re: Spammers coming in here

Hi everybody,

I am seeing a few cases of people using our Forum to promote stuff that has nothing to do with entomology. Bless their hearts but this is not appropriate here. And, who knows, those links could be malicious. Please notifiy me if you see such a post. Thanks.

Yes! I've noticed a user under the name of 'celine', who seems to be a spammer. All nine of her posts are short and about nothing really, followed by some links to a seemingly random website. What's the motive? Viruses perhaps.

'elenalee' seems to be another one,too.

Yes, I saw those and I deleted the posts and the account. Thanks.
