You keep it up, y'hear? I'll try to keep it down... then maybe we can soon see yarinsiz at #1, followed by you! :p
And hi Sonja! Is spamkill stats under repair?

TR Community Scoreboard is appearing in the TR Listings before it appears in a Google Search.

Does this in any way imply that finally TR is beginning to get back to what it used to be like before the Upgrade which ruined everything? :D

Great to see you again too Soni. ;)

Seriously the rubber suit and toilet roll holder isn't that much of a concern.

Wow thats amazing, is that scoreboard monthly? How do you guys have time to post so many times?

by charliespencer

Those are weekly numbers.

For many of us, it depends on the demands at work. Some members hang out here when they're at home. apotheon's a blogger here and notable for his active participation in the discussions spawned by his columns. And many post quips and retorts in the 'Water Cooler'; the count isn't based on content quality.

Other times a particular topic will just explode and the conversational posts will flow almost too fast to keep up. Most of my posts this week are related to a problem we found with the site's spam filters. I suspect my total (and Ansu's?) includes those posts that were auto-deleted while Ansu and I were nailing down the issue.

Twenty posts a day isn't really that many. Many people send more e-mail or post to social sites more often than that daily. For me, this is the only site where I actively participate on a regular basis.

In my opinion, the 'real' count is the 'Votes up in Q&A'. Those who respond there are the ones doing the real community-building work. I don't hang out there as often as I used to, or as I should; I just got lucky this week.

because i'm sure over the last couple weeks i've nailed a fair bit of spam myself...but oh well, i've certainly seen my name their my fair share of times as well...let someone else take the glory ;) ...

Also wish i had a little more time lately. We;ve been dealing with my oldest daughter and her broken hand for almost two weeks (don't ask, we'll just leave it at a momentary lapse of sanity). Hopefully things are settled now and Darryl and I can get back to a regular routine.

Happy Friday good ppl :)

It would be nice if the OPs of the Q&As would acknowledge an answer
though. Many times I've answered, but no response from the OP.
Oh well...I don't do that for any glory, just to help. Besides, I get enough
votes down in the discussions to end up in the negative...especially if I
make contrary remarks in regards to a fruity-logo company!
That's ok too...I can handle it...would be nice if they offered a reason
for the down vote though. The only way we learn and grow is through
healthy discussions, not flames.
Oh, I've found the best time to catch spammers, for myself anyway, is
late at night (11 pm to 1 am or so), that's the "magic hour" for spammers!
Everyone have a great weekend!

only a little over 100 pieces of spam in total... either the people reporting spam have been reeling from the onslaught (I mainly checked out spam to see what kinds of stealth strategies the suckers are using)... or the back end has stepped up the response a big notch. No guessing how much ugh-boot spam that autodelete setting got rid of while it lasted...

by charliespencer

I'm sticking to my oath. If I trip over it then I'll step on it, but I'm still not actively pursuing it. Too much trouble since they took many of my tools away.

by seanferd

And since TR is one of the few places that still make it even possible to flag spam, it is just too tempting.

But I need to check my camel spine against this straw that fell on it the other day. I may cease all participation aside from interacting with the cool kids.

edit: My, does that not sound all passive-aggressive. Yet I will let it stand, because the subject is apparently off-limits, somehow, so no clarification in the forum. Apologies if this annoys anyone.

by seanferd

You have a good weekend, too, Purple. And Darryl. And Sonja and Palmetto and Tigger and Ansu and both the Cols and Santee and Chip and Apotheon and Tammy and Boxy...

OK. All y'all have a good weekend.

by seanferd

Half of them can't even post a question in the right forum. Some other fraction are practically too stupid to operate a computer, let alone have a job in an IT department. It is frightening, and par for the course.

by ansugisalas

I know for a fact that I've left a question or two open... trouble is, I can't find them. They're not listed in "my stuff", "my questions" only has the questions I've posted to, not the questions I've started. So, that sucks. :(
