STOP replying to Spam!!
I can't hold it in any longer!!
STOP REPLYING TO THE SPAM POSTS IN THE FREEBIE FORUMS!!!
The mods have told us at LEAST 6 times to stop replying and bumping up their posts.
Look at their sticky note at the top of the forum!
Report it and move on!!

bumping again
If you find a repost or a spam post, please DO NOT REPLY TO IT. That just keeps it up top of the front page. Either report it or leave it alone. We will find it and get rid of it if necessary.Last edited by 3lilpigs; 05-20-2010 at 03:39 AM.

6 times???
I think it's been more, but hey I just had to bump this up.
I agree, the spam is getting rediculous. More times than not, it's a NOOB that replies to them.

I find it is usually the same person that replies to the spammers. I report them too when I report the spam post. Originally Posted by Explorer 4x4'r

One of us usually comes around and finds it and bans them.

The best way to deal with spam is simply delete it. If you "unsubscribe" or try to block it or report it to your e-mail ISP the spammers will get a message that yours is an active e-mail account and you will get more! Maybe, like telemarketers, they will soon just give up!

The thread is about people joining the site and posting links to their site or sites that scam sites. Not about spam e-mail. Originally Posted by madscientist
