Dubious Posts- Spammers, Bots and other Dreck

[jpmcwjr]

I've started a new thread which I hope can be kept to its purpose.

Therefor this thread is open for all the fun poking, venting, and demonstrating cleverness. Open till it's time to lock.

Have fun!

I couldn't find the above, thought it might be that that route is removed for mods. Then I remembered Duane does everything on a cell phone. Is that it? Anyone use both cell and computer and can check if the above is available on a computer browser?

When viewing the desktop site on mobile, the 3 dots aren't there. Different format.

On PC - I only see a "report" button when I scroll over the post... in the bottom left hand of the cell.
On iPhone, it is always in the botton left of cell, even if I am not hovering on the cell.

I don't have an Android device, like Duane has.

Thanks, but: Not looking for the Report button, but how to determine if there's a mod nearby online.

Duane: Can you post a screen shot or two showing the three dots you mention?

Solideogloria86: What mobile are you using?​

I'm using Android.

Yep, and you have to have clicked on the forums tab for those 3 dots to show the online members list, otherwise it just shows site sponsors…or as @charf once worried about, sends nudie pics to your wife’s email

Post images of your junk.

If they disappear, there is a mod online...

Yeah, that'd do it! But it would also make that poster disappear pdq.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Please, no junk pics. I'm not even sure why we let people post pics without shirts on... unless they are in a swimming pool. But, even then...

Who smoke their pipe in the pool?

Who smokes his pipe in the pool?

I did, a lot. But moved from there five years ago. It did provide further proof of the harmlessness of water on a pipe: I dropped two burning chambers into water where my clenching didn't work so well. The pipes survived in perfect shape, but it put out the tobacco pretty quick! Imagine!

I do all summer. Why own a pool, and NOT smoke in it?

You guys remember the Dubious Brothers??..........

I was front row center at the Doobie Bros in the summer of 1976. They were promoting their Takin it to The Streets album with Michael McDonald restricting the Doobies career. I saw the show at the Springfield Civic center in Springfield Mass. One of my favorite shows of all time.

Folks- If you see a thread or post which seems out of order, especially by a thread starter who has very few posts, if you have time, please check to see what mod is on forum then, and send a PM to him. If he —I am asleep at the switch, then make a report.

What if you had to pass a quiz before you could register and post? This could eliminate the spammers!
Sample quiz questions:
What year was Charles Peterson's first patent?
Name three Oriental tobaccos, and spell them correctly.
Describe and illustrate the life cycle of the tobacco beetle...

I'm afraid I wouldn't get past the gatekeeper! Nice idea, though.

But think of the possibilities of random casino and pipe club recommendations intersecting …….
