I guess the counter is for all my attempts, not for the few posts that actually made it through :)

Anyway; yarinsiz has undergone rendition... he's now in a 45ft container somewhere, bound for ... well, nobody bothered to find out.

"Where's Yarinsiz?"

I'd like to s-u-g-g-e-s-t the center of the western artillery impact area at Ft. Sill, OK.

Tony's averaging better than 1.5 thumbs per post. I gotta raise my game.

I'm not sure how your metrics work. I flagged at least 30 posts on Friday afternoon from 3 different spammers. I flagged a few more on Saturday, and a couple on Sunday.

Are you counting only the number of unique spammers or the number of posts flagged?

by ansugisalas

Thinking of HAL's 94 of two weeks back...
I think maybe the magic cut-off point robbed you... I'm always surprised by my spam numbers, they're high when I've been slacking, and nonexistent when I've been running like a dog... or so it seems at least.

by seanferd

Where does the x day period start and end? Then there is the possibility that you are flagging spam at the same time as another peer. Also, an ESP might not transmit every flag without notifying you. Sometimes they dump or hold up "bulk" mail.

I know it sure feels like I flagged craptons more spam than was listed for me the last two weeks, but it is only a feeling.

edit: Frankly, totaling the numbers, I feel they are a bit shy of what was actually seen. YMMV.

The dates for the data I use go from Wednesday to Wednesday. I'm checking with Tammy to see what dates she uses to tabulate the Spam Busters.

How I got 2 Votes Up in the Q&A.

Even though it's been a busy week last week and I'm wondering how I posted 41 Comments to the Discussion threads.

As for Spam I gave up counting it ages ago but it certainly feels as there has been a lot lately.

Now if I could only post to TR it would be nice. ;)

But that count can not be from this week unless it's counting the number of posts that disappeared to the Bit Bucket.

That one was another Screw Up on TR's Part.

When I started entering that answer I was Logged in as Oh Smeg and when it posted it showed as coming from HAL.

Not quite sure how to describe that one but I had posted an answer to a question before that post and it went through as Smeggy and then the next one comes out as the HAL Account.

Now I'm going to have to look at you as well as a potential Trouble Maker. :p

... normally Thursday to Thursday. Duplicates are only counted for the first person to hit the button. Non-spam is not counted.

by jamesrl

Are the duplicates counted this way? If the spammer posts the same message 30 times, and I flag it thirty times, does that count for one or thirty?

The spammer that I chased had 2 different messages, but I flagged them being posted in different threads at least 30 times.

by Tammy.Cavadias

not for messages :-)

If you and say Purpleskys both happen to be viewing the same thread at the same time, and notice a spammer, you both would have the ability to flag that message (unless of course one of you happens to refresh and then you would see the "flagged").

This would send me "two" alerts for the same exact spam comment (duplicates are based on comment id's, not same message content), and this is where - who ever has the fastest clicker, gets the credit :-)
