Spammers should be efficiently electrocuted by their own thrice damned keyboards
Mostly these days they're just trying to get folks to link to their sites or buy stuff from them, but when I first started modding there were very occasional posts that would have sickened a sadist
I think the net as a whole has cleaned up a lot of those kind of things; isp's and the like take a dim view of some of the non family friendly stuff nowadays, especially once the police get involved.
It makes you wonder though, just what do they think in any of their mince would be of interest to folks on bushcraft sites
We're kind of fortunate here, there are enough Mods and Admins to catch stuff relatively quickly, even if most of us are off doing something elsewhere, there's usually someone around.
We are also blessed with a very pro-active membership who give us heads up when they spot sommat dodgy
it's appreciated
cheers,
Toddy
