Sounds like a clueless confused user new to running web servers.
yep, pretty mucn
(still not sure why they asked about centos on ask ubuntu, but i've seen weirder)
(I've been using Linode for four years and have been working with Linux in one form or another since high school)
You know why I originally signed up for Linode? Because I wanted to do class products on my own server, rather than use my college's infrastructure.

@Mithrandir Actually that comment is suspicious as well. Why repeat the URL? The entire exchange sounds like a dialogue from a bad commercial.

But the question I'm hesitant to call spam
The answer is gone. If another one pops up I'll be tempted to flag the question as a spam seed.

Restart: API quota is 13087.
@Mithrandir what do you mean 'broken'?
Or do you mean in the sense of auto-reporting?
@angussidney yeah
@angussidney that could be longest standing bug in Charcoal history. We know the problem lies somewhere in the Smokey/MS connection.
Actually, Undo thinks the opposite
Anyway, that's probably my fault, given that I'm the FDSC maintainer nowadays

4:10 PM
@NVZ I don't think so
SENTIENCE HAS BEEN ACHIEVED
@NVZ I'm not sure if there is any research available on that, but given the size of SO compared to other sites, it should see more than 20% of the total spam on the Stack Exchange network.
In fact, Ask Ubuntu sees more spam because it has a higher TP-rate than Stack Overflow.

@Glorfindel yeah, I've seen the graphs, but how do I see if the mandatory registration helped?
@SmokeDetector please no shouting in the house.
@NVZ you don't. I think Stack Overflow would see more spam, proportional to its size, when registration wasn't required like it is on most sites.
@Glorfindel we can find the date for the requirement and check if there was a drop...

@Mithrandir that's probably pre-Smokey.

Yes and yes. Though the main reason is not spam reduction, but low quality question reduction.

SO is not the only site on the network that requires registration though.
