Christ, I just deleted a million of these goddamned spammer posts. This problem just keeps getting worse. I'm starting to think we need to temporarily prevent new members from joining.

Just block anyone from joining for a few months. Explain the problem and tell them to come back later

Got another one. Probably one that registered prior to Chris making new members administrator approval only. But when I tried to look at his profile, I got an error message saying I didn't have permission to access the page. Don't understand why.

Anyway, he sent me yet another of those "virus activity detected on your computer" PMs under the username Hummannic. I looked this one up on a spammer database website and came up with positive results.

Don't know how he got through, but when I moved to BAN him, he was already banned by another MOD. Some of the mods move really fast

Delete that message right away, click on nothing. Nothing more to do now that he's already toast.

i did, and i do.
i dont want to find out what will happen.
my dad already got a spam email at his office and it crashed all the computers at his office (he runs a doctors (OBGYN) office and it crashed the total of 4 computers there, no biggie) but he got the network back up and working thankfully.

There's another one, calling itself AllAdmin (not AllAdministrator, just AllAdmin) and telling me that if I didn't pass their "virus test", they'd have to complain to my ISP. lol
