I`ve stickied this thread for the time being while we clear out those proven cheerleading scammers.

but still the fraudsters and bumpers like nblady=bobdog=hyiplady (possibly deleted) and with other ids are very "active" in the forum.

I`ve just banned several of a similar type ring in the Autosurf folder, and moved a few programs over to the Scams folder. They are really soooo obvious.

All 3 of those names are now banned, along with another one I found within that little `group.` If anyone comes across these cheerleaders then please feel free to post their usernames here, or report the post as a `Bad Post` and it`ll be looked at.

You would think that they would try harder.

There are alot of them out there and i only noticed them recently, mainly all over the eutrade.. And it has me worried..

Also, excelent work on getting them.. with them here there really is not much use for the forum.. Can they not be charged legally in some way for the missleading information ?

Thanks again guys, great job as always!

I used to read a site that was honestly for crazy people. It was called Godlikeproductions.com and is still up, check it out.
Anyhow, at one time the main characteristic of GLP was total and complete privacy and no moderation whatsoever. A lot of just inane posting and good arguments of nutty theories. Then one day, the admin started putting the IP address of the poster in the little block that shows stats etc on the post, and did it RETROACTIVELY, so you could go back and see who was either pimping themselves or arguing with themselves (this was both very common and hilarious). I've often wiched they would do that here, asign each IP a "number", (don't use the actual IP, it does create some problems) and let everyone at least see who is pimping whatever they are.

They are still at it, of course. Please see this post for an update:

I really appreciated your help shipdit. We are working hard to ban any of these cheerleader accounts and will not tolerate any of it. If anyone suspects an account is involved in cheerleading post bumping please post here or pm me and I will personally make sure its stopped.

thanks
