Wormin, I am glad to hear it, that means we are getting rid of most of it before too many people see it. We have gotten a couple of alerts and I have delete at least eight spammers in the last two days. Three of them have been for porno sites (I didn't even peek, I just went by the titlles).

Way to Go, If I want SPAM or PORN, I think I can find it on the web. Thanks for keeping the site free...................Wormin, I am glad to hear it, that means we are getting rid of most of it before too many people see it.

PS, I'm trying to get my 8 year old grandson into in fishing and have introduced him to this web site. So thanks, and let's all help to keep it clean for the children...

I was the first to reply to one of the spammers on the tournament board. I missed the red exclamation point. However, I will be sure to "punch" it in the future. Thanks for cleaning the site up.
I spent the better part of an hour on Friday morning banning spammers..thanks for you folks assistance.
I've reported several on this site. Each time the mods cleaned it up in minutes. Thanks to the mods for doing a great job in all areas and not just in this one. But special thanks for keeping the board clean and safer by blocking them to begin with.
Keep in mind, (as I understand it) its ok to recommend a product or service if you feel the need so we don't want to go over board with the reporting. unsolicited Self promotion is not allowed. You can buy ads for that and fishin.com will be glad to make a spot for you. Fishin.com can correct me if I am wrong but I thought it might be a good time for a refresher on the rule.
Duayne,is that directed at me?
I saw that one on Friday and before I could report it, Bam it was gone. Will help if I can.
Not at all. It was general totally in nature.
cool,thanks.....
To clarify again. It is my fault that fishfinder general is posting here. I have not had time to create a place in the reports section for him to post. Apologies to all.
