| Spammer Caught Before Could Spam Ok, well i caught a spammer before he could start to spam  A new member registered and was hanging and login etc but not making any posts so i thought hey up i don't like the look of this considering what my forum topic is, so i decided to google his ip and found he is a blacklisted spammer  | ||||

| I think that as forum admins we develop some kind of ability to spot spammers from a mile off... I often delete/ban people before they've even posted because they are showing sure signs of being spammers, and if they are not, well they can sign up again or email me. | ||||
