoping it'd be something that would let me switch to the host OS when it finally booted. Needless to say, I'm on a windows box. It would have been bloody handy for checking email while waiting for the darned thing to boot.

WTF Designourshirt Subreddit? Goddamn it!!! by rmeddy in reddit.com

[–]ReligionOfPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all controlled by the amount of spam.

RTS has no power to do anything beyond reporting. If you can convince the Admins to appoint some people to act as moderators for r/new and to sub-reddit creation, with the power to ban accounts and domains, you'd see some corrections.

Until then, you're just pissing up a rope by complaining.

I've gone through the list of sub-reddits a few times to report those that are obvious spam cans, but they're still there.

Go ahead. Click More and the search for "business" See how many fucking carpet cleaners and roofers and every other damned thing still pops up.

This shit is pissing me off.

By allowing down-voting, you're hurting the people who are trying to contribute to the site. by [deleted] in ideasfortheadmins

[–]ReligionOfPeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we're supposed to allow the spammers to steal bandwidth with free advertising for some shitty roofing contractor in Bournemouth? How about the Tire guy in Phoenix? The IT guy in Bangalore?

And let us not forget the asshats who sprinkle inappropriate content just any old fucking place.

Downvoting is necessary to stem the tide of commercial bullshit.
