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.

Does that mean we can't Global PM? Or in other words CC our PMs? If that is the case...well....Dag-Nab-It! I understand why...just crummy now that the bad apples spoiled the bunch.

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.

I didnt get this PM, but sometimes (only on guru), text is randomly replaced with RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO...

Maybe this is more serious than i initially thought:http://www.pchelpforum.com/hijackthi...ine-gored.html

Edit: Ok nvm its just the site's censoring system. I just wish someone had told me about this before i prepared for a full scale war on malware that may have hijacked my pc. hehe

divine, i assure you it's not malicious or serious. It's our swear filter. If you see that phrase it's because someone has used a bad word and it's our chosen way to replace it

Usually, on other forums, you'll see the word replaced by **** or #@$!@#, we choose RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE.
