671607 2008-05-22 09:13:00 Jeez Jen you weren't kidding about him flooding his spam all over the Internet!

But what annoys me is how so many so-called smart tech forum users fall for that sort of underhanded bull. And just as frustrating is of all the dozen forums I tried to alert to this, they all required registration before I could post. Stuff that.

671608 2008-05-22 09:22:00 Yeah, and the hardest part is that people get more suspicious of new members and it can be hard to tell if they are genuine or not when they post a thread written in a particular manner. I hate to see a new member get a hard time when they are genuine. :(

I've lost count of how many spammers (and their multiple accounts) I've chucked off this forum over this last week.

I found some have even posted on a legal anti-spam forum?! :xmouth:

671609 2008-05-22 09:37:00 Well done Jen. I sleep better knowing that you are caring for our welfare. :wub Scouse (83)
671610 2008-05-22 09:42:00 the other thing is it may not have been paid spam . you can get a few forums which use bots to post the question asked on all sorts of forums and then gather up all the answers and post them back on the orginal forum .

still spam, still crap .

thanks got o Jen :)

For everything else there is Jen.

Thanks for shooting them down.

671614 2008-05-23 01:33:00 A quick question (and I know you have told us before :( ) - how do I let you know Jen about spam? I saw some yesterday that hadn't been reported, but couldn't do the next bit.

Thanks for your good work. :)
