Title: There has been a rash of spammers lately
Post by: dbishopbliss on May 14, 2010, 01:20:05 AM

I've notice a bit more spam than usual lately so I started investigating.  Looking through the member list, there are a large number of registered users that have spam in their signatures.  All of these accounts and any threads or posts they have made will be removed.

I will be reviewing all posts of the remaining accounts and if they have contributed spam, their accounts and any threads or posts they have made will be removed.

Sorry if I end up removing any legitimate accounts.

Sounds like The Firesign Theater's "The Department of Redundancy Department."

At least his spam is not for porn.  He is selling clothing from his links.  Still very poor "form."
