Default Intro/ Spam Report

For those of you that may be new to PT.com, I am nj85z28, Administrator here and at CamaroForums.com.

Over the last few years these forums have become active with spammers. Posting links to ****, etc. Even going as far as to private message users of our boards posing as Admins or Moderators. The only Admins/Moderators of this site as of 3/15/2010 are-

nj85z28-Admin
Patrick-Admin
IB Adrian
IB Ann
IB Advertising
IB Cliffom
IB swetha
IB Vendor Setup and
PostRelease


Out of those the only ones that might actually send a PM would be Patrick or myself. So please, DO NOT open messages from those posing as officials from PT.com.

Also add to that List-

EvansBlue
CplThomas


For those of you who continue to PM me about the spammers, here is an update

I have adjusted the usergroup settings to disallow anyone under 10 posts more than 1 Private Message

Anyone awaiting email confirmation can no longer send PM's

Anyone in the COPPA section can no longer send PM's

This should alleviate the problem. If you do get a junk PM after today which is March 18, 2010, please post the name here and they will be taken care of.

Thank you,

Staff of PT.com

Default remove

I believe I have been mistakenly added and registered to your forum. While I do have interest it will be best to remove me from your registery untill this is cleared up. I regularly run spam and virus protection so how this got here is a mystery to me.

There is nothing in my user cp and I would have filled out something so the registry is bogus.

Just delete me altogether. Thanks

If you read what I said at all, you would see that WE are NOT sending those messages. They are being sent by SPAM BOTS.

I am doing my best to eradicate the problem
