Dealt with.

There is a way to bulk clean spam, but when someone responds to the topics are left with those people's responses as happened this time (and it is more likely to result in time-outs). Better not to respond, and those may be spam bots, right? In that case they are not conscious entities.

^ Yes, that's what I find funny. Of course it's not funny for the admins - I hope they at least have a button to delete all the threads started by a user.

That's the most ridiculous amount of spam I've ever seen on PA. That user needs to be quickly canned! Thumbs Down

with a link to his myitalianprog.com website but I could not find a report feature in messenger... seems a bit iffy when it's a new member and is probably messaging members at random.

Just a heads up for you admins.


I received that same message too, which immediately put me on spam alert, wondering if we'd all been spammed with the same message -  and it looks like we have. Smile


RPI is one of several sub-genres of prog that I've never really got into - my main interests lie in symphonic, eclectic, psych & space, Canterbury, and heavy prog.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

THX for un-hiding my post! It would've been a pity had my input been lost forever because of a certain "Sweet Onion" :P

Does anybody know why my post here: {LINK} is "pending approval"? Did I say something wrong? I was responding to somebody, but their post is gone.

Received it too. The website seems legit. But it's spam nonetheless. He could simply have posted it in the forums!
