I Would like to point out a tactic that seems to be increasing lately. We need to be aware of this situation and the help of all members are needed.

SPAM, The tactic is to join as a new member with an advertising link either as a signature or just pasted on the post. Steiner spotted one and questioned the new member,I have locked his post so we can all review this subtle way the spammer is attacking our forum.

If you see this type of post, question the member posting it and alert any team member who is online at the time.

We all are needed to protect our forum,nothing good comes from these post,and frankly we are not here to advertise the latest products and services from other countries. Thanks everyone,Saxondog

Thank you Sparks, Steiner was on him with a quickness. as were you.Lately they have been attacking us with all kinds of crap,sunglasses,hats,clothing and this jerk with some kind of towing service,Insane. But it is our forum,and we all as members can stand our ground against these parasites. Saxondog

The easiest thing to do to help is click the "Report this post" button located in the top right side of the post, any reported post should show up easily for us, a PM would also suffice :thumbup:

Imeadiate action taken by Blake/Sax/ Mod, will hopefully send a message to these people that this will not be tolerated. Lets hope these Clowns get the message.
