Please keep us posted. Again, I am more than willing to put in time as a spam-eliminator if required.

+1; I'll be happy to volunteer as well. Would be a real shame to just let the spammers have this forum.

This is nothing compared to the snipping and hostility at rec.bicycles.tech.

A few frequent writers there take great pleasure at throwing shite around, otherwise have little to say. Small weenies is my guess.

I have given up on the usenet groups. I would rather deal with the spam here than with some of the people that populate those groups.

Add me to the list of volunteers to:

1) clean up spam threads/messages
2) Banning spamming users
3) Anything else needed to eliminate the spam

I have volunteered before... it seems most of those still persisting here have as well.

They simply need to add the feature that allows users to "ingnore" other users like on the yahoo message boards. This will allow everyone to eliminate spam from their account. The typical argument is that spamers can keep creating new names and my solution is let them try to keep up with my ignore button. They will soon move on to an easier target.

Well, thanks to the admin/mods who have cleaned up every little bit of spam on all of the sections of the cyclingforums site.

Grazie!

It'd be nice to know what happened. Like, was he away?
