  1. O.K. so there's a "report spam" option but that doesn't stop them coming back.
    Here's my idea:- Copy their entire post (usually about 500 lines of "NOKIA 320 usd" and email it to the spammer; they always give you their email address.
    If we all do this then their mailbox will fill up with their own spam.

  2. If you are going to do that, I should get a temp garbage email accout to do it with. It could backfire on you and then you will get all that SPAM sent to you personally. :eek:

    Well, yes I did that.

  4. "report spam" more effective to keep the forum clean. [img]cycling.net.ausmile.gif[/img] The mods are generally quick to respond. Posting/Blogging links to their sites increases their ranking in the big Google
    They probably pay someone 2 cents an hour in a developing country to post spam on forums.[img]cycling.net.aueek.gif[/img] and 2 cents to someone else to filter their emails.
