He might be stubborn but if his reply to Bruin's post is all you are basing your post on, I don't think it's enough to call him stubborn; that was about the most half-assed, tongue-in-cheek apology I've ever seen.

1. what did spac3d get banned for?
2. millenium, sorry that someone was immature and childish enough to do this to you. But are you positive that it was someone from AT? It sounds like something a younger person would do. Have you made any enemies on IRC lately?

Yea, spamming is wrong, but I'm kinda surprised that this is the first time or it took this long for it to happen.
It isn't. I'm sure who ever did it feels he accomplished his goal by getting Evan to blow a gaskett.

That spamfilter with keywords is actually pretty simple and yet very powerful. I don't think the programming would be too hard.

Check out spamassassin. Thats exactly what its output looks like. In fact, I'm pretty sure thats what the mail service is running.

I don't use IRC, and AT is the only board that I use that e-mail on that is a national board.

Spac3d is a racist little bastard, he's sent me childish PM's before after having disagreements with his racist remarks in a forum thread. I would not be surprised if he was the one who has done this to you, but until you have hard evidence good luck in your search. History proves that the mods don't usually take this kind of thing lightly.

I use Mailwasher. its great, the heuristics really get all the spam, and it bounces the message for those email senders of my choosing. :)

I still give it a quick run-through, though, before letting it do its thing, just in case. :)

its a great program, you can set filters, bladibla.... highly recommended.

WTF is going on with ATOT theres so much hating going on right now. Spamming/bitching/banning jesus it begs the question how seriously people do take these forums
(P.s This is not aimed at you millenium, its not aimed at anyone in particular just the fact that ive read 4 or 5 heavy threads in one day and it makes me wonder)

Since I didn't follow your tyrade closely would you mind giving me the diet cliff notes version of why you think Spac3d is the culprit?

Thanks.

IMHO that's pretty far fetched to base your allegations on zip code alone, besides he/she must be a real dumb ass to use their zip.

Normally I would agree, but he PMs he has sent me in the past and they fight he tried to pick with me in that threa lead me to believe it might have been him. I just don't understand why PlatinumGold got spammed as well.

God knows.....

LOL, some drama. This is why message boards suck, people take sh!t way too seriously.

BTW, I'd edit those pics and block out your contact list, just to be on the safe side.

Evan,

Just curious. Do you suffer from high blood pressure or anything?
