We're getting more and more forum spammers signing up - we've had 3-4 a day on occasion in recent weeks. We're actually killing most of them before they get a chance to post, but every once in a while once sneaks through.

Just an FYI - if you follow up to a SPAM post, as several of you did this morning when "Steek" made his/her debut, don't be offended when your post disappears. I delete the whole thread when I see them.

I appreciate your efforts keeping this board as spam free as possible. I would love to be able to do something like Ken said . Their more annoying than mosquitoes in your boat at night when your trying to sleep, and deserve the same treatment....search and destroy

Beer cheers and thanks guys again for keeping us and our site clean and clear.

Well, I guess I'll do my part to get rid of spam...and go have a spam sandwich with some sun rippened Bama tommatows and a smearing of mayo.....sprinkle of salt-n-pepper of course.

Hi Folks,

I also was one of the people who saw Steek. I e-mailed him and told him to take off. Thank you for killing it. If I wanted to gamble, I would find me an Indian Reservation in Connuctuit.

Glad to see we are all thinking along the same thread.

This is one great site, thanks to the people who police it.

Fred

PS: By the way, I hear that the Thames River cruise could be interesting?

Just a note to those of you that may be emailing spammers. If you use your personal email account the spammer has your email address and you open yourself to more spam. They also sell your email address to other spammers. It’s best to just ignore spammers.

Thank you Dave. I thought about it after I did it. The guy just got me "ticked off". I get loads of spam E-Mail. A lot from people reading my boat ad. (Not a C-Dory.) The Nigerian Scam. The antispam programs at Yahoo.com are great, and get most of it.

Gary,
Just click on Forums and down at the bottom is C-Dorys for Sale by Owners. Look at what and how others have posted and follow their lead. I would NOT put your email address in the text as it can be readily picked up by spammers.
