    Well, I'm really glad to see that in the last one, as written, the documentation is non-toxic.

    Chelyabinsk is the name of county equivalent in Russia where they did a lot of their their atomic weapons development. It's also where they dumped all of their atomic waste into a local river until the reactor exploded. Than they stopped because it was already in the river, and air, and everywhere else. The whole thing was the worst atomic disaster ever right up until Chernobyl.

    So yes, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT order suspicious dust from that region. And if you do order it do NOT rub on your genitals. Glow in the dark sex is cool but it ain't worth it.

    Aww, but what if the cancerous growths really can make it bigger?

    I feel like comment spam prevention is one of those underbellies of the internet that no one is aware of. It’s so massive. How much of it is malicious, how much of it is ai just being left alone to spam on its own, and how much can be tracked and shut down like spam calls if we could pass laws to deal with it? It’s just another reason I choose to not develop an online site for whatever reason

    After an entire post about spam comments, the entry for this post in the RSS feed finishes with an ad as usual:

    Let's hope it's at least five years before you get enough such commentary for a "We Get Spam, Round 2" post.

    This is the internet. I give him at most 5 minutes.

    And now I'm waiting for an obligatory jokes about Chelyabinsk vaginas being so tough, that they're lubricated using an abrasive powder.

    I think the biggest issue with TDWTF forums editing function is that it's not editing at all and the button should at least be renamed to "append" or "annotate".

    Someone missed a great opportunity to say that a cat's fur is purrfect.

    Hands up everyone who not only knows why this stuff got named "spam," but saw the origin story when it first came out.

  • (nodebb)

    TRWTF is that many of the CodeSOD entries are basically "should have used an existing library to do the job" (e.g. date manipulations), and here we have a server struggling with spam filtering. Yet, how is it implemented?

    If only there were existing libraries and frameworks to deal with captcha and comment filtering, if only.

  • Klimax (unregistered)

    I don't think that Devil Dante spam is threatening. It is just designed to drop full name of crappy Chinese produced costume/cosplay so curious reader looks it up. (And to make it less obvious spam talks about wishlist and dropping hints to alleged relatives...) Link is absent for obvious reasons.

  • (nodebb)

    Strangest spam that I remember, was on the support forum by a small business selling HW and associated SW. SW came in three tiers; Free, Home and Pro. And some clown kept reposting their crack for the Pro version.

    How do you not have a LOREM IPSUM?

  • richarson (unregistered)

    The weirdest spam I received (actually, a phishing attempt but let's consider it a kind of spam) was a letter from the FBI.

    The weird part is that it was from Special Agent Fox Mulder... with a picture of David Duchovny and all! I wanted to believe but I didn't.

    Of course, I have a copy saved for posterity :)

    We get spam. Main screen turn on. How are you gentlemen? All your inbox are belong to us.

    Addendum 2026-01-28 03:19: Dammit, how do you add line breaks? All the text has just run together.

  • RLB (unregistered) in reply to zomgwtf

    @zomgwft: If I remember my Markdown, you enter two blank lines where you want a newline.

    :Like this.

    AFAIAA, a single newline is not possible.

    OK, from now on all my change logs are going to include "non-toxic medical-grade documentation".

  • (author) in reply to RLB

    I haven't actually tested in on this implementation, but I believe in a line ends in two whitespace characters before the newline
    It lets you put a break without
    Needing a blank line

  • RLB (unregistered) in reply to Remy Porter

    Hm, it appears to work, but
    I've never encountered that in any documentation.

    Thanks, Gilbert, for showing what sorts of spam still get through.

    I’m disappointed that the links were removed. So many of those products seem like just what I need.

  • (nodebb) in reply to RLB

    I've never encountered that in any documentation.

    And I think I found that the first time I went looking for a description of what was going on with markdown; the term you probably didn't look for was "line break". (It's here for example.)

    Was rereading some of the "best of 2024" articles, and found a plethora of spam in the comments.

    One of the articles had so much spam that it drowned out all of the ham comments.

    Link so you can see the absurdity for yourselves (is still up as of time of writing, but linking to archive.org in the hope that it will all get removed): https://web.archive.org/web/20260309015030/https://thedailywtf.com/articles/comments/best-of-2024-a-bit-about-the-hp3000
