Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 1 (also Whac-a-Mole) North American An arcade game in which players use a mallet to hit toy moles, which appear at random, back into their holes. 1.1 Used with reference to a situation in which attempts to solve a problem are piecemeal... ‘the site's security team has an ongoing battle against spammers, but it's a game of whack-a-mole’ Spammers pop up on this popular forum with regularity. Initial security screening catches a lot of them, but not all. In the background, we are doing additional screening on every new forum member. But sometimes, even we have to sleep... So, it is up to you to be diligent. It is a big, wide, world out there, and spammers come from all over at all times. If you receive a private message from someone you do not know, or is not a SASS member, offering you an item for sale; please be cautious. If you wish, you can click on the "report" link. It sends us a "red flag" and we can look into that person closer for you. There is nothing we can do once you send some person funds, or are dissatisfied with a transaction.
