What This New Forum Says About Opera ASA

Spam threads were not occurring at this rate on the old Opera Windows Desktop forum.
Unfortunately, they were. The forum as a whole was frequently being spammed. Maybe you didn't notice because you only visited one forum, but I was one of the people who had to clean up after the spammers. -

You might call that notion ironic but the spammers doesn't reach out the main purpose either and everything is reduced to extra junk which come around like a disease. Last time when I checked it was possible to sign in for a new account based on a fake email xyz@opera.com, btw. -

I've got an idea. Really unusual.
What about welcoming those poor guys by launching a section... Or at least I guess a thread will be enough -- to post their advertising their.
We could drop by when done with the usual rounds.. If for nothing else to enjoy ourselves:) -

If for nothing else to enjoy ourselves:)The flaw in that is in your assumption that people who already break forum rules against spamming will obey rules and only spam a section/thread that is dedicated to it. They (or the guys who hire them) are smart enough to realize that the ordinary folks they're trying to reach with their spam are scattered out in normal, real-world forums... and the spammers are smart and bold enough to find ways to do it - with or without any section/thread dedicated to their spamming.

If it's possible to sign up with a fake e-mail address, that's a bug.
And that's a biggie! Fake addresses are as infinite as the minds of the beholders. There needs to be some registration back-and-forth with an eMail address to legitimize it... or at least to reduce that part of the problem to manageable proportions.

I'm not convinced that that theory, an Opera-friendly theory, as I would expect from rafaelluik, actually explains the difference in spam thread rates that I've noticed. And it is only a theory, a theory for which no hard numbers—and there is more than one number that might be relevant—were provided.
Hahaha, because your Opera-unfriendly theory was presented with lots of hard numbers right?Don't worry, coming from you that was expected.
How do you feel getting the same reply you used?
