Why they hell do all these spammers come here? I'm a member of other forums, and I don't see it nearly as much. And who the hell wants "fresh dumps" anyway? :confused: Uh, my girlfriend's cat take's a "fresh dump", and I want to puke :rolleyes:

    I'm wondering if writing a post about all the spam counts as spam?

    J/K :)

    Have a wonderful day everyone!

    On many of the "other" sites if you are new subscriber your posts have to be reviewed by a mod before it gets posted for a period of time. CP doesn't have that kind of staff to review the first 10-20 posts by every new member. The spam is annoying but it's deleted pretty quickly.

    That's what i don't get. Sometimes tehre's spam, both here and in my Inbox / Spam Folder, that doesn't even have a link, phone number, or even a valid return address if you WANTED to buy from them. What's the point?

    But yeah, I really wonder about the type of person who would get an unsolicited, poorly formed email, and think "hmm, this seems like a great place to buy PRESCRIPTION DRUGS."
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
