Sure, if you see it, report it. We don't always see the ones that "get through" as we're fishing through the "moderated" stuff.

Now, from the best that I can tell, between the louis vitton, uggs and viagra stuff, the spammers are all impotent cross dressers with no shoes.

Or with shoe fetishes -- worn with bogus NFL jerseys.

Have you seen the wave of what looks like investment come-ons from China?

or what about the ones that say like PostWord or something like that in them?

I would not buy nikes or jerseys or uggs (tho I do own a pair because someone gave them to me) or any of the rest of it, out of pure protest for spammers.

the spam isn't coming from the legit companies, it's coming from places selling knock-offs, so they're doubly despicable.

Well the spam scanner thing on Chaz is convinced I'm a spammer--I've been banned twice in the last year for "spam."

It must work if people keep posting it. I wonder if some of the links contain spyware, malware, etc. My stepdad has a bad habit of clicking random things and got some malware that locked up his computer and sent up a window with a message claiming to be the FBI, and that his computer had been used for illegal activities-terrorism, child porn, zoophilia (sp?), and sodomy porn. It said that if he didn't send $200 to an internet account he would be arrested in 72 hours. My parents totally believed it. They called DH because he's into computers--my mom was screaming at my stepdad because she thought he was going to be arrested, it was going to be in the paper, and she would have to resign because she is an elementary school teacher. Luckily DH talked them down, explained it was a scam, and went over to fix it and install better security software.

Oh, I'm sure some of it is full of worms. Probably most of it.

Ugh, Polish Spam. Wish I had paid attention when my Dad was trying to teach me the language, LOL. Yeah, even with this garbage I'm still curious.

As an aside, some brainiac typo'ed "Uggs as *Ughs* on my computer at work, makes me giggle every time I have to click on it because you sometimes mentally say what you read.

One way some get caught when we're cleaning up is if they've started a thread and it has no replies yet and it's in the middle of a column of spam, so one thing that helps is if you see a fellow member's thread that hasn't gotten a reply yet, take a second to post a reply.

Besides, it's always nice to be acknowledged
