spam – The Daily SPUF

Another Article About Spam

August 24, 2021August 20, 2021 Medic 0 Comments spam

The other day, I briefly noticed that there were a lot of spam comments. Normally, I delete these on the regular, but I must have just forgotten lately. Not that it’s a huge problem, I’m the only person who ever sees spam comments. And it’s very easy to get rid of spam as well. All I have to do is click a button, and all those spam messages disappear. What does surprise me though is just how much there is. Seriously, there can be thousands of spam messages if I forget to empty the spam bin. I’m pretty sure that… [Continue Reading]

No, I do not require your ‘website design and SEO services’.

Editor’s note: This article has been sitting in Pending since May 14th, 2014. Ten years later, I am finally publishing it. As is. Not for any real reason, I just noticed it was sitting there and decided to finally set it free. Funnily enough, ten years later, I still get these emails and, ironically, I get a lot less of them now the site is dead and I don’t use Jetpack any more. I don’t know why, but the Daily SPUF’s email address gets some annoying spam emails. Most of them get filtered out, thankfully. Just having your email address… [Continue Reading]

On Spam Comments

July 25, 2019July 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments horrible, random, spam

As I logged in earlier to write an article, I was greeted with a pretty normal message from Akismet, the free WordPress plugin that makes sure most spam comments just get insta-deleted. Today’s one was somewhat special though. Akismet has protected your site from 22,000 spam comments already. There are 194 comments in your spam queue right now. That’s a lot of comments. Granted, that’s 22,000 comments in over 5 years of Daily SPUF content but that is still a LOT of comments. And I haven’t gotten around to deleting the spam queue in a bit. The content of most… [Continue Reading]

If you're not prepared, you'll spend a lot of time on the floor. And even if you are, there's a high chance of being one-shotted.

On the Hell Hole that is the Sortie

April 22, 2017May 15, 2017 Medic 0 Comments challenge, hell, spam, warframe

Sorties are daily mini-quests that are super hard. They feature three super hard missions, with enemies ranging from level 50 to level 100. Each mission generally has an extra modifier, like enemies having stronger armour, fires exploding all around the mission, half health or shields, hugely decreased mobility or, if you’re lucky, weapon restrictions, such as Shotgun, Secondary, Sniper or Bow only. I’ve mentioned them before, and only done a handful of them because of their difficulty. Of course, being super hard, I generally avoided them. Despite my love for my Ignis and my Volt, they are simply not strong… [Continue Reading]

2fort could be saved, yet somehow we still haven’t managed it

September 21, 2015 Medic 0 Comments 2fort, analysis, balance, criticism, map, maps, spam, suggestion

Note: I wrote this on my mobile. You should be impressed. Do you know how many variations of 2fort there are? Tons of them. Far more than any other official map. You don’t see them on the TF2 map workshop because Valve nor us want them there, the workshop is for brand new stuff, not fixes and modifications. Valve will do their modifications in their own time, and you can always sell map stamps with new maps – community fixes are harder to make money from. But you visit tf2maps.net or gamebanana, the 2fort variations will flood you. 2fort night,… [Continue Reading]
