    re: spammers/scammers

    aaaai think we not only need to not respond to spammers but not even look at their posts period. every time we doo it shows intrest to them id what ever BS they are pushing. Also if it is a bott spam, and the bot recieves 0 responce from a site the bott is programmed to disreguard the site. so dont even click the post to look at it even though it is simetimes fun to see what scam they are trying today. just my .02

    That is a good thought, however, the quicker someone can report, the quicker someone can get to it and delete it.

    Also, by clicking on the post, it can create a "back-link". In this case, that is bad. The "system" measures a site's popularity partly by the number of back-links. Like Parrothead, just report it.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
