The latest spam at Mudcat seems to be the usual gobbledegook (which some poor souls feel they need to reply to) and the 'respect' spam and 'I agree with the previous post' and 'can you help me, I'm going to (some country name)...', along with the 'news story of the day' such as John posted.

Jeff has made it so the spammers can't post piles of links, so most of this stuff is just annoying. If you're not sure if something's spam, look at the message title. I suppose it's an artifact of the spamware, but the message title will be different from the thread title. If you read Mudcat using 'Messages since last visit', it appears as though they started a new thread with a new title.

Please, PLEASE don't reply to spam. We moderators are probably going to see it and delete it, but we won't see and delete your post, so you're gonna look less than the brilliant person you really are.
