I get them everday in my email box and now we have the shoe peddler from China back on the forums and what so bad is he is peddling his crap in the Haiti section, some people have no morals and just piss me off.................laurie

To make matters worse, if you look at the four names in blue (Casinomeister, Webzcas, maxd, and Simmo!) they're all in Europe.

I really think CM needs to add 2 additional moderators that are in North America so that spammers can be dealt with when it's the middle of the night for Europe.

I have a habit of rising pretty early -- earlier today than usual -- so often the window of moderatorlessness here at CM isn't very large. It looks like I was able to clean up after our shoe spammer a couple hours after they'd done their filthy little business.

That may be true Max, but when it's 3am in England, it's 10pm on the East Coast and 7pm here.

This is prime time in North America, and the Eastern Time Zone has more computers connected to the internet than any other time zone in the world.

2-3 hours may not seem long, but a hacker or spammer can do a LOT of damage with far less time.

At least one N.A. based mod should be considered. I nominate bernynhel.

I hear ya ... but today's was one of the worse spam attacks I've seen in a while and that was cleaned up in 20 minutes or so.

I'm not saying a North American moderator is a bad idea, just that it's not like the house is gonna burn down without one.

I'm flattered and would be happy to help CM in any way I can but, and this may shock some people, I have, in the not too distant past, been known to adopt a certain tone that could be interpreted by some people, people whose sensitivities might just be a little more heightened than that of any possible variety of random, flattened roadkill, as less than what might be considered ideally suited, diplomatically speaking, for the purposes of "moderator" as it is usually and customarily defined in the majority the modern societies which have discontinued the practice of cannibalism as a means of asserting authority.

But if you really, really need me for something, in a pinch, just whistle. You do know how to whistle, don't you? That's right...just pucker up and blow.

I've never claimed to be a nice guy.
Just take a look at the user tag under my name

I just haven't been here long enough for my services as a mod to be considered.

Besides, diplomacy skills aren't needed for killing spammers.

[WagerWitch]

Diplomacy is of the UTMOST importance. LOL!

Hey! Anyone know where the Chinese sneaker guy's post went? I was waiting for him to get back to me with a post with a quote for some sneakers I was asking about.
