There are apparently additional moderators on two boards - Kurtulmak on the Slaves to Armok board and Jonathan S. Fox on the Curses board.

JSF is the guy in charge of LCS, and so I think he is neatly restricted to that area. As for the Kobold God, I think it's safe to say that he is not the sort to do such menial work as smite spammers.

TBH, I think Fox' only an admin so he can sticky his own threads.

Also, be careful not to violate this:

Clarification: This thread is not meant to be about discussing what we can do about the bots or proposing new systems to deal with them. This thread is specifically for moving all posts users would make in a spambot thread that would later be removed and posted here instead.

OP is trying to squash amusing discussion. I vote mutiny.

I'm just trying to stop this from happening:

We've talked about this to death before and the ultimate conclusion was we couldn't do jack shit except ignore them, unless Toady implemented some kind of anti-spambot feature into the forums, which really isn't going to happen.

It's an issue that's been heavily discussed before on these forums, as Bdthemag pointed out, and I don't want it to turn into just another thread about it and have people jump on and resume old arguments, so I would like to avoid all discussion about that and just have this thread serve as a repository.

I kind of liked the passport one. It was hilariously upfront about it.

Jorji? Why didn't I recognize your avatar before?

Yeah, I think that JSF was made an admin so that, like Darvi said, he could sticky his stuff and make it clear that he is officially the one running it now.
Kurtulmak is only admin of Slaves to Armok, and since it's been permalocked by Toady, it's irrelevant now.

I am convinced now that the CDDA thread is no longer personally visited by Zeljko, but instead by a spambot written by him.

This thread receives a big old PTW.

Cheap Kitchen North Yokshire. Thirty Ex Display Kitchens To Clear. [link redacted, without hyperlink] £595 Each with appliances

[different link redacted, with hyperlink]

Why is there a kitchen spambot fad? Also, it just sounds like they are selling entire kitchens, room and everything, like it'd get shipped in on a tractor trailer and jury-rigged to your house.
