Spammers

Post by Alex »

Hi All

Please let me know if you see any Spammers on this forum. I shall delete them immediately.

The forum has grown too big for me to see everything that is going on now, so I have to rely on the community to let me or Rose know. May I suggest that when one of you has PM'ed me (or Rose) that you post a message to let the others know?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Alex, do you need PMing or is it enough to click the "report" button under the message? Anything we can do to keep these horrible people out, you just let us know!

Hi Mabel

Please PM me - that way, I get an email straight through to my Blackberry and can delete them immediately.

Please don't forget to put up a post to let others know that you have PM'ed me, so I don't get 100s of PMs. :lol:

Thanks

Alex

Ok Alex, so we'll post on the main forum.
Isn't it a shame though that these people feel a need to do it.
Just glad you can sort it so quickly for us.
Thank you! :rose: :choc:

They are of the same ilk as the hackers, nothing better to do than cause misery for others. Sad pathetic little lives they lead. :x

Umm how do we recognise a spammer?? This is the only forum I belong to and it is the first time I have heard this term used?

It'll be someone who comes on here and tries to sell us things, or post links to websites of questionable quality.
You know them when you see them.
They often have personal hygiene issues as well..! :D

I pm'd Alex, too, before I saw this Agi. I put up a thread titled Unappropriate Content--Shemale so hopefully people will see it before they open anything by this person.

Thanks Alex! :applesauce:

Yes this is a nice forum. That's the first time I've seen anything untoward in here. Some sites have a LOT of problems.
Though I have to say that the spammers usually use words on the other sites I go to, rather than the very graphic picture this one posted! :lol:
