immivMI is a spammer.
Someone else said that they recieved pornographic spam via messages.
I haven't received any buy it's only a matter of time.
I deleted about ten pornographic posts from the same spammer today.
I'm going away for a couple of weeks after Christmas so won't be able to act as a moderator untill I get back. And if grant's not around at that time then the forum will get hit pretty bad.
I hope that Brad can delete a few as well.
These stupid spammers will do anything to shove their products in front of your face it seems. Rolling Eyes
By the way I didn't miss the one in Administration, I just can't find a delete button in any posts in the Admin forum. Confused

Hi Daniel - that should be fixed now. The moderator permissions are set on a forum-by-forum basis and you were OFF for Admin.

We're not going anywhere this year, so I will be around. I do plan on sleeping in a bit though, to make up for the rest of the year... Smile

Thanks for all moderator's work this year and I wish you all a great 2009 and Merry Christmas. It is your effort that allows us to be here.
All the best.

Unfortunately, it's more likely to be an automated Spambot (Eg XRumor) running from a Russian server, or a zombie farm (compromised PC's) elsewhere.

This makes it very hard to stop - a real person would eventually get sick of being deleted, a machine will not. Just ask Arnold Schwarzennegger.

Cheers

Grant
