As some might notice, theres a shedload of spam going on recently, and its only going to get worse.

Unfortunatly, most people dont realise its spammers, and it ends up messing threads up and confusing people.

Heres some:

I did post some ideas about this: http://www.n95users.com/forum/126177-post12.html

I think something should be done beforehand, as I reckon its just going to get a lot worse.

We are aware of tanky, and their signature, they have been given an infraction, however, I think a ban is on the cards personally.

As for Angilina, I have recently also brought this up with the team also, so don't worry, we are on the case.

EDIT- In fact, i have just banned these two members after checking their other posts, and coming to the conclusion they are indeed, blatant spammers.

Appriciated. I just think that some proactive measures should be taken, otherwise its going to mean mods keep having to delete/flag stuff all the time.

With Tanky, should just tell 'her' to get rid of the sig and homepage. That way, if she actually wants to stay and be part of the community rather than spam, she can do. If shes a spammer, she wont have any point in staying, and wont post again.

Not a problem. After checking the emails, and IP addresses, they appear to be from far east companies just trying to free advertise.

I have brought up with the team regarding measures you mentioned in your Spam thread. Some good ideas there!

Cheers. Would be nice to be proactive against the spammers for once, rather than cleaning up after them.
