We have received a few reports today of a forum member sending out pornographic spam emails to our forum members... Please allow me to sincerely apologize for this.

We have done nearly everything possible to screen our forum registrations but these damn spammers always seem to find a way to get through. This latest one, in particular, has angered quite a few of our members. Please understand that it is nearly impossible to avoid this completely and know full well that I immediately banned this person for life from our forum (once I was informed of his activities) and I have also filed the necessary abuse forms with his ISP.

If anyone knows a way to completely eliminate this from happening, please let me know. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled "email" options for the forum. Private Messaging will remain active of course.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

...And to the spammers out there, I will not simply ban and then ignore you -- your activities will be logged, your ISP will be notified and I will file the info with the US Federal Trade Commission, as has already been done with the latest spammer, and we do know who you are
