Of course well all think they should be banned, and they will Im sure. However, they will just create another account and do it again. Its a losing battle....

Yep, probably just a cut and paste job to posters in any given thread or they just used the "who's online" part. *shrugs* Very little can be done about it, sad to say.

*shakes a fist at -those- bastards* Can't they be IP banned? Or is that not a function on these kind of forums?

Glad to see that others have complained. I just noticed this spam PM this morning.

I am suprised that we are not getting more of these type of PMs.

Thanks to the Mods that are taking care of this problem.

It's Inde's brilliant swear filter.

It says GO RED ENGINE GO. The GO and RED get smushed together so it misleads people into thinking it says GORED.

I will just cut and paste the same PM then send it to another if I am in need of getting info to more then one person and I am not feeling like re-typing it all.
