@dafyre You are making a run for #6, in fact!
Can I make 2000 spam posts real quick?
CAN you? Maybe.
Oh great @dafyre ... now you've got @scottalanmiller curious if he can do it... this is going to be the Ghost Pepper that was entirely from spice-ups all over again...

That's a really good idea... I didn't even think about that.

Oh I know that I can do it. I've already got scripts for doing cool reads here.

LOL, I warned them that you could do it and that you could have a Ghost user who had never posted a single time. People told me I was stupid and that the spice points represent community involvement.
So on a Sunday afternoon hanging out with @bsouder in three hours I wrote a program that totally automated Spiceworks and went through their RESTful API and went thread by thread up voting everything. The very first post made by that user was "Hey, guess who I am." as a Ghost. Not one single post, review or anything prior to being Ghost. Three hours of effort only.
And that's why you max out at 11 points from spicing things per day.

I also know how, but never did it because it would make a mess, to have a script take hundreds of thousands of old SW posts, copy one at random, and post it onto the end of each thread. So if spicing up once on each thread gets you a lot of points, imagine what posting to each thread would do! 10x the points, just as fast. And almost impossible to catch because it is real posts, each one different.

Why am I not surprised that @scottalanmiller has a script that reads every post around here? Next thing we know he'll be putting the coffee maker on the network and having it brew a cup of coffee for him in the exact amount of time it takes to walk to the thing.

And you can't change your own display name anymore after the prank all the SPs pulled with the name change that one time. We had Kris freaking out. Lol

Did that in some other community too. Everyone was so eager to reach a high rank, so I wrote a script that just kept posting random Wikipedia-snippets. Got the highest possible rank within a few hours.
Same thing here: Told the owner that cheating is possible, he didn't believe it. Happened during dotcom.

My oil change was taking forever just asked why.... My car had 50 updates and it's taking forever.
Wonder if they have to keep shutting it down and restarting it in between each one.

Also... Why are they doing updates on your car when you came in for an oil change? lol.

Because I am a local business owner I get oil changes, basic tune ups etc. for free every 7,500 miles
