Friends,
We're seeing an increase in spam posts. Spam is not just annoying, but the links can go to hazardous parts of the internet with malicious code to infect your computer. Can you help us keep the site cleaned up? The spammers are getting smart and not creating threads, but posting to existing threads. Almost always, it's from new user accounts that actually finished the sign-up process. If you see something that needs a clean-up, please PM the following admins with a link to the thread involved: -ClayPerrine -Vacca Rabite -Rusty By emailing all three of us, one of us is sure to clean it up quickly and *ahem* escort the jerkwad off the premises. v/r Rusty |

It would take them a long time to get the user names and tag people in. Spammers are lazy and need to work on volume to make money. Taking the time to find everyones usernames is not profit friendly.
Also, the only result would be that we all see a notification and a link to the thread, which would then kill it. Zach |

Zach Doesn't take long at all. I can pull 50 names a page. Drop them in a spreadsheet and sort them for the current active members. Voila I have 100s of member names to fire away. This is volume and takes a few minutes. Again I think it's cool and I hope it all works out. All i am saying is that it can easily be exploited.  |

They all get annoyed and alert me and i find your spam post, kill it and burn your account to a crisp. How exactly is that going to help you as a spammer?
