I think that the annoyance of having to register and wait for the email would take the most short-attn.-span of the crazies out of the mix.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Too blanket. I read them, and I am not bored by them.
You say this as if it's obvious to everyone.
I plead being late to work for my lack of tact. I threw a "kinda" in there, jumped on my bike, and got there right at 1:59.
Nilly's second link may be the solution, or someone could edit a 7:00 post to point to the end of the watch-and-post like we were doing on TT for a little while. My feelings don't really matter since I'm not subscribed, and I overstated how strong they were.

In terms of loonies getting out of line. You know someone is out of line when you see it. You are a stompy foot. If someone gets out of line -STOMP!

Could white font work?
I think that'd drive you Easties crazy, wouldn't it?
Yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whatever happened with the Smithsonian submission?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The spammer's account is deactivated. I'll delete the posts.

Thanks, DX. That was quick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Question: those have been noted as obvious spam.
Do we warn before deactivation, or assume total non-Buffista intent?
Betsy HP - Oct 15, 2002 1:57:07 pm PDT #536 of 10001
If I only had a brain...
I think we warn if there's a reasonable doubt the person is spamming. In that case, there was no reasonable doubt.
Like, if I show up and say
"Hey, this is a really cool board! If you like Buffy, you might like my Ebay auctions!", that's cause for a warning.
But spamming on topics completely non-germane to the board? Death. Death by foot. Death by stompy foot.
