Lesson #12a: How to spam with subtlety
A lesson by practical example?Originally posted by Big Crunch
So much for subtlety.
The most subtle way to spam is to use three or four lines so that it appears that you are saying something important and valid. As most people fail to read all posts thoroughly, and that includes mods, they will not notice the well-hidden spam.
A one liner saying "spam" just screams out to the mods that you are a spammer.
It also helps if you say something vaguely on topic....
Humour also keeps the mods from detecting spam, even weak humour.

Humour depends on the Mods having a sense of Humour in the first place. How anyomje can accuse AH of being a troll when he is so funny.......(+1)Comment

So people want custom avatars, eh? Too bad. Maybe the rules have just changed on you.
On the other hand, maybe Markos has just been busy - with what, I don't know.
He hasn't even uploaded some "fixed" smilies yet.

Lesson #12c: How to spam with subtlety
How can you say such a thing.Originally posted by KrazyHorse
A lesson by practical example?
Now this is definitely on-topic thank you very muh....
The next method is to regularly change avatar. If you have a new avatar then it psychologically appears as a different poster.
Appearing as different poster => prior spamming more easily forgotten.
Lesson #12d will cover changing username.

It's more fair when everyone has the chance to have his/her own avatar...and now that OT-posts don't count...it's going to be harder for them to get to the 500 mark...

Pre-empt: lesson 12d
Spam is not spam if includes a personal anecdote about family or friends, or an inspirational message of some kind.
This reminds me of the time my brother got hit in the face with a baseball bat. It was a very trying experience for our family, but we pulled together and got through it. I hope all of you can learn something from my experience.
It helps if the experience actually happened, as this avoids the inconvenient "you've contradicted yourself" accusation.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
