How to deal with someone stealing food?

[7ore]

here's an idea, no one gets to post on the forum without passing a Rush fan test. anyone who can't pass will have to purchase and view Beyond the Lighted Stage before being allowed to post again. that should weed out the spammers and other undesirables.

That is OK by me, as long as it is enough to know their first nine albums... And "All the worlds a stage" is one of the best Live albums ever.
And I am glad I had the chance to see one of the few gigs they've ever done in Sweden.

I enjoyed watching them be as bad at Rock Band as I am on The Colbert Report

of course the absolute best was the actual interview on the colbert report...

first interview question: "do you ever get tired of being so awesome and kicking so much ass?" Geddy's answer: "we've gotten used to it".

another one, in a bit about the band's influences: "you're known for long songs... have you ever written a song so epic that by the end of it you were actually being influenced by yourselves at the beginning of the song, because it happened so much earlier in your career?" Geddy: "yeah... it happens"

Not to get off topic, but it looks like the OP was busy. Google the title, and you get a mighty long list of the forums he hit.

Maybe it was a test run of a forum posting bot. I often wonder how many of these are bots vs actual people who just sit around all day and spam one forum after another (though certainly if it's an actual person they're running various tools to assist with doing it). I guess since almost all online forums are run using a handful of forum packages, it's probably not too hard to design a bot to go to each forum, register a user and post some spam. I notice a large percentage of spammers head straight to general discussion forum - that's probably a standard forum a lot of sites have so the bots look for that; either that or the spammers figure their spam is less likely to be noticed by an mod in a forum that has a wide variety of post topics by design.

Not to go off topic myself .... again...

But I did wonder earlier why the original poster hadn't been back to find out why no-one could answer his/her/bot stolen food question? He/she/bot may have learned a lot about Rush in the process

Will I get banned for this comment?

[Edit] Actually is that bottist of me? A bot may be a bot but don't they have feelings too? So if you are the spammer bot reading this you can be a he bot or a she bot, sorry if I offended you [EndEdit]

The title of this thread should be changed to "How to deal with someone stealing my spam?"

...and rushing off with it.

How about this for a summary for the new npvr web page:

We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why

Very nice - wrong thread perhaps?

Although it does fit right in with this one, so maybe not...

Yesterday I was going to post in this thread because I thought this was aboot really good Canadian rock bands stealing food. I held my breath hoping for a list greater than three. Rush was being mentioned instead of Triumph, so I thought this was just for the bubble gum crowd. Now I don't know.

Should I switch to Geiko?
