Bumpity Bump.

The forum seems to be attracting the same group of spammers each day.
Easy to spot, as the username is nearly always a long unpronounceable name beginning with the Letter I, with a misplaced capital letter i.e
the current spammer on board is ImminaUnifs.
They also seem to like posting in the wrong section for whatever nonsense they have chosen to scribble, which is usually off topic or not remotely about the subject being discussed.
If you see these people on the board, registering or posting, please alert one of the Mods.
Many Thanks

Just a bump for any newbies if you spot any dodgy looking posts please hit the (all posts have one) on the offending post.
Its no good replying to it, telling them its rubbish as they wont be back to see it.
By hitting the all moderators get an email alerting us to the fact the forum has threads/posts which need removing.

Will do

[sixtyten]

Could members please hit the alert sign (red triangle on top of frame) when you see a potential Spam post on the board?
We have had two in the last two days.If you are not sure if a poster is spamming, try Googling their Username.
A quick Google of the latest Spammer "LeslieTeresa",show he/she has posted the same "kerali" message on several other Vbulletin boards.
Yesterdays Spammer "Mom_estrella" shows the same pattern.

Many thanks
