Default Beware of Spammers!!

There seems to be one person among us tonight who is spamming, and when he gets an infraction he re-registers with a different username and does it again. I just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. If we work together, hopefully we can drive him out!

I've caught and "infracted" 'IT' several times tonight while 'IT' was still logged on and in the act of spamming. I think 'IT' is very ticked off about getting "infracted" left and right so I believe 'IT' is going to be on the Ultimate Spamming Mission. I also think 'IT' is very bored and needs to find a new hobby. Perhaps growing orchids will cure the desire to spam.

I am convinced this is what those 'work at home on your computer' ads have in mind for you - spamming up boards

Actually, a lot of spam is automated and there is no actual person on the other side...hence the "it"

If it weren't for our awesome members keeping an eye on things, the OB mods would be
