Personally I don't understand spammer. If we go to great lengths to block their posts, why do they think I would "buy" what ever it is they are trying to sell me.

I say anyone not replying to Systemcat's "sound-off e-mail" should get deleted. A clean slate is a wonderful thing, or at least a lean & mean roster with all members postin' on a somewhat regular basis. ("Regular", of course could have a broad definition...) ;)

Note: I'm not tryin' to change things around here- just a suggestion, really. :biggrin:

Besides Ddreamer4e I've gotten two other replies from that email. ...I think the email pissed off my brother. Also a long time reader who I wish would post spoke up.

If any one is Pmed a spam message please tell me so I can take care of the user who does this. If once they'll be banned for a while, if twice they'll be deleted.

Ok, the amount of new users doing nothing and looking like spammers from their email addresses has pissed me off. I looked at all these new accounts and all of them used the same four email address extensions. They've been deleted and the email address extensions have been banned.


The reason why I haven't been in the forum much lately is I've not only been writing but also have been working on putting a collection together for a book.

Bravo! Bravo! [ok]

I recognize the "style" of names, belonging to a spammer I banned from another forum last year. He will not be missed, for he is subhuman slime of the lowest sort.

So much for how I normally catch spammers. qwertyA, was a spammer [depri] . No website listed in the profile, the email address lead to an email site.
qwertyA, left a spambot looking post in the Episodes section.
Their account has been deleted and email extension banned.

I know, I just sent this PM to them.

mr_smiles0n, your profile to a great extent looks like it belongs to a spammer. To prove your self as a real user you must reply to this PM within the next 24 hours. If you do not I'll be deleting your account.

I also banned qwertyA from another board, except to add insult to injury I found out where his mother lived, drove there, knocked on the door and when she answered I slapped her across the face. She said, "I probably deserved that; I just wish it wasn't the fourth time already this week." ;)
