Is there an inordinate number of our Chinese friends interested in their diabetic wellbeing, or are there rogue elements afoot?

 

[Robbity]

@Jo_the_boat Since there seems to be a long term but somewhat intermittent overnight spate of Chinese posts., I've always assumed that they're some sort of spamming attempts. AFAIK they get deleted.

Yeah if its just the spam posts, just report them.
Lots of forums get them not just here (used to get a load on a different set of forums I moderate)

I usually report them but there was 4 pages full this morning and at 4.30 am it’s a bit daunting so I left and absolved all responsibility lol

You can always report just one of them and add that there are many more, although we usually spot them as soon as we log in, and often before they even post.

I'm glad to hear that most of you only occasionally see one, looks like we catch most of them quicker than they cause trouble. New ones sprout every night, last night only we've sent 5 of them off, plus 7 of the keto ******* spammers and a couple of miscellaneous ones, we mods tend to eat spammers for breakfast!

Hope their not too many carbs.

Oh my. For years I've been thinking I needed insulin for just getting out of bed, I have a strong foot on the floor effect, or so I thought.
Can it be it's all those spammers instead?

How many carbs in Spam?

How many carbs in Spam?

Depends on how big the spammer is, Chinese spammers tend to be on the petite side, but I suppose a diet high in rice and noodles would alter the carb content

But how much insulin for 5 spammers for breakfast?

I'm doing them in my afternoon in between gardening (mainly weed pulling atm so a similar process) and haven't noticed any increase in insulin needed (but maybe that is counteracted by the exercise).

I do appreciate the reports though, though as @Antje77 said you only need to report the spammer once (they can post more than ten times if left unchecked).

Are these Spammer Fritters?!

I am owner or moderator on a couple of lists and am often up late when I have a project to finish. I sit and splat the spam posts and see the senders (there are often - apparently - a number of different ones at work) becoming more and more frustrated, and then I kick them off completely.

Splatting them is probably kinder than eating them, although the fritters do sound tasty
