We are still watching and appreciate the help!...
« on: January 18, 2012, 06:32:36 PM »
Thanks all for the quick alerts!  Member "Anewthing" has been banned and all his threads have been wiped.

Us Mods can't be on the site 24/7 because of jobs, family, sleep (wait, we are  allowed to sleep?!?!?), etc. so we appreciate it when users alert us to things like this.  It not only helps us catch spammers, but also intervene topics that are getting too heated.

I'd like to point out that I received 9 E-mails within twenty minutes of this idiotic attempt and we really appreciate your guys vigilance.

It was some new account that was posting three page long adds for their warez like I-phones and such crap.  They cut and pasted the post into several of the different subforums.  I was alerted of it and stopped them after three...

You'd think somebody could pass a law to stop this....

I saw the spam, but figured they'd be laid to waste before too long. :)
