PSA - Block bufdesa

Apparently bufdesa is one of the linkspam accounts that turns the entire top part of the page into a single obnoxious link.

Re: PSA - Block bufdesa

  • If you want to block the user, you can (for the moment) find a working block link at the end of this post:

  • PLEASE, as a mod, DON'T DO THIS!  It makes it very hard for those of us going through to edit these posts.  We work every evening and morning to clean up these links.  Re-directs of re-directs just make it horrible to clean everything up.  Thank you for your future consideration.
    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

    how does my blocking a user make it harder to moderate? If you don't block them isn't that all that matters? Not trying to be snarky, I just don't understand.

    i2i   That doesn't make sense at all.   

  • Sorry, she was practicing redirect links to put on top of the redirect links from windeal earlier.  I was responding to that.

    Sorry! I thought I fixed that link before I called it a day! I realized that it wasn't going to work the way I wanted, so I really meant to change it to a clicky link to the Aruba post so that people could block the spam account.

    I admit that I was playing around with creating my own block links (for convenience - and because it's been a while since I screwed around with much Javascript). But I meant to remove all traces of my handiwork. I do have a conscience, despite what ML might think!

    Anyhow, The Nest should really fix the code on the boards. I'm just waiting for the day that someone toys around and figures out something like a db injection attack that toasts the whole system. Don't you agree?

    PS - Don't worry. I promise not to teach anyone how to make their own block links. With great power comes great responsibility.
