We wish to send special thanks to Molcaus and other spammers who get it right. When the Reply button doen't work in the Archives, they used the Report button to send their DVD-converter spam straight to us. This cuts out the middleman, allowing for the lowest prices and the quickest bans.

Besides thanking those who do it right, I'd like to encourage other spammers to try for the same high standards. The WoW gold gnomes, cell phone warehouses, dating services, etc. Please report your posts as soon as you see them. This will result in the fastest service, and the greatest member satisfaction with your posts.
Once again, our appreciation.

If some is bot-related, maybe changing the code text from 'report' to 'reply' would induce more of them to report themselves. That would be cool.

Below is the text of my favorite spam message ever. It looks like they lifted a passage from a book to get around the filters. The title makes you think they are trying to sell pills or some other medical-related potion. But the text itself sounds like a passage from some Dickensian-type novel. It was certainly an enjoyable read but the funny thing is that there was no "payload" with the spam; There was no sales pitch or offer of anything. Odd but intriguing.

Mr Linton walked to a window on the other side of the room that overlooked
the court. He unfastened it and leant out. I suppose they were below, for
he exclaimed quickly--`Don't stand there, love! Bring the person in, if it
be anyone particular.' Ere long I heard the click of the latch, and
Catherine flew upstairs, breathless and wild; too excited to show gladness:
indeed, by her face, you would rather have surmised an awful calamity.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

I believe these were deliberately sent out by spammers to seed the filters. Not sure if it ever worked.
I got heaps of these without a payload too.
Edit: Nice story there CharlesS
