HELLO EVERYBODY !!
Satya:
The LEAST that moderators/Craig administrator can do is check the IP address of people joining to see if the country flag lines up with IP. I realize spammers can use virus infected computers in different countries as a poxy, so it's not a fool proof thing. BUT, we have one guy from Antarctica, too. I mean, hello? Did his IP address match up with that? Is he really there doing research? If not, why even have flags?
To swallow this BS is so laughable I have to wonder at the validity of rpd in the modern world! Andrew, zero carb surfer dude at least has his head on straight on this! I think I'll follow him. And Rawzi too. Why isn't she like a moderator or something???
I would venture to say that Dr. Rugby is not a female - certainly not the one in the photo - and is not a native English speaker (obviously). S/he/it posted the exact same hello on zero carb, fyi. And people there at least hit it up on the UK / US issues that come up.
Queen of Reason, aka Satya
Satya:
My guess is India.
goodsamaritan:
ip address showed canada.
TylerDurden:
Actually, Satya, we mods all were rather suspicious. Plus, if all websites were to ban everyone who wrongly registered a different country as their origin, then I would have been banned from numerous forums/websites as I've, on occasion, put in the wrong country (eg:- uzbekistan/united states) on some forums, due to haste.
RawZi:
Hi Satya. Thank you. That's my approach. I tend confront >: them fast when I am positive that they are uncaring, ignorant or disconnected scammer spammers. You saw how obvious Dr Rugby Sr was. I like knowing whatever they are presenting. I went to his/her website before -X replying, I almost always do, or I Google it. I don't necessarily think my way is the superior way, it just feels right to me. Maybe I'm just on imagine I'm moderator automatic pilot.
