Glad to know that my forum isn't the only one getting hit hard by spammers lately.

Anyway, pizza is burning. *runs to get it out of the oven*

We have a great mod team here. And, you're right... they don't get the recognition they deserve. All of them put in a lot of time to help maintain TF. If you appreciate them, let them know.

A lot of thanks should go to the members who report the spam. I get all kinds of spam reports throughout the day and night. if more would report instead of posting their own little comments it would be even better. We mods have to clean up the spam... and then have to clean up what other members posted as well.

Yeah I have noticed a lot lately. I have reported the same person a couple of times who kept signing up after he got banned and spamming the same stuff. I will keep my eyes peeled.
And yes I appreciate the work of the mods, they do an great job.

Sometimes it's easier and more interesting to look for spam!:grind: :tired:
