Spammers

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

I just dont understand the point in even trying it-its not like we're gonna be convinced to buy anything when we're irritated by them.

Good work Jim :wink:

Actually according to stats they will get a sale for every 1,000,000 emails they send out, so if they are cranking out 70,000,000 a day, thats 70 sales a day which is why they are relentless because it does pay off.

Still amazed someone actually falls for the little spammers, but at least it explains the volume. Fanny seemed to give us (you) a little break for a few weeks, but now back in force eh!?

Danke Schon to all administrators, web hosts, computer towers, phpBB etc-tis appreciated. Does that cover you all :D

this spamers thing is going insane now. something will have to be done, or this might happen http://gvzrku.ru/Photo/displayimage.php?album=21&pos=5 (see our bcde997?) . is deleting posts all we can do? no option to ban it's posting? can a person terror this board and can't be stoped? or is deleting post some sort of fetischism?

I've deleted all their posts. Only admins can ban/delete users.

I don't post a lot but I do log in daily to check and deal with spam posts.

I think this is what people are wondering. It can not be left up to a couple of mods to clean this mess up, who is actually running the site??

Ummm what exactly did I say to prompt this quite uncalled for response?

I said I log in daily to deal with them, just like you do. I've never said I do everything on my own I just don't post as much as I used to.

Looking at the mod logs we've both been deleting them every day
