Very Interesting Here!

Hello world! I'm from Latvia, I now have a computer and Internet! It's so interesting here! But on some forums I see strange posts, they offer to buy some pills or something and they look very stupid. It is robots posting? I thought moderators should delete such posts. Maybe somebody will explain me what's going on? But at all it is very interesting to speak to all you people!
Kisses! :)

    First of all, this section is for hardware posts. Second of all, I got to those posts within a few hours of them being posted. *Someone* has to delete the posts, they cant be blocked.. so they're going to be there untill an administrator notices them.

    If we had anti spam measures it'd help :P

    My dad regularly gets hilarious emails at work with subject lines like "Sir, why your sausage so small?"

    I like to tell him that it's his boss or the people in the office next door sending them from a foregin email address.

    I'm surprized he doesn't know that it's SPAM.

    Anyway, to the original poster, the posts you saw were SPAM. When one of the administrators sees them they get deleted and the IP behind them banned.

    For more info, see:

    Yea and AFAIK me and Duff dont ever ban the spam IPs. I know that at least I just delete the posts, since its a new IP every time.
