Smile Spammers

Hi all,


It's come to our attention that as THB climbs higher up the search engines we are attracting more spammers to our site. Please can i ask you all to be on the look out for users posting in the wrong threads or posting what seems to be totally OFF the topic of a thread.

If you do come across anyone doing this, please just click on the Esclamation Mark that you will find in the top right hand corner of the post box. This will Report a Bad Thread to our Admins & Mods so we can remove the post and ban the user.

Many thanks.

Keep THB Spam Free!!!

We seem to be getting a lot of spam for one particular site, I have a feeling that they are being posted by automated bots, but I'm on their case

typeinternational.com - there has been quite a lot of them. It's a site that wants you to pay to register for "homeworking opportunities" - a scam IMHO.

Yes it is... any job that requires you to pay 1st is indeed scammish... imagine the real world, the employer asks you to pay 1st before you start working for the company - now that makes sense doesnt it..?

Back here - Perhaps we should ban the word from appearing...
