That's the last straw. GOODBYE!

Okay, here we go... again.
This time the crasher is "sew69ko41", whose message is (if you bother to translate it) that he can obtain bootleg Nike sports shoes for you.
This board is the only one I've seen that gets plagued with this sort of thing, and it happens so often it makes me very uneasy about the security here.
I hope any personal information I've posted here isn't being harvested by "sew69ko41", or other customers of his. Notice that he is a registered "member" now and has access to the Watercooler and other member profile information. Thanks a lot, board security folks!
I'm gone.
I would appreciate it if those who know my regular email address will notifiy me when it's safe to come back here, if it ever really is. But in the meantime I feel that only a total fool would post anything on this board when there are so many other, more secure blogs out there.
Bye! It's been great, and I hope to meet you in other venues.

I dunno, L&J, every forum I've been on has had a constant struggle with spam bot thingys, the mods are always deleting, banning, chasing IPs etc trying to curtail it. Once in awhile one gets thru. Yep, it sucks. Sucks for all involved, esp the moderators.

Speaking of SPAM ...

Why did you feel the need to cross-post your rant to several different forums on the board? We got it the first time.

:roll:

he's not here anymore, sadly....

LJ was one of the most welcoming and informative guys on here, to me at least.

Six whole posts and you're calling out one of the most knowledgeable and respected members of this forum? Whatever. :?

Maybe I should post my reply under every one of his rants. That would double my post count. Would that make you happy? :lol: :wink:
