PLEASE READ: About Idiot Spammers

There were a total of seven messages I deleted today.  Do you think that was really a lot?  Granted, the normal amount that is able to get past my spam filter is zero, but I can't see it being a catastrophe.

If you go to most other forums on the Internet, you would see many of these spam messages posted every day.  The only reason I pay so much attention to it myself is that I loath these snakes who are specifically posting to a lottery forum, hoping to prey on people who are down on their luck, looking for inspiration.  That's just plain evil.

I'm working on some code (to be installed this week) that should put the squeeze on this particular moron pretty quickly.  This rotten spammer will not last much longer, if I have anything to do about it.

HOWEVER, don't get too bent out of shape when you see his garbage.  Remember that the only reason it stands out so much is that you're used to seeing zero spam here, which is uncommon among Internet forums.  Just click the Report Abuse link and happy forget about it.

The last thing you should do when someone posts spam on the forums is to reply to the post.

Don't reply to any topic posted by a spammer.

The only thing that you're doing by replying to it is bumping it up in the forums.  That is exactly what that idiot wants.

The only correct action to take is to click the "Report Abuse" link that appears on the bottom of the post.

Please DO click that link for each post made by a spammer.  It is a very simple process, and takes just a moment to do.

If you are making several reports of the same person, do not feel the need to type a detailed note to me when reporting the spam.  The most important thing is that you're reporting it, and the report I get includes a direct link to the post, so I can easily find the spam.

By clicking the link on each spam post you come across, that will ensure that I find them all.  For example, if you stumble upon 5 different spam posts, but you only report the first one, then I may not find the other four.

Thanks everyone for your help in eliminating spam.

Don't worry, I'll get rid of this guy, just like I did 3 or 4 months ago (it's the same jerk).  It just takes some time for me to observe him and then crush his access.  Just keep clicking that Report Abuse link when you find spam.

This website is SUPERIOR.  You have put a lot of work into it.  A novice webmaster or maybe web site builder, whatever the proper name would be, could really benefit from studying the functionality of this site.  It is just awesome.  It shows that much though and work went into developing and maintaining this site.  Thanks Todd, for sharing your genius with us!
