Sometimes, despite Len's best efforts, SPAM accounts get by. If you see a link offering to sell you something, or that does not in any way fit into Bluespiritgal.com, DO NOT click. Bad things can happen to your computer if you click these links, since they have been know to send nasty little viruses to your computer.
They may also include adult material or just adds you don't want to see. Please do not click on the links. Please PM a moderator if you spot a spam account. Thanks! P.S. Thanks SB -------------------- |

May I also point out that replying to such topics, threatening the poster, will not help.
It is more than likely a bot of some kind. You will get no response and the topic will be removed anyways, removing any possible chance of the person responsible seeing your reply to the topic. --------------------  ... I know I left it around here somewhere...  |

It does make them difficult to detect sometimes. People make very random topics, and sometimes a topic that was called "hey there something something glargle" which is a spam topic is pretty much the same title that could have been made by a fan. It can be a bit more difficult to detect topics if the person that started them is unseen, and instead of the poster being "gleeblesnob00324312" which is obviously a bot, it will be the name of a fan.
This is one of the reasons I prefer fans not to post in spam topics. --------------------  Another day in the life of an Earth Bender, friends, fighting and fan girls |

I feel the need to revive this topic so that everyone may be reminded of certain things.
Vlad brought up some very good points. It does make them hard to find if fans reply to the spam topics. So, please... Listen to us and refrain from replying to them. ._. Please also report them immediately. -------------------- ... I know I left it around here somewhere... |

 that's the right answer, alchemist! Group: Drones Posts: 6,957 Member No.: 468 Joined: 23-December 06 |
*smacks forehead* I'm sorry Len...
I've noticed though, from all the spam accounts I've seen they post their topics in the random shows forum. I wouldn't know why though. --------------------  |
