appear offline to stop them spamming your PM's - it's in your profile somewhere, i'll try to find it now. they get the names to PM from the list at the bottom of the main page - if you ain't on it you don't get spammed

You can also add him to your ignore list, i just wish when you added someone to your ignore list it would ignore their posts as well as their PMs.

yeah that would work but the account that posts that shit changes every now and then, so you'd have to do it every time they change the name

I've erased no less than 4 accounts this evening belonging to these idiots, you think they piss you off? at least I can delete them and all their hard earned spam with 3 clicks of the mouse.

At least it is a consolation to know that you delete their accounts!!

Just slows them down though at the end of the day, all the time they get a few bites they will just keep trying over and over opening new accounts, some times as fast as they get deleted!

Still any kind of hurdle, no matter how small, is better than doing nothing about it! Plus it removes all there threads meaning that its not just as easy as creating a new account they then have to waste their time spamming again!!
