Hi Roberto, I think you just use the delete spam button, that's what I did.

Liam, when I did a spell check for you, it came up with "butt". Hmmmm, wonder which is the correct spelling. ...........

Wow, and here I always thought spam was just maps for dyslexic people.

Of course, figuring out the tag line on the last one would be easier if I'd been logged in.

Liam, suffering from premature postulation. Or something.

Don't feel bad.

They stopped trusting me too. Jim

Or maybe after so many, you exceed your quota, and are retired.

I think what Roberto was saying is that he (like myself) has been stripped of his spam nuking button.

One strike and you're out, No second chances!

....so be careful how you use that thing!

Well dang guys.

So I guess the administrators are so busy administrating to our "bad boys" that they haven't got time for the spammers. ...

hmmmm.... I'm wondering if that just may be the answer........

Yes, Den or someone suggested that to admin a year ago.

It's a step up from the cottage cheese butt I used to have, but not yet up to the filet mignon butt I'm aiming for.

Liam, butting out now.

well bottom line is this IS the internet and there are thousands upon thousands of people out there with plenty of time on their hands with nothing to do but think of ways to spam, and to somehow earn money in the process...

You will never ever stop it, but to cut back on it would be helpful. And forcing people to register before posting might slow some of it down. Still allow all the lurkers to read and research as they like because there are many many pappers out there that just want information but don't need to or want to post. But if they WANT to post , make them register.

There are ways to defeat the evil bots.

Did you ever have to copy the wavy little numbers shown in a little graphic before registering for a forum? That is murder to the bots.
