It'd be nice if there was a "Report Spam" button or an option to e-mail this to a site moderator.

Eventually, spammers get banned in the end.

You're welcome. You did very well by starting this thread - it's important that we find out about these people before they manage to spam the whole board.

I get about 100 a day. You can't believe how many girls want to meet me or how many Nigerians want to give me millions of dollars.

So many of these emails assume that I am a poor overweight loser with a poor credit rating, small private parts and erectile problems.

Ok, that might be true. So which of you smart alecs ratted me out?

What I don't understand is why they think I might want bigger breasts. :roll:
