He's deleted. I get several of these a week, they never complete the registration so are not "Active". Remember how the system would send you an email once you signed up, and you had to click on a link in the email to become active? Well these spammers never become active, which means they cant view our member list. So they are just a pest really, not causing any harm. I've written a bit of code that goes through the database deleteing any members with a 1/1/1900 birthdate and not active. I run this every month, or when I hear from you guys, like tonight. Thanks Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

You know every time you post a message about a new spammer this post goes to the top of the list ![]() All I can say is I'm on to it. I routinely go through and delete them, though I should add, they are harmless. What these peole do is sign up to message boards like this one, then post messages about whatever product they are pushing, like cheap watches or software, etc. However they dont use a valid email address, so they never actually become full members and cant post anything. Its pointless, but its mostly a automatic thing with little interaction from the spammer, so they are not actually aware that they are not getting anywhere. The spammers use software that searches the internet looking for forums and mailing lists, then it tries to become a member. Because Spammers never use real email addresses, the membership application is never completed so they never become active. I should add that everyone's email address is safe. No one ( not even me ) can see members email address, we all need to use the forums email page to send emails to other forum members, and to do that we need to be active members.
