What to do if you see SPAM on this forum!
Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2009 2:17 pmI'm sure many of you saw the spam post in the introduction room. If you see one - please pm either myself or Cedar (or email one of us) and as soon as one of us can get on line, we'll check it out and handle it. Handling it will usually mean banning the spammer and deleting the thread.
Other things to be aware of -
Do NOT click on any links in a post that looks like it might be spam.
Do NOT post to the person - you're likely to draw them back with more spam before we can get there to take care of them.
Unfortunately, while we try really hard to keep any spammers from getting on the forum - it's impossible to catch them all just by username, IP address or email address. So, a few will sneak through - and we will banish them as necessary.
