The best spam I ever got was an email with the subject "flaming pants":
NEW ONE OF A KIND PANTS WITH FLAMES!
Are you looking for a fresh start? A new look? Well then look
no further because we have just what you need! Our quality flaming
pants are new, hip, and will always keep you warm. You might think
that a pair of pants this good would be expensive right? WELL YOUR
WRONG! For a limited time only you can get these funky hipsters for
only $399.99! We will even include another AMAZING offer! Now you can
buy 4 get 1 free! All you have to do is e-mail our company at
I got it 6 years ago and saved it because, you know, flames forever on our pants.

Oh that's right it wasn't mailed straight to me; it was spammed to comp.lang.c++

@Unihedron why didn't you flag the one on ELU?
 
It doesn't look like spam, just a badly composed / formatted question.
 
But... our trusty bot thinks it's spam
 
It said "All-caps title"... But eh, sure. (flags)

Good guy :-)
Welcome to the party
 
I am wondering what kind of OS you are running @JanDvorak. Recent versions of Windows do it automatically, so it's probably not that.
 
@Sumurai8 Win7. Where do I recheck my settings?
 
Stop gaining reputation already O_o
 
Should I use the built-in one, or schedule defraggler instead? How often?
 
I can't check the settings I have at home right now, but I think by default it should be once a week or so. If it runs often, it is done in no-time. Not filling up your hard drive to the absolute last byte helps too.
 
Huh... the inbuilt defragmenter thinks the disk is 0% fragmented and hasn't run for quite a while despite being configured to and despite having defragmented (analysed) the other partition as well as `\\?\Volume{...}` (what's even that?) yesterday.
 
7:08 AM
Worse, the built-in defragmenter apparently doesn't want to defragment the pagefile
 
Bam, one down.
 
24 helpful spam flags on drupal, hooray!
 
Are there never enough spammers? Lol

Does drupal.se get so much spam because of the italicized site theme?
I'd spam it with a botnet out of principle if I knew how.
 
*principle
 
I have gained 410 reputation among several SE sites today... sadly 400 of that is from making accounts
 
and no, it's not in all italics for me
 
8:47 AM
ACK I knew that. embarrassed
That's so weird; All of the text on that site is italics for me, even the "post not found" pages.
I will get to the bottom of this.
 
disable all users\w+s
 
@Sumurai8 Same... High five?
 
@Unihedron -4 for downvoting?
 
Yeah. DV all the things!!
 
Ah ha; it's because my DejaVu Sans font is italics.

@Sumurai8 That poor dude. lol
 
@Sumurai8 edited???
 
Someone edited it, but it is still spam

I still have 7 left there.

I don't like baba

it didn't work

@ShadowWizard Is that a special type of sueing?

@Sumurai8 i do a firework display for you, yet no thanks? you are sure hard to please :(
 
@iStimple I still haven't finished enjoying it and therefore cannot gauge the amount of gratitude I should show.
 
@Sumurai8 oh, i see, that makes me feel better. Yea, sometimes things just leave you speechless.
 
@iStimple Ah, here we go. I seem to have finished enjoying the image right about... now. The calculated amount of enjoyment can be expressed through the word "thanks". From now on it will be a grainy jpg with graphical artifacts though.
 
@rene so.... stuff hit the fan

@Braiam Yeah...under new EU ruling you can get a fine of 800,000 euro's in case of a breach in privacy-sensitive-data. We take privacy serious....
 
I'm pretty sure the EU will be quick to counter this ruling.
or at least they'll attempt to
 
@rene Finally something about the EU to be proud of!
 
BTW, I wonder how that will affect US software industry pockets
 
It does have impact, at least for the market share within government agencies...

Q: How to handle when OP delete question when someone answered

TGMCiansI see sometimes on Stack Overflow op delete the question once someone answered the question. I know OP can't delete the question once answer gets any one upvote but problem happens when there is no upvotes on answer. New users don't know about this that system can block to ask next new question ...

 
@Stijn I want the model name of the printer! Would be the perfect present for our IT office

@Stijn Someone seems to be spamming the vote button on that question
