Title: Help me help you
Post by: Josetann on November 18, 2005, 12:00:31 PM

When you spot a scammer/spammer/other lowlife trying to ruin the forums, please don't just reply to their post yelling that they're a scammer.  Click the report button at the bottom of their post, that will report the post to the moderators, and one of us will check out the post and take appropriate action.

And PLEASE don't quote the scammer's post, especially if their email is still in their post.  I may delete the scammer's post, but if I miss your reply deeper in the thread, then someone else may come along and see their entire post quoted in your reply, and fall for it (even if your reply states it's a scam, people will still fall for it).  Just report the post, and if you feel you must reply, please don't quote (and if you must quote, make sure their email address and any web links are removed).

Thank you.

Lozzy if you yell at scammers all it will do is move their threads back to the front page.  The best thing to do would report them and move on that way the honest threads stay on the front and the scamming ones move to the back.
