Title: Thanks Peppy! Just caught one in the act.
Post by: hdflame on February 28, 2012, 07:18:44 pm
Thanks to Peppy, I deleted a spammer's account while they were actually online in the act of spamming!

Bet they were surprised......unless it was just one of those automatic bots!

Glad to be of service! Yes LC, those posts are by scammers trying to advertise or something. Never click the links in their posts, click the 'report to moderator' link in the bottom right of the post box

The poster is a spamer. they surf the net looking for blogs they can fill with their trash. A real PITA. Often their messages make no sense. And the words in blue are something their trying to sell. Sometimes we make fun of them (their an easy target), but usually we just ignore them hoping they will go away. Christmas time it gets really bad. The moderators are pretty good at getting rid of them and banning them from the Upholstery Forum.

If you see one and want to help you can click on "report to moderator", and leave a short message.
