    We may not agree with the feeding, the personal attacks, either joking or not, need to stop.

    Lars, you are 100% right.....IF THIS WERE A REAL NEW MEMBER.

    The person that posted was a spammer and has placed a link to another page to gain sales or to scam people out of money. Their post made no sense and had nothing to do with scuba. We are constantly getting bombarded with spammers and it is extremely frustrating to deal with them.

    So it was not a joke and it would never happen to anyone really trying to be a member.

    NO

    I am always deleting those posts. Once in a while I get frustrated while doing it, especially when that new spammer puts up post after post. It takes a lot of time to do this and it gets my goat. From time to time I just loose my cool and say something. I wasn't aware that I was upsetting any of our real members, so in light of that I will no longer poke fun at the spammers as I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

    I do the same on another board. I delete the post, kick the member and block the IP. It is a little frustrating, but that is what I signed on for when I took the job.

    And it isn't a matter of hurting anyone's feelings. Most people have no idea there is a problem and end up thinking you are just being a jerk.

    Hang in there buddy ... we feel your pain!

    I used phpBB for my board and the user groups had TONS of skins, addon's and smileys. Try the user group for whatever software you are using here.

    Looks like you are using vBulletin and they have a community forum at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/ You should be able to get your board answers there. By the way ... this board software appears to be out of date since you are running 3.8.6 and the current version is 4.0.
