What do you think? That way the community can self regulate.



This was mummel's idea.....

Maybe I just time it right but there is more SPAM by members complaining about the SPAM then there is malicious stuff.
 
Dave, I'm in!

I usually just report them, but if this will help, I will try it.

Fortunately, on a relative basis, this site has been pretty free of spam.

Good luck and good smoking.
 
Hey, if mummel is right about this, we will have to send him some coupons for free stuff from somewhere..... maybe ship him some garlic....
 
"They" Don't want help. "They" wanna handle it all by themselves.

I think it's more a matter of turning over your business to some people you have "no idea" who they are...

If you owned a business and wanted to go out for lunch, would you hand over the keys and cash register to some unknown who walked in the door...
 
also for the blocking you can hoover over theri name like in this thread you can hoover over a name and block member is the bottom option

Morning Dave

Great idea, and I'll do just that.  For some reason, it doesn't seem to matter what time of the day I log on--NO SPAM lately!!  Don't know why, but I'm  really happy about it.  If it shows up again, I'll definitely follow your advice.
