"Staff! save us from the rabid JAT!"

meaning "yankee doodle" aka oinks. Well im assuming this as oinks was an idiot spammer and so is yankee doodle.

but what can be done? someone comes on and ruins fourms with spam, you ban em and they come back in another guise and continue on their spamathon.

i just get annoyed by this as it is a complete waste by typic hundreds of single letter posts.

:(

*is annoyed*

Yeah, but these guys are persistent, if ignored, they'll just bump their posts and annoy people who've spent a hell of a lot of time writing a decent post and it ends up dropping. (happened to me...)

Hey, here's an idea - why not log the user's IP adresses, if someone is banned, then you can check the IP addresses of any suspicious users and you'll be able to ban them again. Worth a shot, SR

I never actually came onto the chat forums back then, I only came on them in August when I was a newbie not a JAT.

biman, BIMAN! what the hell is wrong with me?!

i was a rad JAT, just ask biman or microchips, they'll tell ya.

*threatens microchips with big knife*

planty of JATs are ok, however the current crop (oinks, yankee) well they are both the same person but the amout of crap posted by them is amazing. Ignoring them won't work because they will continue to spam to try and get our attention and spam worse. Ho hum.

I find it highly amusing you and the rest of ther hair bare bunch were doing the exact opposite on his SR sucks topic. ;)

Something I made up, and became very funny. Kind of like a cathphrase so to speak, I'd explain it exactly but I can't be bothered, people on here who know it will laugh or at least crack a smile and that's good enough for me.
