RE: Nigerian scam
Thanks for posting this. This person just applied for an account on a forum that I'm a mod/admin for and you saved me the hassle of getting rid of her after she spammed people.
I don't know how bad the spam problem is here, but I do know that the last person to register before me is a signature line spammer - rhonda52faby. Sometimes sig line spammers are rather benign in that they never post (they just rely on people looking at their profile) but some are a pain in the nether regions because they post inane posts just to get you to see their spam (like "rhonda" did). I'm writing not only to thank you, but also to return the favour by telling you about a great website called Stop Forum Spam. You can either check each new member individually, or you can install the plug-in they have available. We have the plug-in on the forum where I work and it makes my life so much easier. You can also report your spammers to them. I'd report rhonda52faby for you but as I don't have access to her IP addy, I cannot. By the way, I do not have any affiliation with SFS. I'm just happy to do my bit towards stopping spammers. | |||
