We are asking for your help in trying to keep the forums clean from members who are only joining to spam you members.

What is spam?
This is any post in the forums, visitor messages or private messages to you that are trying to get you to go to an unauthorized website to buy something or to click on a malware link to gain access to your computer and your personal data.

What you should do if you receive one of these spam messages?
If it is a post you see in the forums then please click on the Report (red triangle in upper right corner) and indicate that the post is spam. We will remove the post as soon as one of the moderators are in the forums. We try to catch them as soon as we see them, but there are times when we are not in the forums.

If it is a visitor message you receive in your user profile you can also report this by clicking on Report in the message. This will alert us to the message and we will remove it and stop the user from sending any more of them.

If it is a private message sent to you then this will have to be done slightly different. In this case please forward the message to any of the admins (Taz D, marymarcel or Tiger ). We will then moderate the sender to prevent them from sending any more spam messages.
