While I understand your frustration Andy,
I & others subscribe to saverl forums including the Garage forums, as a way to find new posts & then save the wanted topics as subscribed to topis.
It's much easier for those of us busy on other work & family etc. stuff to get them sent to our email so we can check them - especially for ads from guys like Mark 914sixer who get really good parts FS that go very fast!
I would suggest that a preferable approach would be to just block the offending fake members who are spamming - as I know you & admins have done with some offending real members.
914club has been dealing with this same spamming fake members problem with no luck, because they don't eject those members - so more & more come in.
IMHO if the hackers/spammers see that they're not blocked or ejected or whatever the proper IT Techie term is - then they're more likely to continue spamming & adding even more accounts.
I think that swift removal is the best path, & it saves you having to delete all posts during extended periods by those jerks.
Besides - what kind of IDIOT spammer puts a bunch of posts with Chinese - or whatever characters they were - & expects anything useful to come of it!!??
Maybe the Chinese or North Korean government & military hackers who swear they don't do that - but then they should just be shot for their own stupidity!
Thanx for trying something anyway Andy.
Cheers!
Tom
