Post by hotbug1776 »

Holy random ad posts batman!!!

While i do like model cars, stickers, and scented candles. The 30 posts telling me to buy these things is a bit of a put off. LOL

What the hell just happened at 7:33 pm tonight ???? Major spamming clogging up the legitimate posts to where it makes it difficult to read. Can a moderator remove "ihjwernml579" and all posts immediately? It's like in an "auto-release" posting nightmare out of control. Hope someone can find and read this post amongst all the spammed posts! :o

ihjwernml579 (aka a$$clown) is the user that I've been having my subscribed topics getting replied to with spam. As much as I like to provide advice to those issues to someone having the same issue I went thru, sadly I'm about ready to unsubscribe from all my topics.
