J-rod replied: just a warning...they can even effect the site without anyone knowing....unless you are to scan for them. i have some really really good scan tools here at work and found a few...that were blocked by my comp.

MyLuvBugs replied: Yeah, I've noticed several spam posts on here lately too. Can't escape it, it seems. Thanks for the reminder though!!

prime example...first post on site is a joke?

JP&KJMOM replied: Thanks for te warning and reminder

lisar replied: Is there any way they can be deleted. Like the user name and the post? I replied to one of the jokes and didnt think nothing of it. My computer didnt detect anything. I never click on a link from a new user NEVER NEVER EVER.

Thank you for the warning though.

MommyToAshley replied: Like Di said, we remove spam as soon as we detect it. If you notice spam, then please report it to the mod of that forum.

It's good to be cautious, thanks for the reminder. As for getting the virus... you would have to click on the link. I don't want anyone to misunderstand your post and think they can get a virus from reading or replying to a message on this forum. And, I hope that we continue to welcome new users.... we were all new once.

You're right.... It's always good to have an anti-virus program running. I hope everyone has one. If not, AVG makes a good free version that I would recommend.

J-rod replied: let me clarify myself


no you wont get it by replying to the thread...but they (SPAM) can sometimes attack the server not the individual. youd have to click a link

and yes...we need new users...im still new....but you can tell who is here to stay and who is SPAM (or someone messing around) within a couple posts imo
