We occasionally get a drive-by hosing with spam and trolling. Fortunately, not 
very often.

When I see them, I just delete them from the server. If I miss one, please
email 
me about it.

Please do not reply to those posts. That's what they want. It confirms to them 
that they have an audience. It spreads their contagion, especially when your 
reply quotes the posts. I delete replies, too, as a general rule.

If you want to talk about spam, start a new thread. Don't reply in the spam or 
troll threads, don't quote them, don't reply with "do not feed the trolls" 
posts, don't acknowledge them in any way.


Oh, and I don't mind occasional off-topic posts from forum regulars.

+1!

Trolls are one of the only two kinds of problems known to 
humanity that actually get solved by themselves if you ignore 
them.

The other kind of problems, in case you wondered, is clients ;-P

BTW, I am inordinately pleased at the decorum in this forum, such that I've 
never felt a need to post guidelines about that. Coupled with how great
everyone 
was at the D conference, I think we have a fantastic community, one we can all 
be proud of.
