Default Spam

I've deleted the spam posts in the main T2K forum. I'm aware there are also posts in the Morrow Project and archive forums but I have no Mod rights there and can't do anything about them so I've flagged it up to Rae / Kato to action.

Thanks to those who reported them.

Seems to me spammers deserve permabans.

Posts and user have been removed. This was a super clumsy spammer but there are more stealthy ones.

Something to keep an eye out for. A new user who posts a single sentence. Something like "This is very interesting" or even a copied sentence from earlier in the thread. Then after the thread cools down they come back and add to their signature. Adding a link to something they want to have higher google rankings (cross-links are part of the algorithm) . PM me if you see the above.

You're no problem, we've seen a few posts by you over the years. It's when somebody makes a single post then never posts again and they use something like this: -
thank you very much I understood everything very well almost like counting 123 hahahaha - in this case, the "123" was a link for some something unrelated to the forum.

What I posted above is from a spammer who posted that line in the Equipment Database enhancement thread under the games.juhlin.com section of the forum.
