The definition of spam
by boughtonp from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A2VA)
I assume most people here are familiar with the origins of the term spam - a Monty Python sketch where it was pushed with every item on the menu.
Quite a clear similarity to the attached crop from View Latest Posts, which highlights a relentless spammer - for whatever reason they weren't banned last month when they posted over a dozen responses spamming what appears to be their personal distro, and whilst many of their posts were manually edited, a few links were left behind to support their efforts. Now they are back spamming their distro even more.
Assuming this forum can filter/replace URLs, perhaps a board-wide block on their domain would reduce the benefit of their spamming without giving extra work to moderators?
