Spammers, and how to deal with them...
There's been a rise on spammers on the site recently. If you see one, no need to reply in the thread. That will actually help them by keeping it in the active thread list.
Instead contact a Moderator or Admin, or easier yet just use the post report button to immediately notify all R-F.Com staff.
Thanks for your help with early identification...

I completely understand....
one thing i'd like to suggest though...
would it be possible to edit and/or delete their post so that the post itself was pointless.... those threads are locked... but.. anyone can still go in, take a look at the first post, and click his link... im just suggesting to delete that link so it won't go any further than that page.

If its any consideration, I would like to request if a spammer hits a thread, give me the IP/Domain where the post came from as I can have them added to spamhaus.org's SBL/XBL listings as well as Verizons/TimeWarner/Level3/UU.net and Comcasts blocked listings as well.
ed that one

we have been having problems on broncoii.org too. For a while we had the admins approve all new members. but that obviously was to cumbersome. now with the help of members we are controlling the spam bots quicker. Actually I just killed one within 6 minutes of posting. I received the report and away it went into our landfill for admins to ban the name.
