Spam!
Ok, I can tolerate a lot of stuff on a forum, but spam is not acceptable. We now have a spammer (showstarlight) that as been allowed to spam the site for 2 days now. Sal, I think it's time you form a staff of moderators to help you out so things like this can be taken care of in a timely manner.

This showstarlight is a known spammer from China: http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=showstarlight

RE: Spam!
We already had something in place to protect us from spammers - however, it seems there can never be enough steps in place.. I've installed a new plugin that will help keep people like this popular spammer away.

That being said, I do believe we need moderators.. If anyone with experience is interested, please let me know..

Thank you,

Sal C.

Thanks for dumping that spambucket lowlife. That's the one thing you find out in short order when you have to deal with them on a regular basis; software protection only lasts so long before these lowlifes figure a way around it. Eyes on the ground are your backup.

PM Sent Sal!

I've been reporting all spam messages/posts and members that are obvious spammers. Sal seems to get on them pretty quick, but I agree that us daily visiting members could handle things a little faster.
