Idiot spamming my directory

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by fryman, Apr 29, 2005.

    Wow, I just got a bunch of BS submitted to my site. Some idiot sent a bunch of listings for urls like wilmington.de.house.info, memphis.tn.house.info, wilmington.de.house.info, etc. About 50 like that.

    Just took me a couple of keystrokes to delete all his trash. Do people really believe that we as directory owners will list this kind of garbage?


    Hope the rest of you don't get hit by this loser also

    I think you're finally ready for that DMOZ editor position, fryman... I suggest you apply now and include a link to this thread as a sample of how you can help them.

    Actually, Minstrel, I think you would be a better editor... arrogant, can't accept when you are wrong, think you always have the absolute answer to every question on earth...

    Here you go... http://www.dmoz.org/help/become.html

    Hope you have fun at the resource zone. :D

    You are the loser!!!
    Remove all then. Noone wants to get listed in your directory.
    You invite people to list sites, to get more pages and increase your PR (and yes this would happen). If you are not happy contact the person who submit them and either warn or request link back or money.
    People who can't distinguish spam and nonspam are idiots.

    Heheh, yeah.

    When we submit, we are promoting.

    When we are submitted to, we are spammed.

    Go figure! :/

    Maybe it would help if fryman updated his instructions to webmasters:
