Amount of Spams in the Forum!

Gosh, I'm new and all I see around here are spam posts. Are there anyone around here that are cleaning up the forum? Sorry for posting here, but I've no where else to post this.

You can report any post you think is spam by clicking on the report post icon under the members username.

We have about 120 moderators so someone will be onto it pretty quickly.

Just make sure you change your signature to meet our rules, you can have the link only to your blog, or you might also get labeled as a spammer.


Interesting blog you have too, I notice all of your articles are copied from other sites with out any credit given to the original author.
One of your copied articles even had a very clear copyright notice on the bottom of the original and you are in breach of it.

A spammer posting about the abuse of spam? That's rich.

Err, what? Copying articles? Lol, check copyscape before you talk dude. I haven't copied anyone's article.
@muscletang, I'm a spammer just because I have a signature? Or because of what moppie said? You jump to conclusions and make it sound as though it is real. Grow up.

Don't worry about Muscletang, he's just here as part of a special needs program........ :eek7:



If you are serious about writing automotive articles, we have our own news department here, and are actively looking for new writers?

I'm not worried about anyone. Just annoyed when it comes to how they actually reply. As for you, you said I've copied articles. I hope you can point out which ones are they. If you can't, I'll appreciate if you remove that accusation.

I may have jumped the gun, but copy and pasting a paragraphy for the article on muscle cars gives these results: http://www.google.co.nz/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=These+cars+were+once+very+affordable+with+aggres sive+design+but+the+handling+is+pretty+bad.+Normal ly+used+for+drag+racing%2C+these+cars+can+pack+up+ to+500+horsepower+at+the+expense+of+feeding+the+ga s+hungry+engines+enormously.#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=A+muscle+car%2C+by+the+strictest+definition%2C+i s+an+intermediate+sized%2C+performance+oriented+mo del%2C+powered+by+a+large+V8+engine%2C+at+an+affor dable+price.+Most+of+these+models+were+based+on+%E 2%80%9Cregular%E2%80%9D+production+vehicles.+These +vehicles+are+generally+not+considered+muscle+cars %2C+even+when+equipped+with+large+V8s.+If+there+wa s+a+high+performance+version+available%2C+it+gets+ the+credit%2C+and+not+the+vehicle+that+it+was+base d+on.&pbx=1&oq=A+muscle+car%2C+by+the+strictest+definition%2C+ is+an+intermediate+sized%2C+performance+oriented+m odel%2C+powered+by+a+large+V8+engine%2C+at+an+affo rdable+price.+Most+of+these+models+were+based+on+% E2%80%9Cregular%E2%80%9D+production+vehicles.+Thes e+vehicles+are+generally+not+considered+muscle+car s%2C+even+when+equipped+with+large+V8s.+If+there+w as+a+high+performance+version+available%2C+it+gets +the+credit%2C+and+not+the+vehicle+that+it+was+bas ed+on.&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=16418l16418l4l16785l1l0l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=ab22a85efc9bc530&biw=1713&bih=1363

That's because it's the "strict definition" which I obviously posted in the article. When I meant strict, obviously it's not meant to be changed. Anyway, I'm not here as a spammer. I'm a car enthusiast myself and I've always loved to help people out.

In that case I aplogise for accusing you of copying your content.

I should have checked more of your articles. :cool:

That is awesome!

Welcome to AF!


We're a slightly crazy bunch, AF has been around since 2001, Igor, who started it all, is a huge car nut and spent last season racing in the Japanese GT series.

I go to my corner (car audio) normally at least once a day, I clean up spam every time I see it. Some forums are not as well visited, so they are not as quickly moderated.
