Relentless Spammers will stop at nothing..

OK, so, yesterday, 'thomashanks' was spamming the forum repeatedly with his/her advertisement to get a loan which also included his email address. Well, after deleting and deleting post after post, I got a little miffed and decided to send an email to this so called 'thomashanks'. I told him to stop spamming Debt CC and that solicitations were against the rules.

He replied: ATTN:

OK, Understand Solicitations are not permitted at the Debt CC community Forum,
Please where can i place my ad for poeple in need of a loan.

I didn't reply, BUT, when I opened my yahoo messenger, there he was AGAIN, trying to add me to his messenger list.

They just never give up do they. Laughing

I would just report him to yahoo as a spammer/abuser if you wish to try and make a little dent in his tactics.

Do you have an option (if it would matter) to enable a timer for this forum? So, a person would have to wait a minute before he can post again?? (but I guess if that person is a guest, it won't work?)
This time limit seems to stop spam bots from posting multiple spams in short period of time. Just a thought. Smile
