@Octane Actually as I said before it wouldnt be the best idea. It would discourge people from signing up to the site and it wouldn't stop the spammers cause they would just find another way to harass us.

Can we get a notification if the town sheriff changes what you said? (I had a little jab at us being better than Nlife taken out of a introductory post in a thread, not complaining though.) That we know what to learn from as I almost missed that it had been changed.
@Jaz007 Usually I will post why it was edited unless of course it's self explanatory as in your case, I mean heck you said yourself "it was a jab at Nintendo Life". Which to be honest can be taken the wrong way and blow up in a whole mess and quite frankly I am tired of threads, comments sections etc. getting derailed cause someone makes a joke like that and others blow it out of proportion.

@Tasuki I get why you did it, I wasn't thinking much about people taking it the wrong way which was my bad, but what I'm suggesting is a notification that it happened. Not an explanation. I didn't really have a reason to look at it again, I just happened to and noticed it. The notification is to make sure we see it remember it for the future. I mean a notification like if someone @'s you, just to make sure you don't miss it.
Thanks for taking the time to moderate this place too!
@spammer Is it possible to sort the husband and wife dispute problem solving threads alphabetically? I'm looking for my country, but I'm having a hard time finding it.

I don't want to be controlling. I am glad my wife is not a Playstation gamer and therefore won't see this. I can't be controlled. I am free spirit, a renegade, a maverick.

It can’t be fun to have to clean this garbage up every week when the spam attacks occur.
(Although, I have to admit, I’m curious what the next batch brings. We are getting investment advice, spouse manipulation advice, what next? )
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Yeah it is quite bad recently. There must be something else that can be done other than just cleaning it all up afterwards. Would having something like Captcha help? I assume these are just spam bots rather than just someone creating the new posts.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@KratosMD Ah you young 'uns won't remember the great spam attack of 09. Back in those days we didn't have any of that there fancy captcha or user authentication, it was just a Url and a brave squadron of moderators. When the attack happened, we lost three mods in the first hour, burned out from hitting the delete key. In all the attack lasted 13 hours, and by the end of it, we couldn't tell spam from original post. No one came out without some sort of wound, be it a blister or nightmares. I still can't see a post from a Nigerian Prince without having flashbacks to that terrible time.

maybe they should make it so you can only make 1 or 2 threads every 24 hours, that would help stop spam attacks like that because it was the same person making each one it seems
