Title: Spammers
Post by: Pete The Greek on September 16, 2006, 04:12:46 PM

Mike or Ed, I suspect these two are spammer accounts based on the web links in the profiles.  After doing a google search....

Sorry for not catching this sooner, I have been in Shanghai since Friday, and will be here until the 30th.

My online activity will be very limited during that time.

I deleted 4 or 5 accounts when I logged on earlier tonight.
I added them to the Ban list.

But these pricks keep coming back.

What's especially lame, is that they are joining, entering the verification code, then clicking the link in their email just to posta  spam url.

The porn one was a shock today.

I just don't get it??

I'm aware Deadshot. Thanks.

I'm just tired of deleting them.

To date, I've deleted about 35 accounts now.

I found something online that 'SHOULD' help, but I'll need Ed to help me with it.

In the meantime, I'm just leaving them.
I haven't approved their accounts - so they can't post...... but they do clog up the member list.
