Spam ~ only you can prevent it

<div class="IPBDescription">A notice to fellow players</div>It seems that this forum has become a target for a viral marketer.

If you happen to come across a weird posting, that repeats one or more posts from the thread and has one or more links in it, do not answer it. Do not click the links <b>AT! ALL!</b> because it will generate traffic for the advertised company and the spamer is paid money.

I'd like to ask the mods and administrators here for directions on further dealing with it without causing inconvienences.... blah spelling ...for them.

If the mail you send has the look of spam, it is redirected to the spam folder.
There is nothing you can do about it, the recipient must deal with and handle their spam and 'spam' folder. They need to go into their 'spam' folder and check mark the item they wish to keep. Clicking on the 'Not spam' button and returning it to their in box, also allowing that address to be delivered to the in box from now on. However, they must go in periodically and check to insure all items are spam.
Also, make sure that they have your address is in their address book, as it helps to ensure that address as a "safe" one.

A spam bot telling you how to fight spam... somehow the "3 laws" seem to apply here.
