Thanks on Spam

I know this is probably the wrong place for this but has anyone noticed how some of the people putting the SPAM on are then thanking each other to build up their THANKS to give them more credibility. Just a heads up to be careful. They know we are on to them!!!!!:mad:

    I have utter contempt for the spammers and con merchants of this world that try and encourage you to sign up, click for offers that dont exist, they even have there alases or fanboys (with low post counts) who come to defend them and never come back on.

    We do need some more BG on here as some posts remain for hours or days at weekend on rare occasions, same with referral board as there is no active BG on there anymore

    And no I dont want to be one before any one asks. I just don't like these low life's have there posts remain any longer than necessary

    Fortunatley, the majority of us can smell the spam as they type it out, its up to us to reply with a spam warning to all those newbies who may inadvertantly fall for it, so lets keep up the good work folks ;)

    Thanks, hadn't spotted that.
    Another thing thats gets me about some of the spam threads is that when someone does a post containing THIS sites rules, you get some muppet having a go :mad:
    I have noticed this a lot happening to Poppycat with pyramid schemes (BTW :wave: thanks and respect from me for what you do)
