I don't check PM very often, but I now have about 20 messages from these guys. The best thing to do is make sure all the member aware of the problem so no gets tricked into their trap.

Ok mods sorry we may be thinning the member list a bit, so far that's just the # thru G members gone through,

basically I think the reason why we are getting spammed is these users are leaving an open door for spambots with there links, I'll get through more throughout the day.

I have received about a half dozen of these as well....deleted each one. Truly irritating. I will be happy to forward each new one received so we can nail these miscreants.

alright ..... all done!!! been through every junior member listing with 0 posts and have found as many of the lowest scummy loser spammers I can, and thank you to our mods/ admins for banning and deleting them. this should drastically cut down on spam mail, and will be easier to track new joiners that are only siging up to solicite their crap.

Excellent work canadian, im thinking you should be a moderator if you want the job.
maybe Moderator of New Members since you have a good eye for weeding these SOBs out

yeah well it helps when you have the software from work to research IP's. It just tells us where the listing IP is from not who owns it and this assists in weeding out hackers on our directory site.

But even if you look any "Junior Member" with 1-3 posts and their "About Me" stat shows Man in the Biography section, you automatically know it's a spambot with hidden ads and links.
