Randy if you are subscribed to a forum then every post is sent directly to your email this includes unfortunately SPAM. We are looking into the situation the only way around it right now is to look at posts only on the board where the mods have a chance to kill the Spam first.

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

You're telling me!
It comes in one of two main forms - either porn spam or WoW/Laser/etc. spam. The first stuff is easily found and easily removed - excepting the ppl who are unfortunately subscribed to the spammed thread. The second stuff is just someone with too much time on their hand trying to jack up their Google rankings by posting links from SRP to their stie. Also easily dealt with.
Either way, they get smooshed as like the game "Whack-A-Mole", the mods here are darn quick to get to it...
So far, I've only had to lock one thread temporarily as it seemed to be a spam magnet for a few hours one night. |

This is hilarious.
I just hammered a spammer, spamming this very thread with the exact same message that Randy posted in the initial post 
But yeah, if you subscribe to a thread and someone posts spam, then you get the spam in your inbox.
There is nothing we can do about that.

on the same topic- plz nuke nopq937.... he's driving me crazy! 
Where is it best to post to let you guys know of this if I see no mods or admin online? Can you make it clearer somehow which admin/mod is online?
