Please, never reply to a spammer Thread

Hey Guys, I hate spammers like all normal cpfer here....

But please, never reply in a Spammer's thread, because the only thing that it is doing, is to put this thread at the top each time
Report it to admins but don't reply...these spammers are crazy

Thanks

Plus it gives your name and address to a few hundred others

BTW where did the notify moderator button go? I think this forum had one IIRC

i was going to clcik it on ya bart for that post but i thought maybe i beter not lol

I couldn't find the button for reporting the post.. Probably wouldn't have used it anyways, that's not my thing.. I figured (knew) it was well under control..
I feel better when I get to throw in my CPF compliant swear words, and probably will next time too... Ignoring it wont make it go away, mods will.

you wont see in on your own posts, but it's on everybody else's

LOL! if it was a snake it would have bitten me! ha ha ha

what is a spammers thread?

For me, it's a thread where the only purpose is to advertise about products publicly and without respecting the Forums rules !!!!

Yesterday, no less than 6 new duplicated threads was created by a new member.....

I hate spammers. Apparently other people hate them a LOT more. Spammers beware. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/25/1745212

(the comments on that page are hilarious too)

We should just prohibit selling goods for commercial gain through this forums without having the dealer level supporter status.

You Are Going To Be Paid Back In Full Many Times Over For Your Good Deed And Asistance Good Sir.

Five minutes ago I deleted 2 SPAM-threads and banned two SPAMMERS ... and both threads had 3-4 replies to them.

Please ... hit the notify-button and do not reply !!! Because all those replies do serve the SPAMMER well, and we certainly won't want that.
I know a few things I'd want to do with those people, but they aren't for public consumption on a family-forum ...

Dito to Pascal.

And just for the record ... my statement what I wanted to do to "those people" ... meant the spammers, not those who replied, of course

Phew.. I'll go unlock the door again...

A while back the same general topic came up about people bumping their sales threads in the BST, at that time Admin say why bother, people see it as a new thread anyways.. :thinking:
I'm thinking nobody bought one of the super sale telephones regardless of it being bumped..

We have a very real flood of SPAM threads right now, it is really annoying. Most of you don't see them because they get zapped really quickly, thanx to mod notifications ... :thumbsup: ... thanx for that.
Still ... this might be a price to pay for a larger and larger forum.
