Spammers....

Post by Frank_Cox » November 16th, 2012, 10:18 am

Howdy everybody! We got hit hard with a buncha spammers today. The Czar and I got them taken care of I think. If you see any suspicious posts please click on the triangle looking Exclamation point "!" at the top of that post. The Czar and I will get a notification to whack'em with the SpammHammer. Thanks!
