Re: Be on the lookout! - Spammers!

Before approving any new account we look for the obvious Spammers like the one you found, new members even though they've registered can't post until we approve them and when we spot the obvious we just ban their IP and ban their account.

It's the sneaky ones that join with an account like this, grt88 with an Gmail or Hotmail account. You see, the forum name grt88 doesn't really stand out as a Spammer so in most cases we approve what looks normal or harmless, but then after we approve their account, if they are in fact a Spammer, within minutes they will show up and start posting their Spam.

This is why we only approve accounts when we know for sure we're going to be sitting behind the computer for hours to watch out for the ones that sneak by us.

Sad but that's how some people are in our society...

Thanks for the watchful eyes, and if a sneaky spammer gets by us and posts their Spam to the forum the please don't hesitate to call our cell phone or shoot us an e-mail
