Heh he only wanted to PCR the other few new deities so he still gets to enjoy the now very limited space at the top of Mount Olympia.

Nah, just 'poly is getting filled with crap +1's that are badly spelt, consist of single lines or single smilies, or are not even slightly amusing and blindingly obvious attempts to charge up the postcount tables. Rasputin's 220+ posts per day in the last weeks is the prime case.

For this reason the Apolyton Anti-Spam police has been formed to track down and locate unstylish spam, which will be reported to the moderators.

To join send me a PM.

This thread has diplomatic immunity because :

a) Its interesting and amusing
b) Its in the SMAC forum
c) I said so.
d) This forum is "self-moderated" (i.e. we don't have a moderator)

Yeah, but maybe I'm just grumpy too

I figure Deity status gives me a good platform to target spammers from. I know who they are... and I will not rest untill they get PCRs. I am quite willing to take PCRs myself in the quest to bring them low.

You've found a hard task for yourself, Jamski. Anti spam campaigns are specially hard for a deity whose past included spams also, be it tasteful or tasteless.

If your target is unstylish spams, better take the princess of spam with you.

Being a Spamer yourself Jamski I can trust you will be very effective in your Hunt as measured by the amount of anti-spam Spaming you do. If were lucky you should be able to eliminate 2 spams for every 3 Anit-spam posts you make.

You totally underestimate Jamski-- I think he could manage 3-4 anti-spam posts for each piece of spam eliminated

See what I mean Jamski? Anytime you mention the word "spam" there are doomed to be at least 5 to 10 spam posts that are targeted toward you. Who cares if you spam less now and who cares if you spam stylishly or not.

Poor Spamski.

Yeah, we can smack it down from average 1 post every three days to average 1 post every six days I'm sure. You have very keen eyes Enigma.

People calling me a spammer need to look at my POSTS and not my POSTCOUNT. The rec commons would be a nice place to start, eh, Impaler

Spam is, in its nature, unavoidable.
The penalty should be a secret -postcount for any post which contains less than 4 sentences.
Such a situation would surely reduce incentive to gain postcount, and it wouldn't be too hard to install a detector.
-this is not the 4th sentence-.

I hate sporelaunchers the most, because sometimes they turn up early on IotDs and bombard my terraforming.

And if you're not likely to get foils in the next 25 turns...

AAAAAAAGH!

They are the number 1 reason not to play SMAX, the CBA being #2, then the probes that can get through the HSA. At #4 comes the aliens, also at #5, and then comes crap like Kelpfarms and Thermoclines.

Pah.

This is not spam binTravkin, but attempt to divert topic from spam (so far successful ). And it is not 4 sentences long.

I love spore launchers just because of that. They are so annoying
