Thanks for the quick spam kills
Dec 16th, 2010, 12:24pm
 
I know it's a nuisance to everyone to have these pop up.  They've happened on my website too.  Just want you to know I appreciate that they are always removed fast.  
And please keep leaning on whoever powers the forum for means to shut them up.   I can't put GCU forum emails in my spam!  I have the same problem on my site with them and all we can do is plead with those who run the hostings to put in captchas or whatever.  
 
A Merry Christmas to all, except the nasty spammer who should be reduced to nothing but coal in his Christmas stocking and a fatal virus on his computer.     Wink

I hope GCU don`t mind me keep reporting this idiot as soon as I notice he posts another spam message. I have reported three times so far, every time he`s banned he comes straight back with yet another "porn" profile name and nonsense subject line to grab attention. Is he sick in the head or something, what does he hope to gain. It`s beyond me why he keeps taking the time to register and post his filthy links... as if anyone here gives a hoot!
Thanks for acting fast to remove him, what a jerk!
Isn`t there some way to stop people joining with disgusting profile names?, it`s obvious they are not here for the right reasons!

I was wondering this, too, Karen, if there could be a filter of some sort that disallows user names with the word, 'porn' in them?
 
Good idea!
