   I don't think we've had to deal with spam for a while, but I just found some, right below [1884#8530]. Kindly nuke it (would if I could).

   In a related note, the AMORC submission has been veritably swarmed with BH posts. Quite obviously they can't grasp the concept of reading the submission, nor do they realize that this isn't a place to be getting info for it.
   
   Can we remove the spam posts and put a BH-post lock on that sub? The second would be the hard one, imo.

   Good luck with that

   But the deleting can be arranged. :)

   If the sub is retitled, it might attract less spam.

   Retitle the thing, those comments are creepy. I for one don't see the point of the submission at all, a link to wiki or something would suffice.

   Thanks to manfred's BH post link, I've gone through pages 33 to 24 and picked out the spam posts. They are as follows:
   
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=4009#68551
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=4083#68540
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=4091#28815
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=2105#65789
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=2163#68548
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=2397#66162
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=1644#27125
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=1799#68338
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=1280#26774
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=1103#5695
   
   Also, the New Looks and Makeovers codex had a number of comments that I noted, but didn't grab thanks to comment links not working with codii.
   
   And lastly, a few that I wasn't entirely sure were spam, but don't really fit in. Decide amongst yourselves whether to keep or delete them:
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=3015#67691
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=2419#65807

   Big thanks Chaosmark!
   
   Went through and deleted most of the first part. http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=1644#27125 is actually the common crazy trashing we came to know and love in our Barbarian Horde. Since it is a bit off topic, but not damaging in any way, I am inclined to keep it (even if only for the repartee :) ).
   
   http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=2105#65789 IS actually valuable information; it is a person, that provided the picture, that inspired our very first Quest. The form might be changed, but I it should be kept, if only for sentimental reasons.
   
   The second part falls into random harmless trashing as well.
   
   
   Again, thank you!
