Help Admin/Mods with spam
Please use the report link (looks like a little yield sign with a ! in it) when you find spam on here. Generally we can see it and will react as soon as we catch it but we cannot catch all of it all the time. By reporting the spam post it comes to our attention quicker.

Moccasin has has become our official "
Cop" and as such, has done a great job keeping the
off of our board. I want to thank him publicly for assisting with this effort.
I hope to implement some
-stopping measures that will help to deter
before it's posted.
Thanks Moccasin!

Re: Help Admin/Mods with spam
Thanks to both you, Gary, and all others that make this a great place to be.
With respect to spammers, if they post their e-mail address do you mind if we send them massive amounts of info? I would suggest we forward every spam e-mail we get to them. I get a lot.

No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...

Re: Help Admin/Mods with spam
Generally, spammers will just bounce from one email account to the next. They use Gmail and Hotmail a lot for this purpose. So, sending them emails won't do any good, I'm afraid.
I just have to get something nailed down that will keep them from joining to begin with.

We don't weed out the Viagra and Paris Hilton spam. We hide it until we can look at the Paris Hilton pics and submit your email addresses to the Viagra people.

Re: Help Admin/Mods with spam
The Viagra people? Makes me wonder what a "Viagra person" looks like.


Re: Help Admin/Mods with spam
Rick one day when you get old or on high blood pressure medicine you could very well be a viagra person.
Btw Mark Martin has been stiff competition this year and he doesn't drive the viagra car anymore
