Please be aware that a member by the title of anthonytamin has been sending internal messages to members on this site. Please report any messages you receive, as they contain a Nigerian scam. The message also contains an email address, which you should make sure you add to any spam blockers that you have in your normal email accounts: anthony_tamin22@yahoo.fr Thanks! (Please other people, vote this up to the front page!) Na EDIT: For those who don't know, a Nigerian scam is one which asks you to send your bank details to a person in the promise of 'business transactions'.... DO NOT REPLY, JUST DELETE!! (For laughs, I sent a reply, which I thought people might get a kick out of: "Thank you for spamming me. I'm so glad you have, because I have now reported you to the admin of this site, and you will be banned from accessing it again. Feel free to send me a billion dollars for not being duped."

Just send a message via the feedback form to Grant, the web admin, to let him know that you got spammed. Actually, there's a much longer story - the spammer got spammed ;) I had a little fun with the person.

Delete it! I managed to stop the spammer going through all the members, but he probably sent about 40 or so emails. He won't be back :) Sticky Apple Legs www.thepromptcopy.com/sal Puppets in Melbourne www.puppetsinmelbourne.com.au My puppets www.collectzing.com/collection/137/

It seems pointless to add my name to this list but I got it and deleted it straight off. So we "report" via the feedback page, Na? ~ Tari The Writer is a child forever listening at the keyhole of the adult world.

Yes, though I think it's ok now. I have a feeling Grant's gotten the message (the person hasn't come back, so it's more than likely they've been banned already).

Spam Alerts and our "backups"

I would personally like to thank the quick actions of Na and the other members of the usually unsung voluntary vigilante "backup" team involved in keeping this website safe from the likes of Mr. Tammin.

Through their dilligence and the hard work of our devoted Web Master, Grant, we can all feel safe in the knowledge that we are protected from the myriad of idiots and scammers that would usually pester any internet group such as ours.

Standing Ovations for you all!!
